Where to Go in Botswana

Okavango Delta

A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa’s most iconic landscapes, the Okavango Delta is a lush, seasonally flooded oasis teeming with life. Explore by traditional mokoro, boat, or 4×4 and discover hippos in winding channels, elephants wading through palm islands, and predators stalking the floodplains. Peaceful, pristine, and profoundly wild, the Delta is the heart of the Botswana safari experience.

Moremi Game Reserve

This protected corner of the Okavango Delta offers a rich tapestry of ecosystems—woodlands, lagoons, floodplains, and forests. It’s known for exceptional wildlife, including wild dogs, leopards, and large herds of elephants. Game drives and water safaris here reveal one of Africa’s most diverse and rewarding wildlife regions.

Mombo Concession

One of the most exclusive and wildlife-rich areas in Botswana, the Mombo Concession is located within Moremi on Chief’s Island. Often called “The Place of Plenty,” it’s renowned for high densities of predators and plains game. This is where luxury meets legendary game viewing—an ideal choice for seasoned safari-goers.

Chobe and Savuti

Known for its dense elephant population, Chobe is a dynamic region offering river cruises, game drives, and incredible photography opportunities. The Chobe Riverfront is alive with wildlife, while inland areas like Nogatsaa and Savuti offer a wilder, more rugged experience.

Linyanti Wildlife Reserve

An exclusive, private concession bordering Chobe, Linyanti is ideal for luxury safaris in peaceful, remote surroundings. Elephant herds, wild dogs, lions, and buffalo are all commonly seen, especially during the dry season. With fewervehicles and top guiding, it’s perfect for intimate and unhurried wildlife experiences.

Mababe Concession

Nestled between Moremi and Chobe, Mababe is one of Botswana’s best-kept secrets. This private concession offers a diverse mix of habitats and excellent predator sightings, including wild dogs and lions. It combines the wildlife density of Moremi with the exclusivity of a private reserve, making it ideal for travelers seeking luxury without the crowds.

Makgadikgadi Salt Pans

Vast, glittering, and surreal—the Makgadikgadi Pans offer one of Africa’s most otherworldly landscapes. From quad biking across ancient lakebeds to walking with San Bushmen and meeting habituated meerkats, the experiences here are truly unique. During the green season, the pans come alive with birds and migrating zebra.

Central Kalahari Game Reserve

Africa’s second-largest game reserve, the CKGR is remote, vast, and deeply soulful. Home to desert-adapted wildlife, including oryx, brown hyena, and black-maned Kalahari lions, it offers a very different kind of safari—one that’s slower, more introspective, and deeply connected to the rhythms of the land. Ideal for adventurous travelers seeking solitude and raw beauty
