Sign up to our e-newsletter for updates on our tailor made and small group trips to Botswana.
We offer the following types of trips to Botswana - click on these links for some sample itineraries and contact us for a bespoke itinerary:
Small Group Trip: with a maximum of 12 people, this trip is guided and runs for 11 days.
Tailor Made Trips: Botswana is a top-end, luxury fly-in destination - offering true wilderness and fabulous game viewing. See our sample itineraries.
We have some excellent photos from a recent safari trip in Botswana - take a peek at what you could be looking at!
Botswana is a special place to safari. Thanks to their government's sustainable tourism policies, tourism developments have been limited, resulting in a high density of wildlife and very privileged wilderness experience.
During high season (June - Nov), expect to see huge numbers of elephant, buffalo and frequent predator activity. In low season, birding is fabulous, there are lots of baby mammals around and zebra and wildebeest migration in the Kalahari is a sight to behold.
Because distances between destinations can be great - and travel by road uncomfortable, we recommend travelling through Botswana by fly-in safaris - which afford fabulous views of the vast wilderness as well as allowing more time for wildlife viewing activities from each base. Accommodation is typically in luxury lodges - and may feature luxury tents or reed-built chalets typically situated along the edge of waterways or in remote wilderness areas.

Customer Comments on Botswana
I just have to return to Botswana. There were some such special moments to remember – waking up to the sound of hippos, seeing wild dogs and getting close to some elephant. We successfully tracked leopard and saw hundreds of buffalo. Just fabulous (Mrs Merlin, Cornwall).
Our honeymoon in Botswana was wonderfully special. We never knew a tent in the bush could accommodate his & her sinks, a four poster bed and a chez lounge! We watched one night as an elephant trundled right past our tent and another evening a private dinner was prepared for us in the middle of the bush. (Mrs & Mrs Blackwell, Surrey)
We will never forget coming across a lioness and her cub whilst out on a guided bushwalk whilst in the Linyanti. The Delta was just fabulous – we loved being in the wilderness – it was a shock to return to civilisation. Where else in the world can you go these days and say that? (Dr English, Leeds).
I just had to laugh – when we arrived by small aircraft at our camp in the Delta, our guide had to chase the warthog off the runway before the plane could take off again! In just a few days, I saw baby leopard, cheetah, 3 lions, hyaena, herds of buffalo – and a herd of elephant which passed right next to our game vehicle. Just a magical experience. (Ms Holmes, Kent)
