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
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.”
