Where to stay

Okavango Delta

In the north of Botswana, the Okavango River, an inland delta, forms an impressive ecosystem. Here, the river meets a geological barrier where most of the water is absorbed by plants, seeps away and evaporates. At over 20,000 square kilometres, the Okavango Delta is one of the largest wetlands in Africa. Its special feature is that the peak water level in the delta is reached when there is drought in the surrounding regions. This creates the basis for a particularly diverse fauna. The Okavango Delta is part of the 444,000 square kilometre Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area, which was established in 2012 and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2014. The Moremi Game Reserve extends over 5,000 square kilometres in the central and eastern part of the delta.

Chobe National Park

Renowned for its huge elephant populations, large herds of buffalo and incredible birdlife, Chobe National Park will be remembered forever. In fact, where else can you find such stunning riverfront with vibrant wildlife, undisturbed predators, paradisiacal landscapes and tranquil lodges? Most accessible area of the park is the Chobe riverbank, where you will also find the greatest concentration of wildlife. If you’re looking for an area with more predators, head to the Linyanti Swamps. Alternatively, soak up the atmosphere in the remote Savuti area. Regardless of where you are in the park, wildlife encounters are plentiful and the whole of Chobe feels like true wilderness. It is a place that everyone can enjoy: Couples, families and experienced Africa travellers.

Moremi Game Reserve

Welcome to the oldest protected section of the Okavango Delta in Botswana.

A hundred years after the explorer David Livingstone described this land as “land full of rivers”, the environment and wildlife in the Moremi area were under serious threat. The courageous Batawana people are to thank for this area being declared a Moremi Game Reserve in 1963, making it the oldest and first protected reserve in the Okavango Delta. As much as 40% of the Okavango is part of the UNESCO-protected Okavango Delta Game Reserve. Moremi and the Okavango Delta are one of the few inland delta systems that do not flow directly into the ocean or sea. Yearly flooding makes for spectacular interaction between water and wildlife, as animals synchronise their cycle with this seasonal flood. Experience a truly unique area when you stay at one of the intimate lodges in Moremi and let the river take you on an adventure.

Linyanti

Located in northern Botswana, the Selinda Reserve is a 320,000-hectare private game reserve and features the Selinda Spillway, which connects the reserve to the Linyanti Wildlife Management Area, a hidden gem in the north-eastern corner of Chobe National Park.

Connecting Linyanti to the Okavango Delta, the Selinda Spillway is known as one of the best game viewing areas in the region, hosting a wide variety of wildlife with large herds of elephant, buffalo and zebra.
Due to its remoteness, the Linyanti is a beautiful, unspoilt area with waterways and lagoons, riverine forests, huge trees and palm islands. In both the wet and dry seasons, the game viewing opportunities are excellent and the birding is also exceptional.

Mashatu Game Reserve

Be charmed by the vast open spaces, biodiversity of wildlife, majestic skies and the tranquility interspersed with birdsong and sounds of the wild.

Located in the Northern Tuli Game Reserve of Botswana which is situated between the Tuli Safari Area, a national park in Zimbabwe and the Mapungubwe National Park, a World Heritage Site in South Africa. Mashatu shares unfenced borders with both the South African and Zimbabwean national parks in the south and north respectively. This vast area forms part of a cross boundary wildlife conservation area protecting the substantial biodiversity of fauna and flora in this region.
