BOTSWANA
Africa's most exclusive safari destination
As close to safari perfection as you can get. Home to the world’s greatest inland delta, Botswana protects one of the last great wildlife wildernesses on earth. The Okavango Delta offers a mix of private reserves and top-class lodges. Boasting some of the highest concentrations of game in Africa, low visitor numbers, and luxury, eco-sensitive camps, a Botswana safari offers a truly authentic, exclusive experience.
