Botswana Travel Guide

The wilderness areas of Botswana offer a classic safari experience.

Wildlife conservation in Botswana has been largely successful. With the exception of a network of 'veterinary fences', parks are not fenced and animals can travel freely. Thus, the country feels wild and open. The desert parks of the Kalahari are vast and quiet, and the harsh red landscape demands a taut awareness. In contrast, the abundance of wildlife in the lush Okavango Delta makes for an extraordinary experience. Elephants move through camp during the day, and lions prowl at night.

The people of Botswana are friendly and hospitable. If you travel to this place, bring with you an easy attitude. Let's keep Botswana a classic safari destination!

The people of Botswana are some of the most friendly and helpful we have ever met on our travels and this coupled withe the amazing landscape filled with amazing game and birds makes Botswana our top safari destination. The care and service provided by Wilderness Safaris in all their camps was first rate and all the rest of our travels will be measured by their dedication and service. We are already planning our return!

"The Place of Plenty"

Botswana is a "trip of a lifetime," but one that I need to repeat, because, the people and the land have gotten under my skin. For the first time, I "get" Africa. Photos and movies can't do it full justice. Its not really sightseeing so much as it's an experience, unlike any that I've ever had before.

Huge variety of habitats from the massive Mgadikadi pan & the Kalahari, to the incredible Chobe reserve and of course the unique Okavavgo Delta.

I was living in Botswana at the time of my trip on the Zambezi Queen, and was lucky to be able to explore all around the country. The people are great and there's a very relaxed pace of life. The wildlife is abundant and the scenery unbeatable.

Truly stunning scenery and wildlife.
In general less rampantly touristy than places like Masai Mara in Kenya however as such overall more expensive for the prime wildlife areas.

Friendly people, very adventurous destination, wildlife everywhere

Botswanas parks are close to the nature. The accomodation has a very good standard. The service excelent.

The goverment of Botswana seem to have aimed to have low volume tourism (at a slightly higher cost) which means you see more wildlife that seems less stressed with fewer tourists. Surely the perfect approach!
