EASY BREEZY BOTSWANA

Once a lesser-known gem, Botswana has become an increasingly sought-after safari destination. It’s especially popular among the rich and famous, with notable visitors including Michelle Obama, the Clintons, and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. And it’s not hard to see the appeal. Botswana safari holidays serve up eye-popping landscapes – from sprawling desert to lush grasslands – and endless wildlife, including a number of endangered species. So, if you’re looking for an unforgettable African adventure, a trip to Botswana might just tick all your boxes.

More than 70 per cent of Botswana is covered by the Kalahari Desert – but this country is by no means monotonous. On the contrary, Botswana is famous for its conservation efforts and wilderness protection, with many of its national parks providing a safe haven for threatened animals. On a Botswana safari, you’ll have the opportunity to see cheetahs, lions and elephants, as well as rare species like brown hyenas and Cape vultures.

Chobe National Park is the most popular wildlife-watching spot in Botswana. You’ll have a high chance of seeing the ‘Big Five’ here, especially if you go on game drives at dawn and dusk, when it’s cooler. Alternatively, you could go on safari in Central Kalahari Game Reserve. It’s the biggest reserve in the country, featuring leopards, giraffes, ostrich and more. Whichever park you choose, your Botswana safari lodge will have all the comforts of home – so you can relax at the end of each action-packed day.

The Okavango Delta is another must-see on your Botswana holiday. This rich wetland is the world’s largest intact delta, covering more than 6,000 square miles. Surrounded by desert, the Okavango is an essential oasis for grazing zebra, antelope and wildebeest. Crystal-clear waterways weave through feathery papyrus, while crocodiles lie in the sun and hippos wade through the river. It’s a breathtaking place, and one which is truly unique to Botswana.
