Botswana Safaris - An Overview

Botswana Overview

Botswana is quite probably the top African safari destination; besides some of the best wildlife on the continent, it is politically, economically and infrastructurally sound - and as a result boasts some of the best national parks in the world.

Chobe National Park
is the world's foremost elephant safari destination, and with over 450 species of bird and bountiful other wildlife, it's an ideal African holiday destination.

The scorching Savute is also a fantastic wildlife area and is famous for its zebra migration and beautiful scenery. It also has exceptional lion and other predator sightings.

The remote and hard-to-access Linyanti has prolific amounts of wildlife and an exclusivity that equals the more popular and well known Okavango Delta. And of course Victoria Falls is right on Botswana's doorstep ...

This excellent trip combines three of The Big Ones to visit and is highly recommended by us as one of our choice safaris. Victoria Falls is so well-known and combines very well with the huge elephant herds of Chobe National Park and the big game herds and predators found in the Savuti area. The safari includes flights from Johannesburg to Victoria Falls and returning to Johannesburg at the end of the trip. For anyone looking for a traditional safari with great opportunities for photographs this is the ideal trip.
