Safaris in Botswana: A Journey into the Wild
You can genuinely lose yourself in the heart of the African bush when visiting Botswana, which is well-known for its unspoiled landscapes where wild nature thrives. You will get the opportunity to see amazing animals up close and personal because of the country's commitment to conservation and low-impact tourism.
A Botswana safari offers you the chance to encounter some of the most sought-after animals in the world in their natural habitat, including elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos, and an amazing variety of bird species. Botswana's various ecosystems provide an exciting experience for both novice and experienced safari travellers.
The Okavango Delta in Botswana provides a private block safari experience that guarantees opulent camps with extensive access to the environment. The excitement of being the only vehicle there during a leopard sighting heightens the attraction. Usually reached through Johannesburg, South Africa, the route takes one to Kasane or Maun, where one may connect to Delta charter aircraft.
A side trip to Zambia or Zimbabwe to see the magnificent Victoria Falls would be the ideal way to wrap up the safari. They are easily accessible and offer an amazing climax. An amazing African journey combines exclusive animal encounters with the breathtaking backdrop of Victoria Falls.
The options are limitless in exploring the diverse landscape Botswana has to offer. From the Chobe River to the Kalahari Desert and the rich wilderness found in the Okavango Delta, there are a plethora of landscapes waiting to be explored.

Optimal Timing for a Botswana Safari: A Year-Round Adventure
Botswana offers year-round safari opportunities; each season brings a unique charm to your adventure and you can visit multiple times and experience something completely different. The best time to go largely depends on what you're looking for:
1. Dry Season (May to October)
As with many safari experiences, this season is unsurprisingly one of the most popular and is prime time for wildlife viewing as the dry conditions force animals to gather around scarce watering holes, making it easier to spot them.
2. Green/Wet Season (November to April)
As the rains quench the land’s thirst, the landscapes and wilderness burst into life. At this time of year many species will give birth to their young. Lush landscapes provide additional shelter for animals creating the perfect conditions for the cycle of life to renew. Although this can make searching for wildlife more challenging, our expert guides know exactly how to find these animals and the result is even more rewarding.
Explore Botswana: Unforgettable Experiences
Botswana is an amazing nation with much more to offer. Take a mokoro ride (traditional boat) along pristine rivers and enjoy the tranquillity of this unique habitat. Don't miss the chance to discover the Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Visiting the Makgadikgadi Pans, the largest salt flats in the world is also a must. Here, you can witness the surreal beauty of endless horizons and maybe even catch the annual zebra migration.
As compelling as Botswana's animals and scenery are, its people and culture are equally as captivating. All of our safaris at Kusini Safaris are curated with conservation at the forefront and ensuring an ethical approach is taken.
