Our Wilderness Travel Designers have all lived or worked in our destinations. We have a highly experienced team of professional safari guides, bush pilots and camp managers designing safaris for our guests. Their first-hand experience of Africa, of our camps and Africa as a whole, is core to the way we work at Wilderness. A phone conversation is always the best way to start designing a safari that's perfectly tailored to you.

Don’t just take our word for it

A Botswana holiday to remember

Our all-time favourite holiday

“We had an amazing stay. The wildlife density in the area is incredible – we had multiple leopard, cheetah, and lion sightings. Our guide was very experienced and had a ton of knowledge. The vegetation in the area is also beautiful and very varied. The camp itself was also very beautiful, with a pretty pool and bar area and extremely attentive, warm staff. We felt very welcomed, and everyone made sure that all expectations were exceeded.”

“We just booked our second adventure in Botswana with Wilderness. Starting from the moment of contact until you are back home checking out all your amazing safari pics, well, this is the only way to go. Friendly, caring, diligent, Wilderness makes sure this is a trip of a lifetime no matter your budget.”

We’re with you on the ground, at your side, 24-7, from start to finish.

All you need to know

Is it safe?

Ready to take the road less travelled? You can rest easy knowing that your Botswana safari vacation is safe in our hands. Our industry-leading safety and logistics support, Wilderness24, gives you instant on-the-ground assistance for anything and everything that might arise. Our private charter airline Wilderness Air will get you to our remote camps safely. And our industry-leading guides have an uncommon ability for understanding wildlife, allowing for exceptional encounters where both you and the wild can coexist peacefully.

How many camps do you typically visit?

With over 20 Wilderness camps in Botswana, the options for your safari journey are endless. That said, our custom-designed journeys typically include two to four nights at each camp and how many camps you visit is entirely dependent on the duration of your trip. With short airplane transfers between camps, you’ll also get the unique opportunity to see Botswana from above. Unique scenery, wildlife, and cultures are waiting to be revealed, and we at Wilderness can’t wait to share them with you.

Do you cater for different dietary requirements?

Yes, we cater for different dietary requirements at our camps where delicious cuisine is a definitive highlight of your safari experience. Expect a range of healthy, delicious recipes that tread lightly on the Earth, designed to highlight indigenous ingredients sourced from the areas surrounding our camps, or grown directly in the gardens surrounding your accommodation.

What does a typical day on safari look like?

A typical day on safari in Botswana is dictated by nature, and your own desires. Get closer to Botswana’s wildlife on morning and afternoon game drives. Slow down and enjoy the finer details of our wild places on a guided walk and marvel at the things you’d miss when in a vehicle. Glide along Botswana’s Okavango Delta in a mokoro, a traditional Botswana dugout canoe, to discover the wealth of birds, reed frogs, and water lilies. Go by boat or barge to get closer to hippos and elephants on the water. Relax by the pool, at the spa, or in an underground hide at camp. You may even choose to swap a night in your tent for a sleep out under the night sky with our Botswana Star Bed experience. The choice is all yours.
