Botswana

“Dumela!” – A warm African hello

Botswana, nature’s magnificent pageantry of life

One of the few remaining true wilderness destinations and unspoilt by mass tourism, Botswana offers an unparalleled safari destination to both the first time safari traveller and the seasoned safari enthusiast.

With diverse and contrasting game viewing areas on offer, including the pristine Okavango Delta, the famous Chobe River, the rugged savannas of the Savute, the lush marshlands of the exclusive Linyanti concession areas, combined with the vast lunar landscapes of the Makgadikgadi Pans and the renowned Central Kalahari, Botswana is a land of incomparable safari destinations.

Botswana is a stable democracy built on a thriving economy and a local culture of friendly and proud people. This, together with the diverse array of unspoilt and game enriched areas, allows Botswana to offer a Safari experience unrivalled by any other.
