Botswana Destination guide

As the world leader in travel experiences since 1947, we connect you to the real Botswana in a way like no other.

There’s nowhere on earth like Botswana. From the flooded spectacle of the Okavango Delta to the blazing red dunes of the Kalahari Desert, this southern African country is truly extraordinary. Our Botswana tours take you deep into this safari paradise, hailed as one of the world’s last great protected wilderness areas. We’ll show you all the best things to do in Botswana, from witnessing the world’s biggest herds of elephants in Chobe National Park, to cruising the lush rivers where all kinds of animals gather - including the Big Five. It’s hard to take your eyes off these once-in-a-lifetime scenes, but Botswana also has incredible cultures to explore, like the ancient San people in the Kalahari and the Bayei people famed for their mokoro canoes. From the freely roaming wildlife to the ancient indigenous wisdom and stunning natural landscapes, Botswana is where you go to reconnect with the earth.
