The Okavango Delta is often the first destination that comes to mind when planning a Botswana safari, but the country’s northern wilderness offers an incredible variety of landscapes, wildlife habitats and safari experiences.

Within the Delta, Moremi Game Reserve is renowned for its rich wildlife, scenic floodplains and diverse ecosystems. The surrounding private concessions offer more secluded safari experiences, with opportunities for game drives, walking safaris and traditional mokoro excursions.

Further north, the Kwando-Linyanti region and Selinda Reserve are celebrated for their exceptional wildlife viewing, remote luxury camps and beautiful waterways. The Chobe Riverfront is particularly famous for its large elephant herds, while the Savuti region of Chobe National Park offers exciting game drives and excellent opportunities to spot lions, leopards and other predators.

For a quieter experience, explore the Okavango Panhandle, where peaceful waterways, excellent fishing, birdwatching and cultural attractions create a different perspective of Botswana. Nearby, the ancient rock art and dramatic landscapes of Tsodilo Hills provide a fascinating glimpse into the region’s heritage.

Beyond northern Botswana, the vast Makgadikgadi and Nxai Pans reveal spectacular open landscapes, seasonal wildlife movements and breathtaking sunsets. For a more remote wilderness adventure, Central Kalahari Game Reserve offers expansive desert scenery, unique wildlife and an authentic off-the-beaten-path safari experience.

From the waterways of the Okavango Delta to the elephant-rich Chobe Riverfront and the open landscapes of the Kalahari, Botswana offers remarkable safari diversity for every type of traveller.
