Elect's take

"Botswana represents safari travel at its very best. The combination of exceptional wildlife, vast spaces and outstanding camps creates an experience that genuinely deserves its reputation as Africa's premier destination."

What distinguishes Botswana is the quality and exclusivity of the safari experience. The government's policy of high value low volume tourism has preserved the wilderness in extraordinary condition. The Okavango Delta is one of the world's most remarkable natural phenomena. Game drives here can feel genuinely remote in a way that is increasingly rare in more visited safari destinations. Chobe has one of the highest concentrations of elephants in Africa. Botswana's luxury camps are among the finest in Africa, designed to immerse guests in the wilderness while delivering outstanding comfort.
