The Highlights of Botswana at a Glance

Okavango-Delta

The world’s largest inland delta is a unique natural wonder. Gliding silently through reed-lined channels in a mokoro (traditional dugout canoe) while elephants graze on the shore is an incomparable experience.

Chobe-National Park & Chobe River

Famous for having the highest concentration of elephants in the world. On a sunset boat safari, you will experience hippos, crocodiles, and massive elephant herds up close.

Moremi Game Reserve & Savuti

Classic big-game territory in the heart of the delta and the rugged wilderness of Savuti—renowned for spectacular predator sightings and impressive lion prides.

Makgadikgadi- & Nxai-Pan-National Park

Endless expanses, shimmering salt pans, ancient baobab trees, and curious meerkats—a fascinating contrast to the water-rich delta.

FAQ

When is the best time to visit Botswana?

  • Dry season (May to October): The best time for wildlife viewing. The water in the Okavango Delta reaches its peak, and animals gather around the remaining waterholes.

  • Green Season (November to April): Lush greenery, spectacular birdlife, many newborn animals, and fantastic lighting conditions for photography—often at more attractive prices.

Can Botswana be easily combined with Namibia?

Yes, absolutely! A very popular and scenically magnificent route leads from the Namibian Caprivi Strip via Chobe National Park and the Okavango Delta all the way to Victoria Falls.

Why is Botswana more expensive as a travel destination than other African countries?

Botswana consistently pursues a “Low Volume, High Quality” tourism strategy to protect its sensitive environment from mass tourism. This means fewer visitors, untouched nature, and a more exclusive safari experience.
