Overview Tour Itinerary Enquire Now

This itinerary covers the best of what Botswana has to offer. Chobe National Park and the Okavango Delta provides for the most exhilarating wildlife experiences. Amazing wildlife, which also includes many aquatic species, is very unique compared to other African parks. Central Kalahari National Park is an arid desert thriving with wildlife.

Chobe National Park is located at the north-western part of Botswana, with Chobe River forming the park’s northern border. The park has a varied landscape with floodplains, swamps and woodland. The most accessible and frequently visited of Botswana’s national parks, Chobe riverfront is famous for its large herds of African Elephants and Cape buffalo. They converge upon the river during the dry season. Another unique feature of the park is the river cruise, the best way to experience wildlife up close.

Okavango Delta is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the world, Okavango Delta is a huge inland delta formed when the Okavango River reaches a tectonic trough in the Kalahari. It is an oasis in the middle of the Kalahari Desert. Also a World Heritage Site, it is a vast area of virtually untouched freshwater wetland. The delta supports an abundance of wildlife within a setting of dazzling natural beauty. Odd climatic conditions and lush environment makes the Okavango delta a fantastic safari destination.

Central Kalahari Game Reserve is the second largest game reserve, most of which is quite remote and inaccessible. Not many visitors visit this huge reserve; it gives you an impression of unending space, like having the whole reserve to yourself. The Bushmen, or San, have inhabited the lands for thousands of years since they roamed the area as nomadic hunters. The reserve makes up to be one of the best places for wildlife viewing.
