Home to arguably one of the most diverse habitat and wildlife populations in Africa, Botswana offers travelers a highly sought-after safari destination. Whether you are looking for small intimate safari camps and lodges, or wanting to experience a guided mobile camping safari, or perhaps hire a kitted 4x4 and self-drive through Botswana’s magical lands, there are options for everyone and all budgets.
From the Chobe River to the dry Kalahari sands of the Makgadikgadi, the wildlife enjoys a fenceless open playground to inhabit with only rivers such as the Chobe, Linyanti, Kwando and Zambezi representing natural country borders. The establishment of the KAZA Transfrontier Park ensures the free movement of wildlife between Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Botswana as demonstrated in the map below.
Combining Botswana with one or more of these Southern African destinations is therefore extremely easy and highly encouraged, with numerous domestic and regional flights as well as a number of convenient land borders available.
