      Exclusive Botswana Adventures

      A land of striking contrasts, from the shimmering white salt of the Makgadikgadi to the great sandy plains of the Kalahari and the verdant seasonal oasis of the Okavango, Botswana is for the traveller in search of a deeper and more authentic encounter with the African wilderness.

      Abundant game and a sparse human population, together with a stable government committed to environmentally sensitive low-volume/high-quality tourism, mean that you can experience here, perhaps more than in any other country on the continent, the raw wild African safari of your imagination. And do so in considerable comfort.

      “Our deep-rooted expertise will help guide you through the myriad possibilities to deliver a richly textured and uniquely personal realisation of your aims.”

      We’ve been introducing our guests to Botswana’s remarkable wildlife and traditional Basarwa San communities since 1989. Accompanied by some of the continent’s finest wildlife guides and indigenous trackers, they have followed huge elephant herds through Chobe’s riverine forests and grasslands, searched for black-maned lion in the Kalahari’s fossil river valleys, been awed by the rock art of the Tsodilo Hills, played with inquisitive meerkat families in the Kalahari, and dreamed beneath ancient twisted baobabs with the Milky Way for a roof.

      The interplay of Botswana’s seasons—the rhythm of wet and dry—determines the zebra and wildebeest migrations. This means, in one sense, that there’s no bad time to visit. How best to move around, though, whether on the back of a horse, in a 4×4, or canoe, by air or on foot, is equally dependent on the seasons. All are marvellous ways to experience Botswana’s diverse wildlife. Our deep-rooted expertise will help guide you through the myriad possibilities to deliver a richly textured and uniquely personal realisation of your aims.

      Botswana’s luxury safari camps and lodges are amongst the finest in Africa: intimate, extremely well run and often evocatively positioned, they are cocoons of style and charm. Some are seasonal, others fixed. All feel far from the beaten track. Whether you’re a first-timer or an old hand, we excel at matching the accommodation that best meets your interests and priorities. 

      Private mobile safaris, led by a top wildlife guide, are particularly rewarding. They allow you not only to move through the bush with the game, but also offer thrillingly unfiltered moments without another soul around. Your first sighting of a wild dog. A surprise gourmet lunch set up just for you on a palm-filled island in the Okavango. The hypnotic rhythms of a trance dance in a remote San Basarwa community. The primal thrill of hyenas whooping outside your tent at night. Travelling in this way through Botswana repays your investment with some of modern life’s rarest commodities: Wilderness. Space. A chance to reconnect.
