From the moment your light aircraft touches down on a dusty airstrip in the heart of the Okavango Delta, Botswana weaves its magic. This landlocked nation, a sun-bleached canvas of southern Africa, holds within it a secret: a sprawling, vibrant wetland that dares to flow inland, bringing life to a parched kingdom.

Our expert advisors uncover the magic of this emerald oasis. Embark on thrilling game drives with private guides in an open-sided Land Cruiser as you jolt through the savannah. Then, as the sun sinks into the horizon, sip sundowners at intimate camps above Chobe’s elephant-dotted floodplains.

Botswana offers safaris like no other, with nearly 40% of the country existing as protected wilderness. Glide silently through Delta waters in a traditional mokoro (canoe) as fish eagles soar overhead, or witness a heart-stopping wild dog hunt in Savuti. Every day offers a front-row seat to nature’s raw, breathtaking drama.
