From the moment your light aircraft touches down on a dusty airstrip in the heart of the Okavango Delta, Botswana weaves its magic. This landlocked nation, a sun-bleached canvas of southern Africa, holds within it a secret: a sprawling, vibrant wetland that dares to flow inland, bringing life to a parched kingdom.

Our expert advisors uncover the magic of this emerald oasis. Embark on thrilling game drives with private guides in an open-sided Land Cruiser as you jolt through the savannah. Then, as the sun sinks into the horizon, sip sundowners at intimate camps above Chobe’s elephant-dotted floodplains.

Botswana offers safaris like no other, with nearly 40% of the country existing as protected wilderness. Glide silently through Delta waters in a traditional mokoro (canoe) as fish eagles soar overhead, or witness a heart-stopping wild dog hunt in Savuti. Every day offers a front-row seat to nature’s raw, breathtaking drama.
“I seek out exceptional luxury stays in Botswana’s most coveted game reserves for my clients—from ultra-luxe lodges overlooking the Chobe River to tented camps in the Okavango Delta. These unforgettable experiences offer indulgence and incredible wildlife encounters in one of Africa’s most breathtaking and biodiverse wilderness locations.”

“The Okavango Delta is easily one of the world’s most sought-after safari destinations. You’ll be accompanied by a private guide – an expert in both the region and wildlife tracking – who will arrange in-depth game drives, walking safaris, and even mokoro (traditional dugout canoe) excursions that take you deep into the heart of the Delta’s waterways. This is safari at its best!”
