A must destination for anyone interested in a safari destination
When the first question your guide asks is 'what would you like for sundowner drinks?' and the second is 'what do you want to see?' - you know that the service level will be high. Kwara and Lebala luxury camps delivered on exceptional service and fantastic food with a smile. 5 days of action packed morning and afternoon safaris with lots of wildlife. Light planes between camps meant little downtime. Botswana was the first of our 3 safari destinations and it ranks 1 for all of the above. I can only highly recommend as a holiday destination.

Botswana is one of the most incredible places to visit, amazing safari parks and a general high standard of service and accommodation. My favourite place out of the 4 countries I visited (South Africa/Namibia/Zimbabwe).

Botswana is magic because of the number of animals and not numerous tourists!
Well Chobe offers many animals, Okowango delta offers different new animals and bush vibes and the south is amazing landscapes, baobabs and the guides where without exception all wonderful - very competent and so kind - a truly wonderful experience - Africa we will be back some day!!

Chobe National Park was the the quintessential Safari Park...saw all animals up close and personal!
We camped in the park for 2 nights and 3 full days....very rustic but amazing. We had elephants walk right past our tents and there was a wart hog in our camp one morning. The most amazing sight was two massive lionesses chasing down a cape buffalo and taking him down while a pride of 15 lions waited for the kill and then came in for the feast! Our guide was fabulous.

Botswana seems to really understand conservation through eco-tourism. Our guides helped us understand and uphold the ethos, "take only photographs, leave only footprints," which enhanced not diminished our experience. I'd love to return.

We saw many animals on our game drive in Chobe National Park on our first evening. The sunset over the Chobe River is fantastic and so is the herds of elephants crossing the Chobe River.

I visited the Delta and Chobe; both a great destinations. For my experience Chobe was much better for wildlife but the bush vibe was extraordinary in the delta. Both parks offer very beautiful scenery and are excellent fit bird watching.

Botswana would never be described as a green country. There are great expanses of land that are simply a desert. But it's very beautiful in its bareness and so rich of wonderful wildlife. Keep your eyes out for animals as you drive along. There's a great chance you'll see an elephant or a giraffe just hanging out along the side of the road.
Also while you'll meet other tourists, most of the time you'll feel like there are no other tourist but you and the people travelling with you.
