A vacation in Botswana is simply incomplete without staying at a luxury hotel or resort, whether that be in the heart of Chobe National Park or on the banks of the Okavango Delta. We say this because a little luxury goes a long while on safari, like dipping into a plunge pool after a morning game drive, or taking a hot shower after stargazing amidst the bush. Not to mention, there is a vast variety of lodging choices, from five-star camping to traditional hotels.

To ensure the ultimate safari experience, staying at a luxury resort in Botswana is essential. Picture infinity pools that open up to grassy plains, intimate dinners under a clear night sky, and the sort of chic decor that pairs terrifically in such rustic settings.

These low lying waters are some of the most appealing for thirsty predators and a handful of luxury camps have a better position than others. That’s why we love the Sandibe Camp, where all of the heavenly villas (and accompanying private pools) are stilted above the marsh, and the architecture is second to none.
