Botswana
The Okavango Delta in flood
Botswana, the Okavango Delta — water safaris and the floods of June.
The most exclusive safari country in Africa. Botswana caps visitor numbers, runs few but exceptional camps (Mombo, Jao, Vumbura, Duba Plains), and rewards travellers with the highest concentration of wildlife south of the Mara.
Pair with Victoria Falls and a Cape Town close for the classic southern Africa fortnight.
A year in Botswana
Peak Delta flood, water safaris by mokoro, perfect game.
Hot, dry, peak predator concentrations around water.
Calving, dramatic skies, fewer guests, soft rates.
Flood arriving, lush, ideal sweet spot.
