Laced with powerful rivers, epic valleys and vast national parks, Botswana is a landlocked triangle of awesome African wilderness. Situated in the south of the continent, its diverse landscape ranges from large desert expanses to lush river deltas, teeming with elephants and hippos.

Known for having some of the best wildlife viewing in the world, its luxurious lodges and exclusive safaris make Botswana the perfect destination for nature lovers. Visitors can witness dramatic sunsets burning across salt flats, golden grasslands whipping in the wind and majestic lions, zebras and black rhinos roaming across glorious, pristine plains.

From the fascinating culture of Southern Africa’s oldest “bushmen”, to adventurous 4x4 experiences and prehistoric rock art sweeping across its spiritual hills, this is a country with endless possibilities.
