Botswana Travel Specialists

We are a UK-based tour operator with specialist knowledge in destinations across the world, including Botswana. A safari is one of the most awesome human experiences and preparation is crucial. Safaris come in all shapes and sizes, from self-drive tours to wilderness camping, and our Botswana travel experts can create an in-depth travel itinerary that ticks all your travel boxes, so you can be confident nothing is left to chance. When it comes to seeing wildlife first-hand, there’s nowhere quite like Botswana. This land-locked country offers some of the best opportunities to get up close and
personal with Africa’s wildest animals than anywhere else. Famed for the Okavango Delta, a vast wetland in the Kalahari Desert and one of the most remarkable animal habitats on the planet, it’s a place where wildlife reigns supreme. The sheer number of species that roam the land is astounding and the opportunity for a second to none safari experience is unmatched. Its vast plains lie at the heart of Botswana’s safari experience, but it’s just one of many exceptional places to get close to nature here. Huge herds of game roam freely from many national parks and private game reserves and deciding between them all can be overwhelming, but that’s where our specialists come in – we work with the best accommodation providers in the country, from simple no-frills camps to five-star luxury lodges, so we can advise you where to stay and when based on the time of year and requirements of your party. We will work with you to create a holiday that encapsulates everything you’re looking for. After all, a safari is truly one of the best trips you can take in life – let us help you get it exactly right.

Botswana Specialist

When did you first visit Botswana and what was your first impression?
My first two visits to Botswana were as a child and were to visit friends who lived in Gaborone, which was just a hop across the border from South Africa, where I’m from. My first taste of a Botswana safari was 20 years ago. We visited the busier eastern side of the Chobe, but it left a mark and I couldn’t wait to head back to the more remote areas. Since that trip in 2002 I have done three further trips to the country and have visited most of the camps in the Okavango, Linyanti and Savuti.

Why do you love Botswana so much?
The wildlife viewing is incredible and there are very few camps – resulting in a very pure, authentic safari experience. You can drive for hours and not see another vehicle. Top of the list for most people is the Okavango Delta, but there is so much more to the country than the Delta. Other areas such as the Linyanti/Savuti, Central Kalahari and the more remote, western areas of the Chobe offer equally exciting wildlife opportunities.
