Botswana
Unbeatable. Intimate. Captivating.
The appeal of Botswana with its pristine, remote landscapes, transformative experiences and positive-impact travel, beats as strong as ever in the world of safaris.
In today’s world, privacy and access to space are the ultimate luxuries – and in Botswana, you can put a hefty tick next to both of them. From the juicy waterways and floodplains of the Okavango Delta that teem with wildlife to the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans and its surreal, moon-like scenery, a safari here is about discovering far-flung concessions in authentic camps and on mobile expeditions. The operators in Botswana have a shared mission to conserve these wild places, resulting in sustainable but thrilling experiences in one of the world’s most beautiful countries.

Where to go in Botswana:
A VAST Experience
Thanks to a largely conservation-focused model and government foresight to have as little impact on the environment as possible, experiences in Botswana are private and magical. Tourist numbers are purposely kept low and it’s rare to see one or even two other vehicles on a game drive. Instead, you’ll enjoy intimate sightings that will surpass almost any other on the continent amongst a Noah’s Ark of wildlife. Game drives are big news, allowing you to cover as much distance as possible, but walking safaris in these remote landscapes are key to connecting with nature. Mokoro safaris offer a different perspective on the wildlife and cultural experiences with the San bushmen and poignant and fascinating.
Mobile expeditions in Botswana are, quite simply, phenomenal. Often run by small, owner-led operators, they strip back the trappings of over-designed luxury accommodation and offer life-changing experiences where being wild and free is front and centre.
The number of camps in each of the Delta’s pristine concessions is limited by the government in order to protect the ecosystems as much as possible – which for you means intimate experiences in acres of land that feel like your own.
