Botswana
Botswana is widely regarded as Africa's finest safari destination, combining exceptional wildlife, vast wilderness areas and a commitment to high quality low impact tourism that sets it apart. The Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park and the Kalahari Desert offer some of the most remarkable wildlife encounters available anywhere on Earth.
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.
