Botswana, a landlocked country in Southern Africa is bordered by South Africa to the south and east, by Namibia to the west and by Zimbabwe to the east and is a singular economic and social success story in Africa. Despite a very low population, the infrastructure is exceptional and Botswana citizens are encouraged to take advantage of available opportunities, including free university education. Tourism is vital and appreciated for its foreign earnings and employment value but is also strictly controlled so that the environment is vigilantly protected.
It is arid, flat and with a sparse population centred mostly in the capital city and regional towns. Botswana’s wilderness areas are pristine and represent the entire spectrum from desert to inland delta. The Okavango Delta is regarded as Botswana’s best known geographical feature, the world’s largest inland delta comprised of thousands of channels that empty into the Kalahari Desert. The delta is home to a huge diversity of animal and bird species contributing to Botswana’s reputation as an exceptional and unique safari destination. Other wildlife sanctuaries of Moremi, Savute, Linyati and Chobe are also essential locations for a safari.
Wildlife Safari Australia offers a collection of private custom designed safaris travelling to the Okavango Delta, Moremi, Savute, Linyanti, Chobe, Makgadikgadi and Kalahari sanctuaries and staying in exceptional safari lodges and luxury tented camps. In designing a safari, we always consider the location, access to wildlife, facilities and accessibility in selecting our properties as well the benefit of our personal experiences. Depending on the wilderness sanctuary, your game viewing activities vary due to their location and may be conducted in open safari vehicles, by mokoro (traditional canoe) in the delta, a motorboat, or by a walking safari always accompanied by a highly experienced guide.
