Our specialist says:

This trip is the ideal introduction to under canvas safaris in Botswana. From the game rich waterways of the Okavango Delta to the Semi arid desert of the Makgadikgadi you will be blown away by the camps, wildlife and scenery.

One of the benefits of a Botswana safari is if you are flying from London there is little jetlag and with the overnight flight, you can find yourself departing in the evening and then sipping on a gin and tonic by lunchtime watching elephants drink from a waterhole.

This itinerary starts off with 3 days in the Northern Okavango Delta, an area famed for its lion and buffalo interactions. 3 nights at Duba Explorers is the perfect way to immerse yourself into the bush with the comfort of a 5-star camp and incredible guiding. Following your 3 nights here you will start your journey south to Gomoti Plains to spend another 3 nights in an area well known for its high predator numbers but also the opportunity for rhino sightings, which these days are hard to come by. Gomoti Plains is a personal favourite of mine, its relaxed back atmosphere makes you feel like you are home and the staff begins to feel like part of your family. Your final stop is somewhere I hold close to my heart. I worked as a guide for 3 years in the Magadikgadi and wow, what an incredible place. What looks deserted on the surface is actually full of life and will blow you away. 3 nights at Jack Camp will contrast the wet Okavango Delta perfectly and leave you wanting to come back and explore more of what Botswana has to offer.

This trip is an all-rounder, it works at any time of year and is good for couples, families, or honeymoons. It’s the perfect introduction to Botswana showcasing its diverse wildlife and habitats.

May

With the rainy season at an end, the temperature falls, making bush excursions more pleasant. Nights can be a little chilly, so you'll probably need an extra layer if you're heading out on an evening game drive. Skies become clearer and there are fewer mosquitoes. This is one of our favourite months to travel and also marks the final month before the peak season rates kick in in most camps.
