Luxury Botswana Safaris

Create your perfect luxury safari holiday.

The epitome of the luxury safari with unrivalled wildlife viewing. Stunning safari lodges in remarkable, remote and pristine wilderness all this combines for the ultimate safari experience.

Botswana is Africa’s standout destination for high-end safaris. Thanks to a “high yield, low impact” tourism policy, the country is home to some of the continent’s most luxurious safari camps, set in vast private concessions rich in wildlife.

The Okavango Delta is the crown jewel: a seasonal wetland where water-based safaris reveal hippos, elephants and birdlife from traditional mokoro canoes. The Moremi Game Reserve, within the Delta, offers classic big game viewing and is known for its predator populations. Chobe National Park, especially its riverfront, is famed for huge elephant herds and is easily combined with Victoria Falls. To the south, the Makgadikgadi Pans offer a dramatic contrast – vast salt flats, quad biking adventures, and close-up meerkat encounters. The Kalahari provides desert landscapes, San Bushman walks, and outstanding wildlife in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, especially during the green season.

Most luxury camps in Botswana enjoy exclusive access to private land, meaning fewer vehicles, more freedom, and extraordinary privacy. Suites are beautifully spaced out and come with high-spec interiors, top-quality linens, private decks and, often, plunge pools. Thoughtful design, exceptional food and wine, and peaceful communal spaces make these camps feel more like boutique retreats than safari lodges. Guests experience luxury at every touchpoint, from service to scenery.

Botswana also pairs effortlessly with nearby highlights. Victoria Falls is easily reached from Chobe, while Cape Town and Johannesburg are well-connected by air. Luxury safaris in Botswana are in the details, from intuitive service and expert guiding to perfectly chilled sundowners at the end of each day, every element of your safari is seamlessly planned. Whether it’s private charter flights, exclusive-use villas, or in-suite spa treatments overlooking the floodplains, Botswana delivers a rare combination of wild remoteness and refined comfort that makes it one of the most indulgent safari destinations on earth.

Botswana Trip Inspiration

Ruth Tanzania

Our Botswana specialist, Ruth, says:

“Our luxury safaris in Botswana are about far more than beautiful lodges – though those are exceptional too. What makes them truly special is the combination of exclusive locations, expert guiding, and the sheer abundance of wildlife. Whether it’s watching elephants cross the Chobe River at sunset, gliding silently through the Okavango Delta on a mokoro, or flying into private concessions where you’ll see hardly another vehicle, the experience feels both intimate and unforgettable.”

What can I say….my son and myself had the most wonderful time in Kenya thanks to the first-class itinerary that Ben and Louise put together for us. We spoke with Ben many times to ensure he ‘got it right’. This was our 2nd visit to Kenya, and it certainly lived up to our expectations and memories. We stayed in four locations, firstly at the wonderful El Karama Lodge, Laikipia Wildlife Conservancy, where we even had a visit from Ruth from Far and Wild! Then, for a return visit, to Saruni Samburu, which is absolutely stunning and still one of our favourite places in the world. Next came Basecamp Mara Camp, where we saw our first Cheetah, the only animal we didn’t see on our first visit. After that, onto the wonderful Leopards Hill in the Naiboisho Conservancy, what a way to spend the last four days of this trip. Here we finally spent many hours with a beautiful leopard. Throughout our time in Kenya, we saw many lions, giraffes, elephants, ostriches, hyenas, cheetahs, and leopards, to name just a few. Nothing was too much trouble for all the staff; we cannot have been looked after any better. Since our return again Ben phoned to see how it went in addition to emails. I would highly recommend Far and Wild; they are so knowledgeable and have personally visited the lodges and areas. We are already planning another visit, and we cannot wait.

I have just returned from the most amazing trip to Tanzania, booked with Far & Wild. Everything went so smoothly from the first time I spoke with them. The planning was great, the itinerary was perfect for us, and the lodges were amazing. We spent 10 nights with an amazing guide, travelling through Northern Tanzania and even got to see the migration, which was a lifetime ambition of mine. This wasn't our first safari, so we were nervous as to how it would compare, but it was spot on. We're particularly grateful that she suggested a private 'bush lunch' in the Ngorongoro Crater as the public picnic spot was very busy! I will certainly be using them again to book our next trip....we're thinking of a relaxing beach stay next time to get over the excitement of safari!

Just back from another amazing F&W organised trip to Namibia with the family (8 adults). Having been there before, Alistair tailored our trip to include our favourite locations and added a new one for us, Okonjima Plains camp, which we loved.The quality of accommodation and guiding, activities, food and drinks was exceptional throughout. Although not inexpensive I felt it was good value for the level of luxury we had. Kwessi Dunes, Shipwreck lodge, Ongava, Okonjima with pit stops Windhoek (city tour recommended ), Swakopmund (Sandwich Harbour and Walvis Bay tour) and Grootberg lodge (best sundowner drive )

We had a wonderful trip to São Tomé and Príncipe - a small island nation in the Gulf of Guinea with paradise (almost empty) beaches and jungle forest. It was all well organised by Far and Wild and we stayed at Omali lodge at Sao Tome, then on Roca Sundy, and Sunday Praia at Principe - a great combination of different types of resorts/hotels. Omali is close to Sao Tome town with its colonial buildings, markets, hustle and bustle. Roca Sunday gives an old plantation experience and Sundy Praia a luxury beach experience. Very friendly (from time to time a bit slow) service, great fresh food, specifically if you like fish/seafood, vegetables and fruits (almost all sourced locally). Nice temperature between 23 and 30 degrees Celsius, nice swimming conditions. We really recommend this for those who want to experience a pristine destination with few other tourists and friendly and welcoming people. The islands also feel (and I believe are) very safe. At Principe, there are no dangerous animals, snakes or whatever, and it was great to be able to hike in the jungle without being very conscious of where to put your hands and feet. Go before everyone else does!

Back home again, basking in the joys of a superb safari. Every aspect you arranged for us, including linking up with Mack Air and Wild Horizons locally to transport us. The choice of camps, Camp Hwange in Zimbabwe and Muchenenje Safari Lodge in Botswana, was spot on and exactly what we had hoped for - ideally situated, comfortable, in good surroundings, and with excellent wildlife on the doorstep and throughout the wider country. The service staff in each looked after us very well, catering was excellent, and the game guides were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. The weather was, as usual for that part of the world, also good at the time of our visit. Blue skies and stunning sunsets. Warm but not too hot during the day, although quite cold at sunrise when viewing game. The viewing started. You made us happy, and we recommend you to similar safari enthusiasts with confidence.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!
