The Okavango Delta stretches over 15000 square kilometres. Visitors can enjoy a number of wonderful activities such as game viewing, fishing, bird watching or taking an authentic guided Mokoro excursion through this wetland paradise in a traditional dugout canoe. Commonly spotted animals include: lion, rhino, leopard, giraffe, hippos, elephants, crocodiles and countless species of bird.

Mokoro trips in eco-friendly dugout canoes built to the traditional design, boat safaris to lagoons and islands and wilderness walks give guests the chance to see the Delta denizens such as sitatunga and lechwe antelope, crocodile and hippo, as well as the other big game that frequents the islands and riverine fringes. Bird-watching opportunities are outstanding, and the bream and tiger fishing can be excellent at certain times of the year.

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.
