Botswana Tours

When it comes to setting out on a spectacular safari in Africa, Botswana tours sit right up there at the top of the list. In fact, this southern African country could be one of the more fascinating places to go to view elephants, exotic cats, giraffes, hippos, and more. On Botswana tours you will travel to the Okavango Delta for the ultimate animal kingdom experience, as this is where animals rule the land, and humans are just mere spectators. But the adventures don't end there. Avid explorers will appreciate the variety of landscapes staggered throughout the Kalahari Desert. Botswana tours can take "rugged" to the next level, as you can find a vast collection of campsites scattered throughout the country.

Discover this relatively unspoiled nation on a guided Botswana tour! Just choose your activity of choice, whether that be wildlife viewing, a scenic outdoor adventure, a cultural experience, or a blend of all, and you'll find yourself planning a return trip to Botswana on your flight home. It’s hard to beat spending the night gazing out at a brilliant sheet of stars while exotic wildlife roar in the distance, so book one of the incredible Botswana tours below for the ultimate African wildlife adventure.

When is the Best Time to Visit Botswana?

The best time to visit Botswana is undoubtedly during the months of May to October, which makes up the dry season. During this period of dry winter weather - and particularly in the months of June-August - the Okavango Delta swells immensely, creating a network of channels that draw wildlife from the surrounding regions. The high density of animals is one of the greatest wildlife spectacles in Africa and is truly a sight to behold, making May to October the best time to visit Botswana.

Botswana Tour Highlights

Okavango Delta

The Okavango Delta is a large inland delta that drains the summer floodwaters from the Angola Highlands. During peak flood season the waters of the delta swell to 3 times their regular volume and draw vast numbers of wildlife to the region, including a vast array of large mammals and endangered species. The Okavango Delta was listed as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa, and is a fantastic destination to explore on Botswana tours.

Chobe National Park

Although created earlier in 1960 as the Chobe Game Reserve, Chobe National Park was officially declared in 1967 and was the first national park in Botswana. In addition to being the oldest, Chobe National Park is also the most biologically diverse, being divided into four distinct ecosystems: the hinterland, the Linyanti Marsh, the Savuti Marsh, and the Serondela. The park is home to a wide variety of wildlife species, including a large population of roughly 50,000 elephants.
