Safari Places in Botswana
Botswana is located between Zimbabwe and Namibia, and is blessed with some of the best wildlife for an African wildlife safari, and can be accessed by road and air transfers.
Botswana is home to the largest elephant population in all of Africa and provides guests with an unforgettable safari experience. Throughout the wilderness of Botswana, game such as African wild dog, antelope and rhino can be spotted on game viewing activities. The main attractions of Botswana are the Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park and Kalahari Desert, and the rich bird and wildlife that freely roam these areas.
Botswana safari tour accommodation is offered at luxury safari lodges and activities includes game drives, Mokoro cruises, fishing, bird watching and cultural tours. See below for Botswana safari tour recommendations.
