Botswana is a safe and welcoming destination and has been politically stable for many years. The local people are peaceful and unlike many other countries in Africa - there is very little crime.

We have some of the most magical wonders of the world on our doorstep – The Okavango Delta , the Makgadikgadi Pans, the Central Kalahari, Tsodilo Hills and the Victoria Falls all within an hours flight by light aircraft.

There is very little tourist impact – Botswana is the worlds last wilderness that has not been over commercialised or exploited.

No mass tourism, The government policy of low impact tourism has ensured that the wilderness remains pristine.

Fantastic Game viewing – depending on the area you choose, some of the species you may see, include Wild Dogs, Leopard, Lion, Lechwe, & Sitatunga Antelope, to name a few.

Botswana has the largest concentration of Elephant left in the world.

Botswana is very central and easily combined with holidays to Namibia, South Africa, Mozambique and Zambia.

Botswana offers a great variety of destinations to visit within the country – some more well known than others. You choose which areas you would like to visit and Botswana Holidays can incorporate these areas either as part of a Lodge safari or camping trip.

We have featured some of the well known areas in detail within this section indicating the type of safaris each can offer (see separate pages)

Well known areas to visit in Botswana include:

The Okavango Delta
Moremi NP
Chobe NP
Nxai Pan NP
Magadikgadi NP
Central Kalahari Game Reserve

More then 17% of Botswana has been set aside as national parks or game reserves. All require rugged 4 wheel drive vehicles where distance is measured in time not kilometres. Some are so remote that they should only be visited using professional safari guides with purpose built vehicles and equipment, others are more easily reached but still provide a “challenge”
Most reserves do have very basic public campsites with ablutions but the supply of water can never be taken for granted and in all cases it should be assumed that there is no water available. No reserves offer any food or other amenities all must be purchased in some of the larger towns.
It must be noted however that most parks and reserves do have quality privately run lodges and camps for the discerning traveller who perhaps does not have the specialist equipment or time and expertise to visit on their own.
