Botswana Safaris

Safari Packages That Include The Okavango Delta, Moremi, Chobe And Central Kalahari In Botswana

Botswana is where you find some of the last remote wilderness destinations left in Africa: the Chobe National Park, the Okavango Delta, Kalahari Desert Game Reserve, and the salt pans of the Makgadikgadi National Park.

The country remains primarily untouched and unspoiled and the place to find Africa's most diversified wildlife amongst the spectacular vistas. You can explore one of nature's great contrasts where the Kalahari Desert encounters the natural wonder of the Okavango.

A landlocked country in Southern Africa that has a rich wildlife heritage. The country is often referred to as the "Land of Giants" because of its ancient baobab trees and free-roaming elephant herds. Home to the Okavango Delta, the world's largest inland deltas, which provides a habitat for a wide variety of mammals.

An excellent destination for those who want to experience the beauty of Africa's landscapes and wildlife. National Parks that must be visited include; the Chobe National Park (and Chobe River), Moremi Game Reserve, Makgadikgadi Pans and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. The four national parks and games reserves combined with the Okavango Delta would rival any safari destination in Africa and Southern Africa for both birdlife and wildlife viewing.

Without question, one of Africa's top destinations and a must for anyone interested in photographic safaris.

Types Of Safaris When In Botswana

The safari packages that we offer here at Uyaphi.com come in all shapes and sizes, from camping and tented safaris to luxurious mobile safaris to luxury fly-in safari options through to the more budget-friendly overland adventures.

All safari packages can be tailor-made to suit one's every wish and desire, from honeymoon and romantic tours that include small and intimate Botswana safari camps with private plunge pools to family-friendly options with lodges that cater to families with suitable accommodation options and activities options for both adults and kids.

We offer a variety of Botswana safari tours to suit everyone's needs and budget, as all packages are either scheduled or tailor-made.

Wildlife and birdlife viewing when on Botswana safari

Visitors can enjoy incredible game viewing. The vast open landscapes and an array of ecosystems make the country home to abundant wildlife, including lions, elephants, Cape buffalo, leopards, hyenas, wild dogs, cheetahs and hippos (164 mammal species in total).

Some of the most popular game viewing destinations include the Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park(Chobe River and Savuti), Makgadikgadi Pans, Linyanti, Selinda, the Moremi Game Reserve, and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve.

Home to a dazzling variety of birdlife, with over 593 different species observed. Birders will enjoy spotting everything from ostriches and secretary birds to vultures and marabou storks.

The Okavango Delta is especially renowned for its birding opportunities, with over 400 different species sighted in the area.

Whether you are an avid birder or just looking to add a few new bird species to your list, the country offers the opportunity to get up close and personal with some of Africa's most beautiful birds, especially in the summer months.

Depending on the location where one is spending the night, activities include; night drives and game drives in a safari vehicle, walking safaris (allowed only in a private concession), mokoro and boating excursions on the waterways of the Okavango Delta.

When is the best time to safari Botswana?

The best time to visit Botswana safari is between May and October (peak season), with cooler daily temperatures and the Okavango in flood.

NOTE: game viewing when on safari is also widely regarded as the best during the winter months (the dry season).

Over the past few years, the summer months, known as the "green season" or "rainy season" (November to April), have become hugely popular for those seeking an escape from the Northern hemisphere's cold. Yes, the days are hot, but the birdlife is exceptional, as is the zebra migration across the Kalahari Desert.

The best time to visit Botswana or anywhere in Africa is when you have the time available. So no matter the time of year, you will see, photograph and experience the very best in wildlife.

Accommodation And Lodging Options When On Safari

One of Africa's most fascinating countries to visit and offers a plethora of accommodation options to choose from, depending on your budget and preferences.

When planning a Botswana safari tour, the good news is that there is most likely a lodge or camp to suit everyone. Whether you're looking for a luxurious lodge with all the amenities of a 5-star hotel, or something more rustic and authentic, we at Uyaphi.com have you covered.

Depending on the cost, Botswana lodges can range from the utmost in luxury, privacy and service all the way through to more rustic tented camps for those looking for more budget orientated accommodation options.

We offer a selection of lodges and camps suitable for single travellers, couples, honeymooners, romantics, and families alike.

When on a camping or mobile tented safari, the campsites used are private by design and nature, there will be no neighbours, and the sites are located in remote and wild locations. These private campsites are known as HATAB sites; they are only available to operators and are not available for self-drive tours.

NOTE: Camping or mobile tented safaris are not fenced, and one does need to be on the lookout for wild animals including; lion, leopard, elephant and hyena as they do occasionally wander through camp.

A fascinating country in Africa with plenty to offer in terms of wildlife, birdlife, photography and destinations.
