One of the few unspoilt wildernesses left in the world, Botswana is a great place to go on Safari. Safaris make up one of the largest parts of Botswana's tourist trade, and they can proudly boast that they have some of the best quality safari experiences in Africa!

The Okavango Delta is the largest inland delta in the world. Rather than flowing into the sea, the Okavango River empties into the Kalahari Desert - a spectacular phenomenon to behold! One of the remotest safari camps in the Okavango Delta is the camp of Duba Plains. The camp is situated on an island surrounded by flood plains that are flooded at different times of year. The area is home to lions, elephants, and buffalo to name but a few of the local residents! Alternatively, for those wanting a few home comforts, the Xigera Camp is situated in the centre of the Okavango Delta with luxury tents. Each room is raised off the ground, with excellent views of the floodplains.

The Moremi Game Reserve situated within the Okavango Delta is a haven for photographic safaris. at the heart of the Moremi Game Reserve is the Mombo Camp. The Mombo Camp has luxurious tents raised high up off the ground to allow wildlife to roam freely through the camp, making for some very close experiences!

The Linyanti Game Reserve is located in northern Botswana on the corners of the Chobe National Park. The Linyanti Game Reserve is home to a wide variety of species, but is best known for its very large elephant population. The King's Pool Camp overlooks the hippo filled lagoons, and is probably the most luxurious camp in Botswana.

The Makgadikgadi Pans provide you with the backdrop of lush scenery for your safari holiday. Local wildlife includes meerkats, springboks, and black-mained lions in the dry season, and flamingos and zebra during the wet season. Located in the Makgadikgadi Pans is Jack's Camp, offering quad biking across the vast salt pans, as well as geology, archaeology, and anthropology to do in between safaris.
