Botswana is one of Africa's most stable, affluent and democratic countries, offering vast swathes of savannah, the arid sands of the Kalahari desert and the wetlands of the Okavango Delta.
Landlocked in southern Africa Botswana is a huge land the size of France, offering exceptional wildlife safaris based from luxury camps with all the trimmings. Low price tours these are not! Botswana is generally one of Africa's most expensive wildlife destinations, but with the cost comes efficiency, safety, extreme comfort and the delivery of sensational animal and bird sightings.
Two of the most popular and varied wildlife safari locations are Chobe National Park and the massive Okavango Delta [including Moremi Wildlife Reserve] up north, where water meets desert.
Botswana's wet months are from November to March, while the dry and better months run from May to August.

Intrepid offer many African experiences - including Botswana - ranging from basic and overland truck expeditions to active, challenging, family and 'comfort' vacations. |
Delta and Chobe Waterways [mostly Botswana]:
A 10 day tour starting from South Africa's Johannesburg but mainly touring Botswana's Victoria Falls, the Okavango Delta and the Khama Rhino Sanctuary.
Ultimate African Adventure:
46 days in an overland truck from Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Malawi, Zambia, Botswana to South Africa.
Travelling through the Great Rift Valley and all the way down to Johannesburg, this trip covers all the highlights of Africa: safari and the Big Five, spectacular scenery, an exotic Spice Island and ample opportunities to meet the locals. Give the Soft Power school a hand and help African kids learn to read, go trekking in Uganda to uncover mountain gorillas and enjoy game drives in the Masai Mara, the Serengeti and Kruger Park. There's also plenty of time in between the action to simply sit back and soak up the sun on a sandy beach in Malawi or Zanzibar.
