Showcasing the very best of Botswana
Botswana Tours 2022
A bit confused as to where to go and what to do?
With over 100 lodges on offer and 8 distinct wildlife regions to choose from, we thought we would try and take out some of the drudgery in choosing where to go. We have designed 3 levels of lodge safaris to suit all budgets, which we think will help create some great ideas for you.
These individual tours are all based on our own experiences of Botswana and its wildlife. Each is designed to showcase different regions and concentrates on wildlife activities. All lodge meals, activities and internal transport are included in all the tours unless otherwise stated.
Each is fully flexible and can be shortened or lengthened depending on your requirements. It is also possible to add on any extra areas as you wish; particularly we recommend a visit to Victoria Falls either in Zambia or Zimbabwe. All our tours are named after trees and shrubs that occur in Botswana. All tours are subject to availability.
Aside from our lodge tours, a full list of our Mobile Tented Safaris can be found here..
Don’t forget that after your Botswana Safari we can easily transport you over the border to either Zimbabwe or Zambia for a visit to Vic Falls. We have hand picked the best accommodation for you with indicative prices for a 2 night stay visiting the Falls.. Click on the link below for options.
