Home Traveler Resources Webinars Africa Webinars Botswana: The Heart of Wildest Africa

Whether you’re witnessing the explosion of “bush babies” during the Kalahari’s green season, vast herds of elephant converging on a water hole, or the Okavango Delta’s profusion of lion, leopard and wild dog, Botswana’s prolific wildlife is legendary. This is coupled with diverse ecosystems that range from glittering arid salt pans to acacia forests and lush emerald marshes Experienced by 4x4, mokoro and on foot—plus a doors-off helicopter flight on special photography-focused trips—Botswana is a nature lover’s dream come true. Changing seasons let you witness the movement of black-maned lions, cheetah, hyena, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest and buffalo, while hippos and crocodiles linger in the marshy channels. Take a virtual Botswana safari with Nat Hab Expedition Leader Thuto Moutloatse, who Outside magazine named “Best Safari Guide on the Planet,” traveling into the wonders of a modern conservation mecca brimming with wildlife and nostalgic tented camps.
