If there’s one place in the world that stretches the imagination, takes game-viewing to the next level and has championed conservation to ensure long-term low-carbon development, the call to Botswana is a must for wildlife lovers and promises wide-eyed wonder. From the dry savanna of the Kalahari desert and Makgadikgadi salt pan to the rain-ripe Zambezian grasslands, lush marshlands and secluded waterways of the Okavango Delta, the stage is set for spontaneous adventure and exceptional beauty. Twitchers will delight in the unique birding paradise of the Delta, which provides safe shelter for 24 species of globally threatened birds and has recorded over 450 species at this refuge. The fragility of this watery oasis is teeming with wildlife, and the battle for survival is on full display for those who make the privileged journey within.
Savute Elephant Lodge, A Belmond Safari, Chobe National Park
Nestled in a remote corner of Chobe National Park, declared Botswana’s first in 1967, Belmond’s prime position places you in the heart of the Savute Channel, a historic and mysterious presence which ebbs and flows unpredictably. This region is reputed for its vast elephant herds and a dazzling zebra migration (the second largest!) during their Summer season, which in turn attracts their resident lion and hyena predators. With just 12 luxury tents on-site, a stunning outdoor swimming pool, bush sundowners and a rhythmic Boma dining to enhance your stay, follow in the footsteps of David Livingstone at this timeless Explorer’s lodge.
andBeyond Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp
Bordering the Moremi Game Reserve on an exclusive 25,000 hectare Big Five concession, the diverse habitat and wildlife here will keep you on your toes. At Nxabega under a canopy of ebony trees, you’ll find an intimate setting of just nine tents; expect rustic touches blended with contemporary elegance, private verandas, indoor/outdoor showers, and a hanging daybed to really absorb the setting. Take advantage of walking safaris, seasonal mokoro adventures, catch-and-release fishing and helicopter flights for an aerial perspective of the land-water dichotomy. Even better, 80% of their energy consumption is fuelled by green technology.
andBeyond Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge
With the main lodge sculpted to resemble a giant scaled pangolin at rest, and elevated walkways for spectacular wildlife viewing, the wooden tones and organic design of your nest enhance the craftsmanship of Botswana artisans and are soothing to the eye. Enjoy your free time between safaris in your own private plunge pool or relax on your secluded deck with a cooling local beer or tea. The people here make all the difference, where genuine hospitality and authentic experiences will inspire your stay – from the moment you step in, you’re part of their family. Try your hand at gourmet pizza making in the interactive kitchen, and don’t miss out on an Africa Foundation community visit at the Sexaxa School. In the cooler mornings and afternoons, spot opportunistic wild dogs crouching within the grass, working as a pack on the hunt.
andBeyond Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp
This is a holistic and tranquil retreat with wellness therapies and outdoor massage treatments that get you closer to Nature’s therapeutic touch. Housed in soft pastel shades of your romantic sala, rise to the soothing sounds of the Delta from the comfort of your own deck, then dip into your private plunge pool and relax on lagoon-facing loungers. Multi-generation families may opt to buy-out these nine gorgeous tents, while couples will appreciate individual and special dining experiences for more privacy. Relaxation is king here, whether indulging in your personal Suite bar, taking part in a lazy bush brunch, or meandering on a walking safari to better understand the lay of the land
Eagle Island Lodge
Gaze out at pristine vistas of the savannah from your cavernous, light-filled sanctuary, with brooding shades of grey and gold that ooze sophistication. On this private inlet, take part in an experiential safari lodge that treads lightly on the surrounding environment. Saddle up for an unforgettable horseback safari, offering dynamic adventure on every ride. At night, soak up stargazing opportunities or head out on a night drive for a glimpse of a hunt. Staying here, you’ll be supporting Wild Entrust Africa, with projects that keep predators at bay and a chance to learn more about the secret lives of Wild Dogs.
