In town, curio vendors ply their trade between tour operators vigorously flogging the usual adrenaline-pumping […]

Chobe National Park

Mababe To Kasane. Bordered by the Chobe River to the north and home to a large marshland fed by the Savu Channel, Chobe National Park is where you’ll find one of the largest concentrations of wildlife in southern Africa. Access to the park is 4×4 only and while it’s large ‒ covering nearly 12 000km2 […]

Moremi Game Reserve

The Eastern Okavango Delta An attraction for 4×4 enthusiasts and a constant battle of nerves for the novice, Moremi’s poor roads – some of the bumpiest, sandiest, and most waterlogged in Botswana – are unavoidable, but they should never deter anyone from having one of the best wildlife experiences in the world. Although there are […]

Maun

The Gateway To The Okavango Delta If you’re visiting northern Botswana, chances are that you’ll be stopping in Maun for at least a day. It’s the gateway to the Okavango Delta and it’s positioned on the southern tip of one of the waterways that finger out from this ecological wonder. It’s the last vestige of […]

Okavango Panhandle

Maun To Mohembo And Back The western side of the Okavango Panhandle is rarely explored by those visiting Botswana, and is primarily used as a thoroughfare between Maun and Mohembo, the last village before the border to Namibia. Wildlife on the western side of the delta is not as prolific as in the areas to […]

Makgadikgadi & Nxai Pan

Ntwetwe Pan To Baines’ Baobabs MAKGADIKGADI PANS With only one main track and a few small loops to explore, a visit to this national park doesn’t present a lot of choices. Camping options are also limited: a large, well-maintained campsite at Khumaga and two small, basic camping areas in the center, Njuca Hills and Tree […]

Sua & Ntwetwe Pans

Kukonje And Kubu Islands To Gweta There are small pan systems scattered throughout Botswana, but when people talk of ‘the pans’ they mean Sua and Ntwetwe – roughly 8 000km2 of mud-crusted immensity, speckled with baobabs and isles of golden grass. Access to the pans is via a handful of dirt tracks that run roughly north-south […]

Central Kalahari Game Reserve

Exploring The North Central Kalahari There are many public-access camping areas in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR). Most of the game congregates around the pan systems to the north, which is also where you’ll find the popular camps and game-viewing tracks. Other than at the gates, there is no water at any of the […]

Khutse Game Reserve

Khutse Gate To The Central Kalahari Open a map of Botswana and the Central Kalahari is unmistakable: a vast, near-featureless expanse at almost dead centre. Tacked to the bottom, and often overlooked, is a roughly triangular protrusion ‒ a relatively small cluster of pans and campsites joined by a loop of Jeep track. This unobtrusive […]

Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park

Mabuasehube To Kaa The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park covers 37 256km2 of seasonal pans and Kalahari grassland to the east and west of the Nossob River – the natural border between Botswana and South Africa. Two Rivers (Twee Rivieren) Gate is the most-used entrance at the park’s southernmost p. Here you can choose to stay within park […]
