Day 1-3 :
Leroo La Tau, Makgadikgadi Pans National Park
- On arrival at the Maun International Airport you will be met by a Desert & Delta Safaris representative and assisted with your light aircraft transfer to Leroo La Tau.
- Spend two nights at Leroo La Tau in a chalet on an all-inclusive basis as per Desert & Delta Safaris terms and conditions.
The Boteti River – Makgadikgadi Pans National Park
The Makgadikgadi Pans National Park stretches away from the banks of the Boteti River, through its hinterland of scrub and grassland. The river and the nutrient-rich western grasslands supply the essential water and sustenance for the herds that inhabit the park. The Boteti River is the main outflow of the Okavango Delta, collecting the water that flows past Maun, then continuing about 250 km south-eastwards, finally ending at Lake Xau on the extreme south- western edge of the great Makgadikgadi salt pans.
The Zebra and Wildebeest herds migrate in their thousands to the river at the end of winter to access the water. The Makgadikgadi is a harsh, dry environment, suited to Oryx and Kudu, but the river provides a life-giving source of water for the Zebra and Wildebeest utilising the eastern grass plains. After the start of the rainy season, this desert area teems with wildlife as herds of Zebra and Wildebeest graze to their hearts’ content on the wide-open green grassland plains of the Makgadikgadi. During the wet season there is an influx of migratory bird species, while resident desert species welcome their visitors by showing off their breeding plumage.
Overnight: Leroo La Tau
Leroo La Tau rises majestically above the Boteti River which stretches across the western border of the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park. The park, populated by up to 30,000 zebra and wildebeest closely accompanied by predators, offers guests the chance to experience the exhilaration of seeing large concentrations of game and the resultant predator interaction. The lodge offers a raised hide above the river where guests can enjoy the spectacular wildlife sightings that we’ve come to expect in this part of Botswana. With just 12 thatched luxury chalets all overlooking the magnificent Makgadikgadi Pans National Park, each with en-suite bathrooms. There is a dining room, reading room and bar in the main lodge, expansive wooden decks and a plunge pool, where guests can immerse themselves seamlessly into the ultimate wildlife experience in Botswana. Having explored the area and enjoyed a spectacular wildlife phenomenon on guided day and night game drives, guests can retire after dinner to a splendid fireplace overlooking the river.
Day 3-5 :
Camp Xakanaxa, Moremi Game Reserve
- After your morning activity at Leroo La Tau you will be collected and transferred by light aircraft to Camp Xakanaxa in the Moremi Game Reserve.
- Spend two nights at Camp Xakanaxa on an all-inclusive basis as per Desert & Delta Safaris terms and conditions.
Moremi Game Reserve
Situated in the east of the Okavango Delta, Moremi Game Reserve ranks as one of the most beautiful reserves in Africa. It covers more than 4871 square kilometres of pristine wilderness, and the varied terrain includes savannah, winding waterways, and dense forest. This diverse ecosystem supports an incredibly wide spectrum of wildlife, ranging from large herds of buffalo, wildebeest and zebra, to the rare sitatunga and lechwe antelope, lion, cheetah and packs of wild dog in the open grasslands. The birdlife is prolific and includes most of the 550 bird species recorded on Botswana’s national bird list. A range of luxury lodges in the reserve offers visitors the perfect base to experience this corner of paradise.
Overnight: Camp Xakanaxa
Camp Xakanaxa is located on the banks of the Khwai River on the Xakanaxa Lagoon, in the heart of the Moremi Game Reserve. It offers guests an authentic, year round Okavango Delta land and water safari experience. The camp accommodates twenty four guests in twelve spacious all canvas, classic Meru style luxury safari tents, with en suite showers and hand basins. Situated around the fringe of the lagoon, every tent has a private viewing deck with comfortable loungers. The stylish main buildings extend over the Khwai River and are set on raised platforms to maximize the views over the surrounding lagoons and islands. The elegant lounge and dining rooms, built of local timber, reed and thatch, feature a small library, expansive sundeck, plunge pool and sala with day bed.
Day 5-8 :
Savute Safari Lodge, Savuti - Chobe National Park
- After your morning activity at Camp Xakanaxa you will be collected and transferred by light aircraft to Savute Safari Lodge in the Chobe National Park.
- Spend two nights at Savute Safari Lodge on an all-inclusive basis as per Desert & Delta Safaris terms and conditions.
