Botswana Safaris

Botswana is a land of unspoilt wilderness, unlimited
wildlife and one of the safest countries to visit in the world

to the ancient superlake of Makgadikgadi pans,
there is much to discover and experience.

From the mystical hills to the thirstlands of Kalahari
Botswana is a land of contrasts

    Linyati Game Reserve & Savuti

  • Botswana's most underrated wildlife area is
  • The Kwando Linyanti River system
  • renowned for predators and large concentrations of game, during the dry winter months and with the arrival of the first rains in late November animals move to the Savute and elsewhere

    Parts of Savuti are almost desert-like, while at the other extreme are vast grass plains full of game, especially in summer when huge herds of zebra migrate south from the Linyanti to gorge on the abundant grazing

    The extraordinary Gubatsa hills in Savute rise to an astonishing 90 metres out of a completely flat landscape

    Botswana General Info

    Botswana is Africa's oldest democracy, has the strongest currency with a history of prosperity and peace for a perfect safari holiday

    It occupies 581 730km² of plateau with an average elevation of 1000 m. More than 100 000km² is devoted to game reserves and national parks. Over 80% of Botswana is a semi arid region of grassland or thorn trees with erratic rainfall

    Beyond the narrow eastern corridor where the majority of the population is concentrated, Botswana is a largely roadless wilderness of savannahs, deserts, wetlands and salt pans

    In certain parks you can watch some of the richest concentration of wildlife in the world, as undisturbed as it must have been for thousands of years, with no other vehicles or tourists to spoil your safari.

    Botswana Safari Highlights

    With its unique Okavango delta and the wildlife wonderland of the Chobe national park, Botswana is one of Africa's premier tourist safari destinations.

    Botswana's leaders took the view that high quality / low volume tourism was the best way to create a sustainable industry, while still preserving the environment. The high price, low impact has worked brilliantly and now you can enjoy safaris and game viewing with just the people in your camp

    April to August is one of the best times to tour Botswana, although it is winter the weather is still pleasant and it is dry. July to September is the busiest time as Europe and America have annual holidays

    Botswana least crowded times are January to June, October & November. Prime safari game viewing time, is September & October as the animals have to relieve themselves from the heat at perennial rivers and waterhole's.

    In Botswana summer rains arrive from November to March, at which time the animals make their way to pastures rich in new grasses in the Kalahari Plains where you might see vast herds of Zebra, Antelope and Buffalo. At this time in the Okavango animals are difficult to see but the bird life is outstanding. It's the best value for money with safaris at fantastic rates

    Our packages are tailor made and can be adjusted to suit. We will gladly supply a quote with or without flights for any package tour of accommodation, transfers and activities for your Botswana Travel
