Discover Botswana

From our Safari Collection

Whether it’s your first time on safari, or just your first time in Botswana, you’ll want to experience the major draw cards that give Botswana its well-deserved reputation as a prime game-viewing destination.

These itineraries will see you following the world's largest elephant population through the Chobe National Park and exploring the waterways of the Okavango Delta by traditional mokoro. You won't miss any of the big stuff and you'll get a feeling for the country as a whole, from game viewing to contrasting landscapes and the spray of the mighty Victoria Falls just over the border.

Every itinerary can be modified by adding nights or areas, upgrading camps for a more exclusive safari experience; or tweaking the itinerary to make it a little easier on the wallet. Get in touch and we’ll create your perfect safari experience.

Bottom line is that the Buffalo Lodge & Mobile Safari is excellent value! Botswana doesn't have to be a prohibitively expensive destination - joining a group mobile camping safari is one of the best ways to explore the amazing wildlife areas of northern Botswana. The first two nights are in a permanent camp to ease you into things before heading out on the camping trip.

  • For extra comfort, hire a second mattress while camping (it makes a difference)
  • Bring a headlamp on the camping safari - it's handier to have your hands free!

"Oddballs’ is lovely, camping but with the extras! It was very hot as we went in October but as you suggested, I took a sarong to wet in the middle of the day and the evaporative cooling really made it bearable. The game viewing was incredible.""I want to thank you for sending me to Bush Ways, and thus Moscow, our fabulous guide. He was truly wonderful. He was knowledgeable, and great at tracking animals… especially big cats. The trip went off without a hitch. He handled everyone’s wants and needs with grace, understanding, and love."

"Amazing!! After being in Victoria Falls and Chobe, Sango is where we really felt us being on safari in the middle of nowhere. Sitting in the pool with an elephant nearby, impalas in front and a hippo while having dinner. The staff was incredible! Unbelievably good food and incredible kindness. Very good guide and we saw almost every animal we would like to see, even leopards with cubs. If we knew… we would have stayed one night longer.."

"Pom Pom's location in the 'true' Delta was ideal. Game drives started immediately upon leaving the camp (or in the camp in many cases as a wild dog ran through camp during lunch) and I really like its authenticity. Combined with an absolutely amazing camp manager, it made for a wonderful experience for me."

"My wife (who is an architect by education) loved Chobe Game Lodge - its style, design and overall layout of the lodge. We all loved the posh game drive vehicles at Chobe - I've never ridden in anything as comfortable or well designed as their game drive vehicles. The boat rides at Chobe made for a nice alternative to the game drives."
