Botswana Luxury Tours Ideas

Experience Your Best Safari in Botswana

Botswana is one of Southern Africa's premier wildlife destinations. An unusual mix of desert and the world's largest inland delta, the country is sparsely populated by humans yet packed with a dazzling array and a number of wildlife species! 

Known for its luxury Big 5 safaris in truly wild and wonderful landscapes, some of the big highlights of our Botswana tours include the 

• Okavango Delta, 
• Kalahari Desert, 
• Makgadikgadi and Nxai Pans, 
• Chobe National Park, 
• Linyanti, 
• Savuti, and 
• Tuli Block, to name just a few. 

What Makes Botswana a Luxury Destination?

Botswana is a luxury safari destination for many reasons. It's an untouched paradise unique in many ways. From the Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its baffling biodiversity, to the fascinating wildlife and hundreds of bird species making this their home, it's safari heaven. 

Furthermore, because of its remoteness, guests often have to travel by boat or air to reach the lodges. This exclusivity makes it a super luxurious experience. As a result, on our luxury Botswana tours, you're privy to some of Africa's greatest treasures and get to explore them in plenty of different ways. 

From quad biking or horse riding through the seemingly never-ending salt pans to gliding along the Okavango Delta on a mokoro (a traditional dug-out canoe) or taking on the bush with your own two feet on a walking safari, adventure awaits around every corner.

What You Need to Know About Luxury Tours in Botswana

It’s Very Remote

Because Botswana is so remote and sparsely populated, you get front-row access to the wildlife on your luxury Botswana tours. You'll also often enjoy the convenience of a fly-in safari, taking you straight to your luxury lodge. Goodbye, dusty, bumpy 4x4 rides to get to your lodge! Hello, sipping on bubbly and starting your safari early from the sky. 

There’s a reason Botswana is often referred to as “the wild heart of Africa”. Its remoteness and unspoilt wilderness will humble you by its vastness, from the glittering salt pans, Kalahari Desert, and watery web of the Okavango Delta. And, as you can only imagine, being so far away from the city lights means stargazing is out of this world (pun intended!). 

Furthermore, the country’s unique low-impact tourism model also ensures no big crowds, sustainable practices, and only highly exclusive experiences are on offer. 

Variety of Wildlife

Botswana is a Big 5 safari destination, so all our luxury Botswana tours feature plenty of exciting wildlife sightings. Home to the world's largest elephant population, Botswana is also well-known for its many big cats like lions, leopards and cheetahs. You can expect to see all the usual suspects like giraffes, antelopes, zebras, hippos, and more. However, some rare and endangered species, like the African wild dog, also find refuge here. 

Furthermore, some species have also remarkably adapted to the harsh climate in the Kalahari Desert, such as the oryx, Kalahari lion, gemsbok and more. The bird life in Botswana is also incredible, with hundreds of species flitting throughout the country. The flamingos that meet in the thousands on the Makgadikgadi Pans are also a sight to behold.

Our Botswana Safari Tours FAQs

What Destinations Should I Include in My Botswana Itinerary?

The best Botswana tours will depend on when you’re visiting and what you’d like to see and do.

Botswana is in Southern Africa and therefore pairs beautifully with destinations like Kruger National Park and Cape Town in South Africa, Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe or Zambia and Namibia. Want to add a beach getaway to your Botswana tour? We recommend sunny Seychelles! 

However, there are many more wonderful stops we can recommend based on your specific needs and interests. 

When is the Best Time to Plan a Botswana Safari Tour?

Botswana is a great destination year-round. However, some months are considered best for safaris, in particular the dry season from June to October when the Okavango Delta is in full flood. 

However, each season has its own allure and shoulder seasons are great if you’re looking for more availability and affordability. Our Travel Experts will help you decide when is the best time to travel to Botswana or what you want to see and do.

What Does a Botswana Safari Cost?

All our Botswana safari packages are tailor-made, so it will depend on several factors. It's a very remote and exclusive destination. Therefore, you can expect to pay a little bit more than your safari in Kruger National Park, for example. 

However, as a rough guide, a luxury Botswana safari tour can cost anything from $400 to $3,995 per person per night, depending on service providers, availability and seasonality. 

How Long Should the Ideal Safari Tour in Botswana be?

You’ll never want to leave beautiful Botswana! However, we recommend you spend a minimum of ten days in Botswana to take advantage of everything the country has to offer. 

What Activities Can I Do on a Botswana Luxury Safari Tour?

When it comes to safaris in Botswana, our favourite activity other than your usual twice-daily game drives has to be a mokoro safari. A mokoro is a traditional dug-out canoe reminiscent of the gondolas in Venice and the most immersive way to experience Botswana's natural wonders.

If you want to enjoy breakfast while on safari, opt for a river cruise. There are also many bird-watching and photography excursion opportunities, as well as exciting bush walks. Get a different perspective by heading to the skies for a bird's-eye view from a helicopter to give you a good idea of Botswana's scope.

These are just the tip of the iceberg, however, and your luxury lodge will likely offer something special like bush breakfasts, alfresco spa treatments, and many other activities too.

Who Will Enjoy a Botswana Luxury Safari Tour?

The good news is that anyone will appreciate Botswana's bounty. However, please note that not all camps and lodges will allow children. But you definitely can still enjoy a family-friendly Botswana experience, and our Travel Experts will guide you accordingly. 

As a destination, Botswana is perfect for couples on honeymoon or a romantic getaway. It’s also great for groups travelling together who want to book out lodges for exclusive use.
