OPTIONS ON EXPLORING AND DISCOVERING BOTSWANA

There are many ways to explore Botswana and while the country is accessible by road, many of the top wildlife areas can only be reached by air charter, so the best option is to take the daily scheduled flight from Johannsburg to Maun - the outback capital on the fringes of the Okavango Delta.

From there, your charter flight sweeps across the labyrinth of waterways before touching down at your camp. These lodges, usually catering to between 12 and 20 guests, are situated in their own private concession areas, so the wildlife experience is quite unlike many safari destinations where visitors frequently encounter other vehicles on game drives. This is exclusive Africa travel at its best!

Beside fly in safaris, travelers can also do the Okavango and Chobe overland in small groups on luxury or participatory camping safaris. Then there is the option of a horse-back or exclusive elephant back safari, while Stanley's Camp now also offers hot air balloning. In the wide expanses of the Makgadikgadi, adventurers can explore the salt flats on quad bikes before savoring the silence and sanctity of an ancient rock outcrop.
