Botswana is a landlocked nation, bordered by South Africa, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. It is dominated by the Kalahari Desert, which covers up to 70% of the country’s land surface, the Okavango Delta, the world’s largest inland delta and the Chobe National Park in the north.
Vast and untamed, a country with thousands of square miles of exquisite wilderness, Botswana offers exceptional game viewing as well as a varied safari experience across its broad and flat expanses of savannah, desert, salt pan and wetland.
The best game viewing in Botswana is to be found within:
The Okavango Delta
Chobe National Park
We highly recommend that a Botswana safari holiday includes a stay at two or more of the camps in the Okavango Delta, combined with Chobe, as they offer such varied experiences.
