Welcome To Botswana
If you’re a wildlife enthusiast, then say “DUMELA” (hello in Tswana) to Botswana, because this country is every wildlife enthusiast’s dream destination!
It’s also one of Africa’s top safari spots; as Botswana has devoted about 38% of its total land area to national parks, wildlife sanctuaries and private game reserves.
Home to the famous Chobe National Park, Moremi Game Reserve, Kalahari Desert and the Okavango Delta (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), Botswana is the place to be if you want to fly over the elephant-rich Delta and experience scores of animals, including the Big 5 and a host of antelopes during your stay.
You are most certainly in for a holiday like nothing you’ve ever experienced before, when visiting this pristine country — that’s for sure.

Best Places To Go
Home to the Okavango Delta, the Kalahari Desert, Chobe National Park, and Moremi Game Reserve — Botswana is deemed one of the world’s premier wilderness areas! Here are some of our top picks:
Okavango Delta
This huge inland Delta stretches over two million hectares of floodplains, and is one of the largest in the world! It houses a variety of celebrated African wildlife, and incredible wilderness for you to immerse yourself in.
You can experience over 530 bird species, the rare endemic sitatunga and red lechwe antelopes, as well as sightings of elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, hippos, antelope, leopards, hyenas, zebras and crocodiles via exclusive game drives, wooden Mokoro boat trips and private helicopter trips.
Linyanti
Channel your inner wildlife savant during your stay at Linyanti, as this spectacular wilderness is home to the world’s largest free-ranging herds of antelope and elephant, that roam 127 000 hectares of the Linyanti wilderness! It’s one of Botswana’s hidden gems, and is renowned as being one of the best game viewing areas in the region.
You can enjoy walking safaris, river safaris, and exhilarating game drives in this scenic and tranquil environment of unspoiled waterways, lagoons, forests, and palm tree islands to experience sightings of an abundance of elephants, buffaloes and wild dogs.
Nxai Pan National Park
The iconic Nxai Pan is an absolute visual paradise brimming with wildlife, as this old lake bed (now an extensive grassy plain) boasts a deafening silence at night, and by day, this remote destination is covered by iconic African wildlife like wildebeests, springboks, giraffes, and lions roaming its plains.
Experience this spectacular wilderness in all its splendour via a day or night game drive, or walk in the proverbial shoes of Botswana’s indigenous San people to learn about their ancient ways of gathering food, water and medicinal plants. Nxai Pan is without a doubt, a very special place to visit and see.

Best Time To Go To Botswana
Game Viewing: May to October
When animals are huddled together at water sources during the dry winter months, game viewing in Botswana is at its peak. Many experts actually regard June to August as the ultimate time to go on safari, as there’s virtually no rain and the risk of malaria is at its lowest. The Nxai Pan, however, will be dry for kilometers on end during this time.
Zebra Migration: December to January / March to April
Several destinations such as Chobe’s Savuti region and the Kalahari offer excellent summer game viewing, as these destinations are situated on the path of migrating animals (particularly zebras).
Bird Watching: December to March
The migrant-filled summer months are great for enjoying a diversity of species, but Botswana is definitely a year-round birding destination.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are our TOP frequently asked questions about Botswana.
If you have a specific question or query, feel free to give us a call.
Botswana is known for having some of the very best wilderness and wildlife areas on the African continent — with 38% of its total land area devoted to national parks, reserves and wildlife management areas. It’s also famous as being the best place to see meerkats in the wild, having Africa’s highest concentration of elephants, being home to the incredibly iconic Okavango Delta, as well as housing one of the world’s largest salt pans too! That’s why you should definitely travel to Botswana.
Dumela is the general hello. If you want to get technical (and by all means go for it), dumela-rra (doo-meh-lah rah) is used when saying hello to a man, and dumela-mma (doo-meh-lah mah) is used when saying hello to a woman.
Extend your right hand and place your left under your right elbow, as if you were supporting an injured arm during a handshake — it’s easy as that.
Botswana means “Land of the Tswana”, referring to the dominant ethnic group in Botswana. The term Batswana was originally applied to the Tswana people, but has come to be used generally as a demonym for ALL the citizens of Botswana.
We have an extensive list of top-tier lodges across Southern Africa for you to choose from. Feel free to contact us for further options.
Great question! When you travel to Botswana with Chartered Safari Club you don’t have to worry about that AT ALL. We’ll take care of EVERYTHING!
