Botswana Regions

Africa’s shining light, Botswana, is one of the last remaining true wilderness destinations; boasting a dramatically diverse ecological system which varies from the unique flood-waters of the Okavango Delta to the almost surreal, sun-baked salt-pans of the central Kalahari and the game-rich Chobe, Linyanti and Okavango Rivers - perfect variety for a luxury honeymoon in Botswana.

Botswana is home to some of Africa's finest wilderness areas and contains some of the continent's greatest game viewing experiences. Landlocked in the middle of Southern Africa.

Chobe National Park - named after the magnificent Chobe River - is the second largest national park in Botswana. Home to a huge number of animals, Chobe is one of the greatest concentrations of game, especially elephants, in the whole of Africa!

To the northeast of the Okavango Delta, the Chobe and Linyanti Game Reserves are renowned for their predators as well as being home to Africa’s highest concentration of elephants.

The Makgadikgadi is one of Botswana’s most stunning regions – Its right up there with the Okavango Delta, but for entirely different reasons, which makes it exciting!

The Moremi Wildlife Reserve encompasses the central and eastern areas of the Okavango Delta. An untouched wilderness, this areas boast rich flora and faunal scenes and is home to one of Africa’s finest selections of wildlife.

Rightly considered one of the most incredible wildlife and wilderness sanctuaries in Africa, the Okavango is the largest inland delta in the world – each year floodwaters flow from their source in the highlands of Angola and spread in the shape of a panhandle into a magical water-world of papyrus swamps, reed beds and floodplains.

The Savuti is a region with a story, as it hasn’t always been the safari haven it is today. The Savuti lies south of Linyanti in the western section of Chobe National Park in Botswana. The reason that it has gone through so much change is because it was previously under water thanks to the Savuti Channel, which last flowed in 1982.

The Selinda Reserve is a 320 000 acre private wildlife sanctuary in northern Botswana. This area is where the famous Selinda Spillway, which links the Okavango Delta to the Linyanti and Kwando wetlands. The area is big into eco-friendly projects and is very serious about its conservation.
