Aside from its Smart Traveller green stamp of approval, Botswana boasts endless possibilities for the luxury lover, the rugged adventurer, the star gazer, the birder and the anthropologist. You can tear across the Magkadigkadi’s milky salt pan horizon on a quad bike or sit and watch the brooding thunderclouds roll across its vast emptiness; You can glide across silent waters, through clouds of dazzling birdlife, or approach a mighty herd of elephant on foot, heart in mouth as you step quietly closer; You can walk with the wizened San Bushmen or sit with the resident meerkats as they climb upon your head for a better view. At the end of a long day exploring you can sit by a campfire, then retreat to a five star hideaway or a simple mosquito net, soaking up the residual heat from the ground beneath you to drift off under a thick blanket of stars…

Botswana holds a very special place in our hearts. It’s a true success story of natural riches, visionary politics and sustainability – a paradise for creatures great and small.
