Attractions in Botswana

Botswana is a dreamscape for lovers of nature and wide open spaces. Although the country is large, the northern parts of the country is where all the magic unfolds. Chobe National Park teems with animals and spans four different ecosystems. The park is home to around 120,000 elephants and giant herds of giraffe, wildebeest, and buffalo. If you prefer beautiful landscapes, Nxai Pan National Park is an unreal tapestry of sand dunes, luminous salt pans, and enormous baobab trees. For the daring travellers, the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is not easy to get to, but worth the effort. Stretching for 38,000 square kilometres, the park is home to the most iconic animals in Africa, including the famed Big 5.

Our expert preferred spot in Botswana

A mokoro safari is the only way to see the Okavango Delta. Gliding through the floodplains and channels of the famous delta in the trunk of a tree, you will encounter elephants and feel get lost in the serene movement of the water and musical call of nature. This is a unique experience that should be at the top of your list of things to do in Botswana. Once you’ve seen it from the waterways, witness the wonder of Botswana from the sky. A helicopter ride over the delta and great plains of Botswana is a view unlike anything you have ever seen before. You will see the wild landscapes come alive spectacularly as elephants tramp across the land, lions stalk prey, and zebra dash across the savannah.
