“The Greatest Safari on Earth was absolutely superb!”
Robert Chavez―Chairman, Hermes
“This was a trip of 100 lifetimes!”
Guest
“My husband and I got back from our ROAR AFRICA Greatest Safari on Earth trip two weeks ago. This was a trip of 100 lifetimes! There is no one who could show you Africa better than Deborah and her team. From start to finish, the trip was the height of luxury with unique experiences, special surprises and hassle free travel. It is the best of the best! I can't say enough good things about ROAR AFRICA - they made our trip so fun and exciting!”
“This is the best of the best.”
Guest
“If a trip to Africa is on your bucket list, this is the best of the best. Susan and I had a fabulous time! It was a fitting occasion to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary and the ROAR AFRICA team made it our most memorable one ever. The sights we saw, the friends we made, the food we enjoyed…. simply too much to list.”
The Okavango Delta, the world’s largest inland delta and an unimaginably beautiful flooded wilderness, offers opportunities for both land and water based safaris.
Experience a luxury safari in Botswana
Botswana offers a unique safari experience on both land and water while staying in luxury safari lodges and superb tented camps. Here, you are truly enveloped in the wonders of untamed nature and the unique wildlife that calls the country home.
The Moremi Game Reserve, one of the most iconic areas of the Okavango Delta, is often the highlight of a Botswana safari, renowned for its unparalleled game viewing and beautiful lodges nestled amidst the intricate waterways.
Then, there’s the sheer magic of the Kalahari Desert, an arid, staggeringly beautiful area covering a magnificent 350,000 square miles. Here, you might spend a night under the stars beneath the ancient, gnarled baobabs or explore the Makgadikgadi Pans, one of the largest salt pans in the world and an important habitat for migrating wildebeest and greater flamingo, as well as Africa’s biggest zebra population. Brown hyena call in the night, their taunting laugh leaving you guessing as to what they might be up to, and in the morning, you’ll wake to a mob of meerkats sunning themselves before they head out on their morning hunt.
Botswana is an iconic safari destination for a reason and the wildlife viewing – including leopards, elephants, lions, wild dogs and buffalo – is exceptional.
Botswana luxury safari experiences
Luxury travel in Botswana is defined by experiences, and the feeling of being fully immersed in nature as far away from the hustle and bustle of daily life as you can possibly be.
Mokoro safaris
Drift silently along the waterways of the Okavango Delta on a mokoro (a traditional, dugout canoe) for a close-up view of the birds and sometimes the elephant that amble along the banks.
Motorized boating
Cruise the glassy waterways and see the diverse wildlife that thrives in the lush, riverine habitat from shy sitatunga (a special type of extremely rare antelope) hiding in the papyrus fringes to elephant ambling in the shallows.
Horse riding
Splash through the shallows atop your steed or gallop alongside a dazzle of zebra - a horseback safari is an experience like no other.
Walking safaris
Don't overlook the fragile flora and fauna of Botswana. Slow down and discover the small miracles of the bush on a walking safari that will empower you to appreciate the intricacies of the landscape up-close.
Star gazing star beds
The southern hemisphere offers uninterrupted and beautifully clear night skies and Botswana is widely regarded as one of the best places in the world for stargazing. Spend a magical night under the cosmos and gaze at the distant, twinkling stars on a visual excursion you won't soon forget.
Game drives
Botswana is a premier safari destination for a reason. Alongside the iconic wildlife – elephants, leopards, buffaloes, zebra and giraffe – game drives will reveal other species such as the rare red lechwe, puku antelope, and the beautiful Pels fishing owl .
A birder’s paradise
Turn your gaze towards the skies and spot a variety of stunning avian life on your safari in Botswana from iconic raptors and eagles to the "specials" of the Okavango Delta, including the Kori bustard, wattled cranes, slaty egrets and the African skimmer.
