Botswana may not be the first name on your lips when you think of a classic safari destination, yet this landlocked African nation has some of the most intriguing and unusual safari options on offer. Home to plenty of big game, and almost 1,000 species of birds, Botswana may be less-visited than some of its neighbours, but boasts several excellent national parks, including the hard-to-reach but rewarding Chobe National Park, an area covering some 12,000 square kilometres in the far north east.
Botswana’s interior is dominated by the infamous Kalahari Desert, a seemingly threatening environment that in fact harbours a surprising range of nature, and home to the proud Kalahari bushmen. The Okavango Delta, meanwhile, in the county’s north west, is a unique wetland landscape, providing an incredible maze of winding, papyrus-fringed waterways and idyllic islands, dotted with ancient trees. You’ll find nothing else like it in Africa, or, indeed, the world. Africa Sky offer several exclusive riverside and island lodges from which you can view the region’s wildlife or simply drift along the river on a traditional makoro dugout canoe.
