Luxury Botswana Safari Holidays

The country that’s home to the most elephants in the world, Botswana is one of Africa’s best travel destinations. It’s a country that’s all about the outdoors, the bountiful wildlife, and connecting with local people. With roaring lions as your adventure soundtrack, Botswana knows a thing or two about a luxury safari, which is why this country should be at the top of your Africa bucket list.

In the far northeastern corner of Botswana sits Chobe, the country’s first National Park. The holy grail of wildlife, it’s divided into three different areas: river, marshes, and the Savuti. In addition to the insane spectacle, Chobe is also dotted with some of our favourite luxury lodges in all of Africa. It’s here you can have the quintessential safari experience full of game drives and star gazing.

The UNESCO World Heritage Site that is the Okavango Delta is an extraordinary spectacle and a truly surreal ecosystem. The Okavango wetland consists of thousands of lily-covered waterways, 164 different mammals, 157 reptiles, and 540 species of birds. From zebras to leopards, buffalos to rhinos, a holiday to Botswana is incomplete without spending time in the delta.

Nothing says cultural immersion like spending time getting to know the indigenous hunter-gatherers of Botswana: The San people. The bushmen of Botswana can be found in their native land, the Kalahari Desert, and meeting them and participating in their traditions is the most engaging way to understand their lifestyle. A tailor-made holiday with Black Tomato will introduce you to this fascinating culture in the most intimate way.
