Why Travel to Botswana this year?

The Okavango Delta is Simply Glorious Right Now

After a few drier seasons, our Okavango Delta has come alive again—lush, green, and brimming with water. Wide channels and glistening lagoons now snake across the landscape, making 2025 an ideal year for all those iconic water-based safari experiences. Camps that hadn’t offered mokoro or boat excursions in years? They’re back in full swing.

Wildlife Viewing at its Peak

This is the season when Botswana truly shows off. On the ground, here’s what’s happening:

• Khwai Region: A predator paradise—cheetahs, wild dogs, leopards, and lions are spotted regularly, along with buffalo and large herds of plains game.

• Gomoti & Chitabe Area: A popular extension of the Delta, delivering fantastic leopard sightings and more.

• Chobe National Park: Witness the spectacle of herds of elephants gathering in massive numbers, with luck you will see them swim across the Chobe river.

• Makgadikgadi National Park: Catch the final chapters of the zebra migration in this dramatic, open landscape—without the crowds.

A Birdwatcher’s Dream

With the Delta at full flood, birding is phenomenal. Expect vibrant sightings across the floodplains, woodlands, and riverbanks. Whether you’re a seasoned birder or simply curious, this is a feast for the eyes.
