Safari Packages That Include The Okavango Delta, Moremi, Chobe And Central Kalahari In Botswana
Botswana is, without a doubt, one of Africa's most extraordinary safari destinations, home to untouched wilderness icons like Chobe National Park, the Okavango Delta, the Kalahari Desert, and the awe-inspiring Makgadikgadi salt pans. This unspoiled paradise offers a diverse array of wildlife, breathtaking scenery, and some of the most unique landscapes on the continent—a true haven for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
Imagine the dramatic contrast where the vast, arid Kalahari Desert seamlessly gives way to the lush, water-filled Okavango Delta, one of the world's largest and most mesmerizing inland deltas. Often referred to as the "Land of Giants," Botswana boasts ancient, towering baobab trees and expansive herds of majestic, free-roaming elephants—a sight that will stay with you forever.
At Uyaphi.com, we specialize in curating unforgettable safari experiences. Our packages range from adventurous camping and tented safaris to the ultimate in safari luxury, with mobile safaris and fly-in options designed for discerning travellers. Whether you're seeking a romantic honeymoon complete with intimate safari camps and private plunge pools or a family-friendly lodge with activities to delight both kids and adults, there's a package tailored to your specific desires. We pride ourselves on offering safari options suited to all preferences and budgets, with both scheduled itineraries and bespoke, tailor-made adventures available.
For those seeking an immersive escape into the wild, our camping or mobile-tented safaris are nothing short of extraordinary. These safaris use private, remote HATAB campsites, offering a true sense of exclusivity. With no neighbours in sight and campsites nestled deep in the wilderness, the feeling of being one with nature is unparalleled. It's worth noting that these campsites are unfenced, so you may experience the thrill of spotting lions, leopards, or hyenas wandering through camp—a rare and unforgettable moment for any safari enthusiast.

Whether you're marvelling at the pristine landscapes, tracking elusive predators, or soaking in the serenity of a saltpan sunset, this country promises a safari experience unlike any other.

Botswana Fly In Safaris
Fly-In packages are the perfect way to experience all that the country has to offer. With various luxury accommodation and game viewing options, you can customise your Botswana safari holiday to fit your specific needs and interests. By using light aircraft, you maximise your time at your destination while enjoying some of the most secluded and luxurious lodges and camps in the country, especially in the remote wilderness of the Okavango Delta. Whether you're looking for an adventure-filled luxury safari or a more relaxed and leisurely experience, fly-in safaris will exceed your expectations.
Botswana Luxury Tented Safaris
A selection of luxury tented mobile safaris based on large Meru-styled canvas tents that offer guests a luxury safari experience with en-suite facilities in wild and remote locations. A team sets up the remote and wild tented camp before one's arrival. This is the life of luxury, especially for those looking for traditional Botswana safari tours with the added benefit of large, luxurious tented suites. The tented camps are not fenced; wildlife can and will wander through the camp during the day or night. Keep your eyes open as you never know what you're going to bump into.
Botswana Family Safaris
Are you looking for a fantastic family African travel experience that will be remembered for a lifetime? Look no further because we have just the thing! Our family holidays are carefully selected to offer destinations, activities, and lodges which provide an unforgettable experience of discovery for all ages. Family safaris are safe, fun and rewarding and genuinely enable parents to bond with their children when in Africa. Families together can experience the Okavango Delta, Moremi and the Chobe National Park.
Botswana Mobile Safaris
Botswana Mobile Safaris are the perfect way to enjoy an African safari experience. Unlike traditional camping, mobile options offer a more intimate and relaxed camping atmosphere and plenty of opportunities to get up close and personal with fantastic wildlife. Our mobile trips and tours are all-inclusive, so you can relax and enjoy the very best in Botswana safaris without worrying about the details. All dome tents have private en-suite bathroom facilities as standard. Expert guides and camp staff will take care of everything, from setting up the tented camp to cooking delicious meals and ensuring that you have the best possible Botswana safari experience.
Botswana Camping Safaris
These small group camping safari options are more of the traditional safaris of yesteryear, remote and wild destinations, unfenced and wild campsites and meals cooked over an open fire under African skies. These more authentic camping options visit all the wildlife destinations, including the Okavango Delta, Moremi, Savuti, Chobe National Park and Chobe River. A few of these options will start or end in Victoria Falls. All the camping safaris in Botswana that we offer are of the "semi participation" variety. This means that guests help set up and pack away their tents and help pack and unpack the safari vehicles. Although, the safari team does all cooking, cleaning, and a few other tasks.
Botswana Budget Safaris
If you are looking for a more affordable safari option, look at our budget-orientated overlanding portfolio. Accommodation options on these safaris are camping in dome tents or small rustic tented lodges and camps. Participants on these tours help with all camp duties, including camp setup, cooking and cleaning. If one is not shy of a little work, then the reward is a much more cost-effective option all the while still offering up that authentic experience. The itineraries include all of Botswana's famous destinations. Most options will start or end in Johannesburg (South Africa) or Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe or Zambia).
