Did you know Botswana is Africa’s most exclusive destination for a safari? Below are four reasons why you should chose a Botswana safari for your next holiday:

Luxury Combined with Authenticity

Standards are extremely high in Botswana’s camps with top quality wines, food, service and accommodation. The huge tented suites are spacious and will often comprise a bedroom, living area, outdoor decking and luxurious en-suite bathroom. What’s more, these suites will be under white flowing canvas meaning you can combine the luxury safari experience with an authentic, wilderness one too.

Unusual Destinations

In Botswana you’ll find some really unusual places and landscapes which make your holidays here even more special. The Okavango Delta, for example, is a spectacular area of wetlands where the Okavango River runs inland. It’s rich in wildlife and there are lots of different ways to explore, including hopping into a traditional mokoro canoe and floating along the shimmering water channels. Elsewhere you’ll find the wild, stark Central Kalahari Game Reserve, a desert area. It’s difficult to survive in such a harsh place but the San Bushmen have been in the area for thousands of years and can share their fascinating secrets of survival with you.

Lots of Private Reserves

There are lots of private reserves in Botswana which are home to incredible wildlife populations but also have less visitors. This means you won’t be bumping into lots of people. You’ll have a good degree of privacy as you explore and it’s most unlikely that you’ll have to share your sightings with other tourists.

Elephant Activities

Elephant populations in Botswana are prolific and for that reason it’s one of the best places to go if you’re an enthusiast. There are several camps where you get even closer to these magnificent creatures. At Stanley’s Camp, guests can enjoy a special elephant experience where you will walk with a trio of habituated elephant as they forage for their breakfast and, after the walk, you’ll sit down to a delicious lunch. This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about elephant behaviour and interaction.
