Why Botswana - Botswana Tour Packages

Botswana, the country derives its name from Batswana, the largest ethnic group in the country. The unforgettable wilderness, the Kalahari sand dunes, the splendid waterways of the Okavango and the prolific wildlife, make it a jewel in the continent. A peaceful country, it is known for its diamonds, beef and bush culture. Interaction with the locals will make you marvel at their knowledge and instincts for survival, in some really harsh conditions. This pristine country remains a destination for the fearless traveler.

Safari with the Wanderers: We take you back to the days of the early African explorers, and why not? A continent as fascinating and adventurous as Africa deserves a unique experience. The essential comforts are provided along with a perfect ambience consisting of walk-in Meru tents, pure cotton linens, brass buckets and basins, and stall showers. The setting is enhanced with hurricane lanterns, lively camp fires, wide-ranging activities and a warm atmosphere. Expert and professionally trained guides take you on a memorable safari experience. Walking trails, jeep rides and the ‘Mokoro’ bring you closer to the animals. As you sleep at night under a star-lit sky, you can hear the elephant herds roaring by.

The “Mokoro”: Not surprisingly, the people of the Okavango delta are called as ‘People of the Mokoro’. The 1, 00,000 tribesmen living here use the small dug out canoe, the Mokoro to navigate through the delta. It was originally made by the Bayei fishermen of Botswana, who lived by the river. Our safaris use the Mokoro to take you through the small rivers and the marshes, with the locals as guides.

Bushmen: The safaris also give you a better insight into the incredible people of Africa. You will be amazed to see their connection with nature and wildlife. The Bugakwe and Xanekwe are the Bushmen or San people, original inhabitants of southern Africa. They are hunters-gatherers.

Health: You must take a malaria vaccination before going on a safari. A prophylaxis is also recommended after the trip. We recommend drinking only mineral water throughout the trip. However, the meals served at the camps are totally hygenic.

Best time to Visit: We adapt with the changing seasons so as to provide the best possibilities of wildlife viewing on an annual basis. Therefore, between 1 December and 31 May, to maximise the possibility of viewing the zebra migration and other game that moves between Linyanti and Savute at this time, the safari switches a night from Linyanti to Savute in the Chobe National Park. Please note that the zebra are usually all back in the Linyanti region by the end of May, which heralds the end of the migration. If rains are poor, this migration usually does not occur.
