Botswana safari

Set to the northeast of South Africa, Johannesburg is the great commercial heart of the country and the main transport hub, a sprawling mess of a place, scarred through its heart by the gold mines. It is not somewhere safari travellers tend to linger too long, although the Cradle of Mankind may be worth a visit.

Set in the north of Botswana, the Duba Plains Concession is a remote private sector of the Okavango Delta, with guest accommodation in a couple of extremely high quality camps and offering a good range of wet and dry safari activities.

Set in the north of Botswana, Linyanti Selinda is a prime private safari area, with guest accommodation in a handful of extremely high quality camps and offering a wide range of wet and dry safari activities. Strong wildlife and extraordinarily elegant hospitality.

Set in the north of Botswana, Makgadikgadi is a vast and hypnotic open grassland, centred on a network of epic salt pans and dotted with isolated islands of palm and baobab trees. Guest accommodation is in a really interesting range of a dozen camps, offering a wide range of unusual safari activities, including habituated meerkats, Bushmen interaction, palaeontology and quad-biking.
