A safari destination defined by space, water and extraordinary concentrations of wildlife
Botswana combines the waterways and floodplains of the Okavango system with the drier landscapes of Chobe and the Kalahari. The result is a safari that can change character completely within a single itinerary – from mokoro journeys and boat safaris to game drives across open plains and woodland.
For a first visit, combining contrasting ecosystems is often more rewarding than staying in one place. Private concessions can add night drives, walking and a greater sense of seclusion, while national parks and reserves deliver some of the country’s most celebrated wildlife areas.
Where to explore in Botswana
Our current Botswana collection takes in Chobe, Okavango, Moremi and Kalahari. Each area has been selected because it adds something distinct to a tailor-made journey, whether that is wildlife, landscape, culture, food, coast or simply the chance to slow the pace.
Rather than treating these as a checklist, we can help decide which regions belong together and how long to spend in each. The aim is a journey that feels coherent, with sensible transfers and enough time to enjoy the properties and experiences along the way.
Who Botswana suits
Botswana works particularly well for serious safari travellers, couples, families and multi-generational trips where wildlife, guiding and privacy matter more than conventional resort facilities. The detail can then be shaped around the people travelling – preferred pace, room or villa requirements, interests, celebrations and how much structure you want built into each day.
Planning your stay
Private Hideaway Escapes can arrange the complete journey, including handpicked accommodation, private transfers, internal flights where appropriate, guides and experiences. We can also combine Botswana with another destination when the routing genuinely improves the trip rather than simply adding another stop.
