Botswana has long been a favored safari destination of those in the know.  While topographically flat, almost 70% desert and slightly smaller than Texas, Botswana offers a variety of ecosystems and is unmatched in wildlife diversity.  Spend time studying the social behavior of meerkats in the Kalahari, witness the graceful dive of the fish eagle searching for food in the Okavango Delta and explore the shoreline along the Chobe River and relax aboard your luxury river cruiser.  Add a stopover at the world’s largest curtain of falling water, Victoria Falls, and you have all the elements of a journey of a lifetime.

Highlights

  • Small safari camps allow for a highly personalized level of service
  • Small plane flights to and between safari camps provide an added aerial perspective to your experience
  • Visit Makumi Village and learn some of the traditions of the local Leya people
