Botswana is a beautiful country. From the vast Okavango Delta to the wilderness of the Tuli Block and the beauty of the Moremi Game Reserve, we visit some incredible places on safari in Botswana. Thriving with wildlife and stunning safari camps, our private guides will take you on a journey of discovery with experiences that will last a lifetime. Permanent rivers and rambling flood plains make it a birdwatcher paradise too.
Let’s dive into this incredible place and find out about everything Botswana has to offer – is a Botswana African Safari the best experience there is?
Best Botswana Safari
The camps and lodges we visit while on safari in Botswana will provide spiritual and luxury elegance. During the day you’ll head out into the wild to reconnect with nature led by experienced private safari guides Graham Cooke and Steve Mortimer who have over 75 combined years of experience tracking and looking for animals. We’re incredibly lucky to have Graham on our team, one of the best private safari guides in the industry. His story of hand rearing two leopard cubs and releasing them into the wild is told in the now popular book – “my life with leopards”.
On safari with us in Botswana you’ll have exclusive access to Graham and his in depth knowledge of the bush, observing first-hand his passion for anything wild and natural.
We recommend that guests allow a minimum of three days to truly explore this magnificent land that’s also home to some of the best safari lodges in Botswana.
Some Botswana safari highlights include:
Chobe national Park Botswana
The Chobe National Park, Botswana’s third largest park is an elephant lover’s paradise. Home to huge numbers of this magnificent mammal and incredible birdlife, experiencing a Botswana safari in Chobe is a must. The best time of year to visit Chobe is between May and November -the dry season is in full swing and game viewing is spectacular. We recommend spending at least two days in this fantastic area and its vicinity to Victoria Falls makes it a perfect addition to a varied safari trip.
Okavango Delta Botswana
A birdwatcher’s paradise, Botswana’s Okavango Delta is a year-round safari destination that will take your breath away. The Okavango Delta is a sprawling expanse of grassy plains that flood between June and October when the rain stops. It’s during this period that animals from far and wide flock to the Delta creating a perfect viewing theatre.
Namibia and Botswana tours
Namibia sits to the west of Botswana and offers a different experience to landlocked Botswana. We can combine Namibia and Botswana Safari tours to create a truly unforgettable safari experience. Find out more about Namibia and its incredible coastline.
Botswana and Victoria Falls Tours
It’s also very easy to visit the magnificent Victoria Falls from Botswana. Leaving Botswana in the North East we can access the falls and everything this beautiful area on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia has to offer. We often combine visits to the Falls with a Tiger Fishing experience on the Zambezi River. There are a number of activities on the river that make a family-safari trip more memorable such as white-water rafting, abseiling the gorge or a river cruise.
Botswana Luxury Safari
If you’re considering Botswana for a family safari a luxury safari lodge is a great way to go. Often, you’ll have sole use of the whole lodge so privacy and exclusivity are top of your lift for a family safari holiday, Wild Insights can make it happen.
We deal with every detail of your safari trip, so all you have to do is contact us, tell us what sort of safari experience you’d like, the wildlife you dream of seeing and which countries you’d like to visit – then sit back and relax as we organise the rest.
Camping safari Botswana
Camping safaris in Botswana are popular with guests. It’s a unique experience to fall asleep to the sounds of the bush, wake up to a chorus of birdsong and relax outside your bush camp while watching the local wildlife walk by. You’ll arrive at hand-selected bush camps or safari glamping destinations by nightfall for a night under canvas. If you’d like, all our safaris can include a mix of safari styles, you can embrace your adventurous side before relaxing in material and spiritual luxury in a private safari lodge.
Botswana self drive safari

Where rough, winding roads, tent boxes, starry skies and dealing with the unexpected lead to unforgettable experiences.
