Botswana offered a total immersion in the bush with tracking of animals in their natural habitat.

We did a self-drive from S. Africa to Muan, Botswana in order to go on a mobile camping safari in Moremi Park in the Okavango Delta. The 7 hour drive to Muan was an experience in itself. Wide open country with salt pans and bush on the fringe of the Kalahari desert. Easy driving, good roads and very few cars or towns. Muan was a bustling centre serving the tourist trade for the Okavango delta. We stayed at Cresta Riley's coming and going from our camping safari, a lovely hotel with great food & service and full amenities. We went on safari with Boteti Safari's who were fabulous. The game drives in the Moremi Game Reserve were supherb. We saw all kinds of wildlife up close. So many elephant herds, giraffes, zebras and all sorts of deer. In addition to seeing lions, a highlight was a mother leopard and her cub coming out of the bush right next to us. We just can't say enough about Bostwana. The people are lovely and very welcoming, the scenery and night skies are breathtaking,
Read more and the wildlife is spectacular. Best of all was the camping experience with no boundaries and with wildlife around you. Needless to say we kept our tents well zipped at night. After 5 days in Kruger Park, S. Africa we found Botswana a much more natural and immersive experience.

We loved our game drives and saw so many amazing animal interactions. We got so close up to lions feeding and saw cubs, wild dogs, and a lot of other beautiful animals. We did not enjoy walking safari’s or boat rides. The people we met in Botswana were very kind and thoughtful. We were served great food and all lodgings were very nice.

We had a lovely time in Botswana, a country with many massive protected parks. We visisted several of them allowing us to see many many animals as well as different landscapes from the Kalahari desert to Chobe via the Okovango delta. A huge area of wilderness, not many tourists, it felt really like an adventure as we did a mobile camping safari that we definitley recommend with Shipungo Safari! We spend many nights looking at the stars in the wilderness, listening to all the animals living there. The people and our guides were lovely as well, we felt safe. The weather was nice in May, dry and not too hot. Definitely recommend it, we loved it! And we finished with the Victoria falls in near Zimbabwe to conclude 2 wonderful weeks.

We had a great one-day trip to Chobe, Botswana while staying on the Zimbabwe side of Victoria Falls.
Doing both a game drive and safari cruise on the river, we saw so many animals. Our guides were all great; friendly and knowledgeable.

Once-in-a-lifetime experience on safari in Botswana! Have been on safari in other African countries, and this one by far takes the cake. The wildlife is pristine and undisturbed, there is no over-tourism. Guides are knowledgeable and lovely. Food is exquisite. Highly recommend a trip to Botswana if you are looking to do a safari!

Bateti Tented Safari Lodge was beautiful but swimming pool was not available as was being renovated, and would have been useful in this hot month. Extremely good staff and good service.

We loved our trip to Botswana! We went to see the wildlife and had the chance to experience wildlife in several different locations from our drive between Gaborone to Maun and then on our safari in the Okavango Delta. I highly recommend trying to drive through part of the country/combine the traditional Moremi/Chobe safari with some other stops. We loved visiting Orapa - both the diamond mine and wildlife park are fascinating. We also found our visit to the Khama Rhino Sanctuary a huge highlight. We felt very safe in all our stops and did a lot of shopping in local stores etc.
