Safaris in Botswana: the Okavango Delta, Chobe and tours with an Italian guide

A trip to Botswana means exploring vast wilderness areas, navigating the channels of the Okavango Delta, observing large herds of elephants in Chobe National Park and staying in lodges nestled in the heart of the African wilderness.

When to visit Botswana: the best time for a safari

Botswana can be visited all year round, but each season offers different experiences.

From May to October, the dry season is ideal for safaris.

Animals congregate near water and sightings are excellent.

From November to March, the wet season offers spectacular landscapes, births and excellent photographic opportunities.

How much does a safari in Botswana cost?

Botswana is an exclusive safari destination.

The decision to limit mass tourism and prioritise unspoilt natural areas makes many lodges more exclusive than those in other African destinations.

The cost depends on:

• travel period
• chosen lodges
• domestic flights
• duration of the safari
• areas visited

Every itinerary is tailor-made.