Savute – Chobe National Park
Savuti, also known as Savute lies in the heart of Botswana’s beautiful Chobe National Park. This dynamic wilderness is a sweeping expanse of savannah brooded over by several rocky outcrops which guard a relic marsh and the dry channel that was once its lifeline. The Savute goes through wet and dry cycles, where wild dogs hunt in the dry river channel where crocodiles swam only twenty years ago. Visitors to this spectacular area can spot abundant wildlife including: a variety of birds, elephants, antelope, lion prides, black-backed jackal, bat-eared foxes, tsessebe, kudu, hyena, cheetah Cape buffalo herds, and thousands of migrating zebra and wildebeest.
Overnight: Savute Safari Lodge
Located on the banks of the Savute channel, Savute Safari Lodge is intimate, accommodating only 24 guests in cool thatched timber and glass suites. The area is renowned for its population of bull elephant and for the unique interaction of the resident predator species. The close proximity of wildlife translates itself into the recently refurbished, modern African décor.

Botswana FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Helpful answers for planning a Botswana Safari, including best places, seasons, wildlife, activities, and travel style.
The best time to visit Botswana is usually from May to October, during the dry season. Wildlife is easier to see because animals gather around rivers, lagoons, floodplains, and remaining water sources. This is a strong period for Chobe National Park, Moremi Game Reserve, and the Okavango Delta.
The green season, from November to April, brings rain, fresh grass, newborn animals, and excellent birdwatching. This season is also beautiful for photography, with greener landscapes and dramatic skies.
The Okavango Delta is famous because it is one of the world’s largest inland deltas. Its water spreads across the Kalahari Desert instead of flowing into the sea, creating channels, lagoons, islands, and floodplains.
Travellers can explore the delta by mokoro, boat, walking safari, and game drive, depending on the camp and area. Wildlife may include elephants, hippos, crocodiles, red lechwe, lions, leopards, wild dogs, and many bird species.
Yes, Chobe National Park is one of the best places in Botswana for first-time safari travellers. It is easier to access than many remote safari areas and offers excellent wildlife sightings, especially along the Chobe River.
The park is famous for large elephant herds, but travellers may also see buffalo, giraffes, zebras, lions, leopards, hippos, crocodiles, and many birds. Boat cruises and game drives make the safari more varied.
Moremi Game Reserve is special because it combines dry land, floodplains, lagoons, grasslands, and woodland within the greater Okavango Delta region. This variety creates excellent wildlife viewing in a beautiful natural setting.
Travellers may see lions, leopards, wild dogs, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, and rich birdlife. Moremi is also one of the more accessible parts of the delta, making it popular for both guided and self-drive safaris.
At the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, travellers can enjoy desert-style experiences that feel very different from a classic safari. Activities may include quad biking, guided walks, horseback riding, meerkat visits, stargazing, and seasonal wildlife viewing.
During the rainy season, the pans can attract zebras, wildebeest, flamingos, and other animals. In the dry season, the wide white landscape feels open, quiet, and almost unreal, making it perfect for photography and night-sky viewing.
Yes, the Central Kalahari Game Reserve is worth visiting for travellers who enjoy remote landscapes and quieter safari routes. It is one of Africa’s largest protected areas, with open grasslands, fossil river valleys, salt pans, and desert-adapted wildlife.
Wildlife sightings may include black-maned lions, cheetahs, brown hyenas, oryx, springbok, giraffes, and other desert species. It is best for travellers with more time, patience, and interest in raw wilderness.
A Botswana Safari can offer excellent wildlife sightings across different areas. Travellers may see elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, antelopes, wild dogs, hyenas, and many bird species.
Chobe is known for elephants, the Okavango Delta is excellent for wetland wildlife, and Moremi is strong for predators and varied habitats. Sightings depend on the season, location, water levels, and safari style.
A mokoro safari is a traditional canoe experience, mainly enjoyed in the Okavango Delta. A guide poles the mokoro through shallow channels, allowing travellers to move quietly through reeds, water lilies, and open waterways.
This safari style is peaceful and close to nature. Travellers may see birds, reed frogs, dragonflies, antelopes, elephants near the water, and other wetland wildlife from a low and calm viewpoint.
Yes, Botswana is one of Africa’s top luxury safari destinations. Many lodges and camps are located in remote private concessions, where visitor numbers are limited and the safari experience feels more personal.
Luxury Botswana Safari Packages may include fly-in transfers, private camps, guided game drives, mokoro rides, boat safaris, walking safaris, fine dining, and beautiful wilderness settings. The focus is comfort, privacy, conservation, and strong guiding.
Botswana can be suitable for families, especially those with older children who enjoy wildlife and outdoor experiences. Areas like Chobe and some Okavango Delta lodges can work well because they offer good facilities and exciting activities.
However, some remote camps may have age restrictions for walking safaris, mokoro rides, or shared game drives. Families should choose lodges carefully based on child policies, travel distances, room setup, malaria advice, and activity options.
