Botswana Practical Tips

Access & Travel

  • Most journeys begin in Maun or Kasane, reached via Johannesburg. From there, scenic light-aircraft flights link the Okavango Delta, Moremi Game Reserve, and Chobe National Park, as well as private concessions in the Kalahari. All transfers are privately managed, ensuring effortless movement and spectacular aerial views of Botswana’s waterways and floodplains.

    Accommodation & Guiding

  • Every Diamond Skies Travel safari in Botswana is fully guided, with expert naturalists and professional hosts throughout. Lodges and camps are small in scale yet world-class in design — elegant tented suites or architectural lodges featuring private decks, pools, and panoramic wilderness views.

    Sustainability

  • Botswana is a pioneer of the “low-volume, high-value” safari model. Many of the lodges we partner with fund conservation, anti-poaching, and community employment programmes. Travelling here directly supports the protection of these pristine habitats.

    Combining Destinations

  • Botswana pairs beautifully with Victoria Falls via Kasane, or with Cape Town and the Winelands for a blend of wilderness and culture. It also combines naturally with Namibia for a dramatic desert-and-delta contrast.

Best Time to Visit Botswana

  • May to October: Dry season, best for game viewing as wildlife gathers near water.

  • November to April: The green season brings dramatic skies, rich colours and fewer visitors. Many animals give birth at this time, so the bush is alive with young wildlife and excellent birding.

what you could see in Botswana

• Elephants in vast herds at Chobe
• Hippos, leopards and wild dogs in the Okavango Delta
• Birdlife on the floodplains (fish eagles, kingfishers, bee-eaters)
• Desert landscapes and meerkats in the Makgadikgadi Pans

Still, shimmering waters. Endless golden floodplains. Herds of elephants moving like shadows through the reeds.

This is Botswana, one of Africa’s most pristine wildernesses and home to the legendary Okavango Delta, where land and water blend into a dreamlike mosaic of channels, lagoons and islands.

Float quietly by mokoro through the Delta’s mirrored waterways, watching kingfishers flash past and hippos rise from the depths. Explore Moremi Game Reserve and Chobe National Park, where lions stalk buffalo across open savannah and great elephant herds gather at sunset. Then retreat each evening to a hand-picked lodge or private camp, where luxury lies in space, silence and the thrill of being close to nature.

With Diamond Skies Safaris, your luxury Botswana safari is created entirely around you. Drift through the Delta, sleep beneath starlit skies in the Makgadikgadi Pans, or combine your adventure with a few days of calm beside the Zambezi. Every detail is designed for wonder.
