Places to visit in Botswana

The varied landscapes of Botswana’s parks and reserves are what make it such a rewarding safari destination. Our specialists have experienced each corner of the country and can use their first-hand knowledge to help you decide on the best places to go for your Botswana safari.

In the north, the sparkling waterways and emerald floodplains of the Okavango Delta are an oasis in this largely arid continent, attracting hippo, crocodile and clouds of brightly plumed birds that you can spot from a mokoro (dugout canoe). Dominating the heart of Botswana is the Central Kalahari Game Reserve — a sandy wilderness punctuated by salt pans and open plains where black-maned lion and cheetah stalk grazing herds of springbok and zebra. Then there’s Chobe National Park, whose elephant numbers during the dry season reach the tens of thousands.
