    Okavango Delta Safari - Botswana wildlife Safari

    ULTIMATE BOTSWANA SAFARI

      This is the Ultimate Botswana Safari from the Kwando Concession to the Okavango Delta to the Nxai Pans.
      
      Create lifelong memories together on an epic journey through Botswana’s most exciting and diverse regions. This Botswana Wildlife Safari boasts uncrowded sightings in the wildest areas. This extraordinary, luxury safari experience encompasses 3 unique and diverse regions in Botswana.

      Kwando Private Concession
      Be left in awe. The Kwando Private Reserve in the greater Kwando-Linyanti region spans an area 40 times the size of Manhattan. Sprawling over 232,000 hectares of unspoiled wilderness in northern Botswana (opposite Namibia’s Zambezi Region), this is a piece of very wild bush, and its astonishing ecological integrity supports incredible biodiversity. Off-road adventures track lions, leopards, cheetahs, and the swift African wild dogs.

      Kwara Private Concession
      The Kwara Private Concession spans 175,000-hectares in the northern reaches of the Okavango Delta and it’s where the wild things truly are. Here, papyrus-fringed channels weave through floodplains and savanna scrub, which leads to mopane woodlands, creating a mosaic of habitats that shelter everything from elusive sitatunga to swaggering lions. It’s raw, remote, and ridiculously rewarding — just how a safari should be.​

      Nxai Pan National Park
      Nxai Pan National Park is where epic skies meet shimmering salt pans and ancient baobabs pose like giant bonsai trees. It is dazzling, dusty terrain during the dry season with white pans stretching to the horizon, scattered with springbok, oryx, and the occasional lion padding across like royalty. Game drives here are about wide horizons, surprise sightings, and the magic of big, empty spaces, but you can also expect elephants at the waterhole and bat-eared foxes scrambling through the scrubland while giraffes gaze on.
