Welcome to Botswana

'Welcome to the very best part of Africa - Botswana, a country known for peace, tranquillity, abundant wildlife, wide open spaces, magnificent waterways and diamonds. Come and explore the birds wildlife and nature, the diverse cultures of its people and massive landscapes at their best.
Botswana is a place where one wishes time could stand still and sometimes it really does.....'

Botswana with its vast expanses of pristine, untamed bush-veld, overflowing with wildlife, is without doubt one of Africa's ultimate safari destinations. The Okavango Delta (& Moremi Wildlife Reserve) and Chobe National Park are the two not to be missed destinations. Other destinations in Botswana worth visiting are the desert environments of the Makgadikgadi Pans, Nxai Pans and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve where at every turn a photographic opportunity raises its head.
A Botswana safari holiday will give you access to some of the world's greatest wildlife destinations: the incomparable Okavango Delta, a great green oasis in the heart of the Kalahari and the Chobe National Park, where the ground rumbles beneath the feet of thousands of elephants. There's a wide choice of Botswana safari holiday accommodation to match your wildlife experience but availability is often limited so you need to book in advance.
