Planning a Luxury Safari in Botswana

Luxury Safari Accommodation

One of the first things you will need to book for your luxury safari is the accommodation. Botswana is famed for its luxurious camps and lodges and it can be difficult to choose where and which one you want to stay in for your trip. The type of accommodation you choose will depend on who you are travelling with; if it's a large family, you may want to be under the same roof, if you're a couple, you may prefer something more intimate and private. Your tour operator will be able to advise you upon the best accommodation for your party. The appeal of a Botswana safari is not just the excellent game viewing, but how the camps and lodges ooze with luxury and style. In the heart of the bush you can experience a top service, exquisite food, and superior decor, and that's even before you've stepped outside onto your verandah to witness the breathtaking views. Along with your luxury safari accommodation, you'll also get your own expert guide who will look after you, take you out into the best safari regions, and will accompany you on exciting activities such as game drives, walking trails and canoeing safaris.

Botswana's Elephants

With just a small population of people, Botswana is an animal kingdom, and one of the animals most travelers are longing to see is the elephant. Botswana is filled with these beautiful giants, in fact, in northern Botswana there are over 100,000 elephants. If you wish to see an abundance of elephant, one of the best times to take a luxury safari is during the dry season, August to December. This is when they gather in herds by the Chobe and Linyati rivers to drink hundreds of gallons of water - a truly fascinating safari experience. Many people choose to take an elephant back safari whilst they are in Botswana. This allows guests to get up close and personal to these wonderful creatures, watching them play, feeding them and washing them, before jumping on the back of one! On the back of an elephant you'll get to see all the wilderness form an elephant's perspective and the game viewing up here is superb.

A Luxury Safari in the Okavango Delta

A luxury safari in Botswana isn't complete without a visit to the Okavango Delta. The world's largest inland Delta is a unique part of Africa and here you can take part in a truly magnificent experience, a mekoro canoe safari. In a dugout canoe, you and your party will be poled down the channels, past shimmering lagoons, and wildlife rich grasslands. This allows you to see all of the buffalo, antelope, giraffe and elephant from a whole new perspective. There is also plenty of bird species here, over 400 in total. The Okavango boasts one of the most spectacularly beautiful and serene landscapes in Africa, a must for any safari enthusiast.
