BOTSWANA

Suggested itineraries

Classic Botswana Safari

Okavango Delta

Day 1 – 3

This unique inland delta is a fascinating place which changes continually by the ebb and flow of the seasonal flood waters. Because of the seasonal watery channels, boating safaris and mokoros become a great way to view the wildlife as well as traditional 4x4 safaris and guided walks. The wildlife congregates here in huge numbers making it one of the premier places on the planet to see big cats such as lions and leopards. In addition, sleep outs and hot air balloon safaris are available in the area.

Linyanti

Day 4 – 6

The Kwando-Linyanti river system is home to a series of private game reserves, where an abundance of wildlife roams freely between the woodland habitats, ancient floodplains and forests that make up these lush, unfenced reserves. The big game in this area increases dramatically during the dry season when the area hosts large herds of impala, blue wildebeest, giraffe and buffalo as well as the world’s highest density of elephant. Several packs of wild dog are found in the area and lion, leopard and cheetah are frequently sighted.

Victoria Falls

Day 7 – 9

Your final destination is Victoria Falls (Mosi oa Tunya) and is listed as a World Heritage Site. The Zambezi River, that feeds the Falls, flows year-round, reaching its peak between April – July after the rains. Falls visits are a must, but the area is known also for its adrenaline sports and water activities; including Gorge Swing, helicopter flights, white water rafting and bungee jumping to name a few.

Day 10

Depart homeward bound or continue your adventure in neighbouring South Africa, Zambia or Namibia.

Classic Botswana Desert Safari

Kalahari Game Reserve

Day 1 – 3

Adventurous travellers seeking a truly remote African safari will be thrilled to discover that such a thing still exists. As the second largest game reserve in the world and one of the least visited, nothing can prepare you for the sheer wonder of exploring this vast reserve with its wild, untouched beauty. The landscape is dominated by sand veldt and acacias, interspersed with grasslands, and dotted with occasional sand dunes, pans and fossil river valleys. Guests will be guided on game drives and walks in addition to horse riding and quad bike safaris.

Makgadikgadi & Nxai Pan National Parks

Day 4 – 6

An opportunity to visit the Makgadikgadi Pan, the world’s largest salt pan, is not to be missed. The pan was formed on the bed of an ancient lake that began evaporating aeons ago, but today is a relatively sparsely visited park which supports one of Africa’s largest migrations of zebra as well as vast numbers of flamingos and other water birds. Enjoy game drives and walks, sleep outs, quad bike safaris.

Day 7

Depart homeward bound or continue your adventure in neighbouring South Africa, Zambia or Namibia.

Horse Riding In Botswana

Tuli Block

Day 1 – 7

Take a tailor-made safari and enjoy the thrill of a horseback adventure in the wild. Due to the nature of the terrain, the rides cater generally for advanced riders, but there is plenty to do for non-riders too. Guests can choose from a day, a few days or a full week, staying at lodge, tented accommodation or full on open-air sleep outs. Gently ride amongst a plethora of wildlife species including lion, cheetah, leopard, African wild dog, a multitude of plains game like zebra, wildebeest and giraffe, as well as over 350 species of birds. Sleeping out under the stars in the wilderness of Africa is always a memorable experience. The constant sounds of the night, hyenas whooping, lions growling and elephants snapping branches are memories to treasure, and even in the safety of the wooden kraal there is always a sense of being tangibly close to nature. A most thrilling and unique way to safari!
