Safari Parks in Botswana

Botswana focuses on high-quality safaris, as opposed to mass-market safaris on offer in other destinations. Because of this, Botswana's safari parks are well respected as some of the finest in Africa.

Botswana's northern and central reserves and parks offer distinctly different experiences. Its top parks in the north include the Okavango Delta, the Linyanti, Chobe, and Moremi, while in the center of the country, there is the Makgadikgadi Pan and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. For desert landscapes, we suggest heading to the center to meet the local communities of meerkats and bushmen.

Alternatively, the majority of travelers prefer the water-focused safaris of the north with a few nights in Chobe and the Okavango Delta, where game drives and river cruises hug the waterways to encounter the Big Five wildlife.
