Botswana is known as the place of elephants. Blessed with some of the greatest wildlife spectacles on earth, Botswana is the sort of place where your average safari feels like stepping into a documentary by National Geographic. Exceptional wildlife, stunning landscapes and home to the San Tribe, one of the most intriguing people in this world and Southern Africa’s earliest inhabitants, it is an extraordinary place and a photographer’s paradise. Botswana is not the cheapest safari destination. Its wildlife conservation strategy has always been based on attracting the high-rolling, low-impact end of the tourist trade – hence the accent on private reserves and top-dollar camps. It is the leader in low-impact, upmarket tourism. This eco-friendly approach promotes a true wilderness experience in this unspoiled country. However there are more budget friendly options available as well.
The Okavango Delta is a magnificent and untouched freshwater wetland that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Botswana. It is home to numerous wildlife species such as elephants, lions, hippos, and antelopes. You can go on an Okavango Delta safari, which includes guided game drives, bush walks, and mokoro (canoe) and boat trips. The best time to visit is during the dry season when the water is at its highest. The floods that occur are not dangerous and benefit the wildlife. A unique experience to try is riding a mokoro, gliding through a pristine wilderness of reed beds and water lilies while surrounded by fascinating creatures.

The largest game reserve in Southern Africa, the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, offers a chance to escape crowds of safari vehicles and disappear into the Kalahari's vast ancient river valleys and see black-maned lions. Originally established to serve as a sanctuary for the San people, the reserve remained closed to the outside public for about 30 years. While more accessible now, only a handful of visitors come here each year. The reserve's ecosystems, wildlife, and landscapes differ significantly from the Okavango regions, with more prolific species such as brown hyenas, aardwolves, oryx, bat-eared foxes, and ostriches. A guided safari or guided self-drive safari is highly recommended due to the region's remoteness and the need for planning and knowledge. A sense of adventure is also essential to fully enjoy the complete isolation and total self-reliance that makes this trip unforgettable.
