The beautiful African country of Botswana is one of the world’s best locations for wildlife safari tours. The nation’s Chobe National Park is home to a large population of lions, or you can plan a trip to the Okavango Delta to see hippos, elephants and crocodiles. Many tours depart from the town of Maun, where you’ll also find a museum on local culture and crafts.

Botswana Insights from our Local Travel Expert

Botswana Highlight

What makes Botswana unique compared to other destinations?

Botswana is all about vast, untouched wilderness and a strong focus on low-impact tourism. It’s one of the few places where you can experience safari in a way that feels truly unspoiled and immersive. In the Okavango Delta, for example, you can glide through quiet channels on a mokoro and explore on foot. The stillness, close encounters with wildlife, and sense of being completely present in nature make it unlike anywhere else.

Botswana's Hidden Gem

One lesser-known, off-the-beaten-path destination in Botswana and why is it special?

The Makgadikgadi Pans offer a completely different perspective. These vast salt flats feel almost surreal in the dry season, while the green season brings migrating zebras and birdlife. Experiences like walking with meerkats or sleeping under the stars make this area incredibly memorable.

Tips for Botswana Travel

Are there any common mistakes travelers make when visiting Botswana that they could avoid?

Many try to do too much too quickly. Distances are long, and transfers often involve light aircraft, so it’s best to slow down and spend a few nights in each location to really experience it. Another misconception is that Botswana is only for ultra high-end luxury travel. While it is known for exclusive safari experiences, there are also more accessible options available that still deliver incredible wildlife, expert guiding, and a strong sense of place. What you’re really paying for on safari isn’t just accommodation or game drives — it’s the silence of the bush, the space, the privacy, the depth of guiding, and the feeling of being completely immersed in nature.

Amazing Adventure

This trip exceeded our expectations in almost every way. The proximity to the wildlife was extraordinary, the range of wildlife was exceptional and the entire experience is unforgettable. The trip was enhanced by the outstanding nature of our group leader, Brian, and the support team, Brighton, Timoth and Moeti. The food was excellent and nothing was too much trouble for the team. The trip is tough, early starts, lots of dust and bumpy roads but the rewards make all of this worthwhile and part of the experience.

An adventure of a lifetime

Having done a safari in lodges in Kenya 20+years ago, we wanted to experience the adventure of a safari under canvas, getting up close to the wildlife of Botswana. Oh boy! We were not disappointed. This was the most thrilling holiday we've ever been on; absolutely sensational. Our leader, Brian, and his team were brilliant, making sure everything ran smoothly and we got the most out of each day. Wild camping is an experience like no other. It's very down-to-earth, can be very hot and dusty, but is a lot more comfortable than you might think. Our party were all 50+years old but adapted to the camping easily. There are lots of early starts, but who cares when you see so much wonderful wildlife. This is an adventure not to be missed.
