botswana’s location

Botswana is a landlocked country in Southern Africa. She shares her borders with South Africa to the South, Namibia to the West, Zimbabwe to the East and Zambia and Angola to the North. 

Botswana is home to the Okavango Delta and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. The Okavango is a World Heritage Site and the CKGR is the single largest game reserve in the world!

Botswana ushered in an era of utterly exclusive safari experiences, the likes of which no other country on mainland Africa can match. There are sumptuous lodges and remote tented camps (especially in the Okavango Delta and surrounds) that range from contemporary to safari nostalgia. Best of all, they provide a front-row seat for fabulous wildlife spectacles that you may very well have all to yourself.

English is an official language in Botswana. It is taught at schools and is widely spoken in all urban centers. Even in rural areas, many local villagers (especially younger ones who have received schooling) will be able to converse in English. All guides and general staff in the camps, lodges and hotel have a good grasp of the English language. 

With a network of private ‘concessions’ hosting just a handful of small, well-designed safari lodges, Botswana safaris offer near exclusivity. Whether you’re watching lions stalk their prey or taking a mokoro trip along narrow, reed-lined channels, you’re unlikely to come across any other visitors. The game here rarely disappoints, the birdlife can be spectacular Night drives are likely to be incredibly exciting as lions awake to being their hunting.
