Once upon a time a safari holiday was more about adventure than comfort. Holiday makers could expect to see some of nature’s most amazing sights, watch some of the world’s most beautiful animals in their own habitat and return enlightened but if they expected luxury they would be sorely disappointed. But those days are long gone. Now safari holidays offer both adventure and opulence and vacationers can enjoy the best of both worlds.
Botswana has one of the most breathtaking landscapes in Africa, from the barren desert of the Kalahari to the wonder of the Okavango Delta.
An organised nine day vacation through this stunning region with an African safari tour operator would include accommodation in luxury safari lodges in Botswana and the beautiful Victoria Falls Hotel. In the Okavango Delta, enjoy mokoro rides, and Delta nature walks, and the chance to see the vast elephant herds characteristic of the area.
To begin the trip you will depart Maun for the Okavango Delta Nxabega Safari Camp, exploring the waterways by canoe.
The vacation includes trips to the Moremi Wildlife Reserve Khwai River Lodge, a night-drive on private concession and visits to Central Chobe National Park which is well known for predatory species. There is also the opportunity to take a Sundowner river-cruise sipping cocktails as the sun sets.
The luxury lodges are located in stunning settings and all offer five star luxury. (below: Sanctuary Baines’ Camp)
