Thanks to Botswana’s strict anti-poaching policies, the country boasts superb wildlife. A Botswana luxury safari offers you an immersive safari experience and the opportunity to explore some of the world’s most spectacular wildlife, including:

• African Elephants: Botswana is home to a large population of African elephants, and sightings of these majestic animals are common, especially around water sources like the Chobe National Park River.
• Lions: One of Botswana’s most iconic predators, you will have a good chance of spotting them lounging in the shade or on the hunt, particularly in areas like the Okavango Delta and Moremi Game Reserve.
• Leopards: While elusive, leopards can be found in various habitats across Botswana, including riverine forests and rocky outcrops. Experienced luxury safari guides can help increase your chances of spotting these elusive big cats.
• African Buffalo: Large herds of African buffalo, also known as cape buffalo, roam the grasslands and woodlands of Botswana, particularly in areas like Chobe National Park and Savuti.
• Rhinoceros: Both black and white rhinos can be found in Botswana, though due to their vulnerable status, they are more commonly seen in private reserves and protected areas.
• Giraffes: Graceful giraffes can often be spotted wandering the savannas of Botswana, browsing on acacia trees.
• Zebras: Both plains zebras and the rarer Hartmann’s mountain zebras can be found in Botswana’s national parks and reserves.
• Hippos: Botswana’s waterways, such as the Okavango Delta and Chobe River, are home to large populations of hippos, often seen lounging in the water or grazing along the banks.
• Cheetahs: Botswana’s open grasslands provide prime hunting grounds for cheetahs, though their solitary nature can make them more challenging to spot.
• Wild Dogs: The African Wild Dog is a popular site in areas like the Okavango Delta.
• Crocodiles: Nile crocodiles can be found in Botswana’s rivers and waterways, particularly in the Okavango Delta waterways and Chobe River.

A Botswana safari boasts a myriad of destinations to explore; however, two of the most popular include:

Botswana’s Okavango Delta
The lush oasis of the Okavango Delta is regarded as the undisputed king of the African safari, with spectacular big-game wildlife viewing. Life slows down at the heart of the delta, a network of waterways where life blossoms. The Okavango Delta is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa and the largest inland delta in the world. The Okavango River is located in the Kalahari Desert, boasting crystal-clear lagoons and fertile floodplains brimming with spectacular wildlife. Explore this fascinating Botswana safari destination while immersing yourself in the luxuries of an exclusive safari lodge. Enjoy motorboat excursions along the river, explore the riverbank in a dugout canoe, experience the thrill of a game drive, or explore by foot.

Botswana’s Chobe National Park
The Chobe National Park, Botswana’s first designated national park, is considered one of the top wilderness reserves in the world, home to the biggest concentration of wildlife in Africa. The Chobe River provides a precious lifeline to the park’s wildlife. It’s here that you will see herds of elephants drinking at the water’s edge, alongside herds of sable antelope and the occasional African wild dog. The contrasting landscapes of the park, coupled with its wonderful wildlife, provide a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Explore the Chobe National Park with a luxury safari with Ker Downey Botswana.
