Northern Botswana Safari

The ultimate guide to your next safari in Northern Botswana

View 52 Botswana tours Start Planning

The vast and thinly populated north of Botswana is home to two legendary Botswana safari destinations: the watery Okavango Swamp and drier Chobe National Park.

Many would rank the 12,000-square-kilometre Okavango Swamp as one of Africa’s top five safari destinations. A vast inland delta formed by the Kavango River as it is swallowed by the Kalahari sands, this lushly vegetated wetland – best explored in a type of dugout canoe known as a mokoro – possesses a peaceful and intimate atmosphere. It is also home to an excellent range of wildlife, from lions and African wild dogs to a veritable infestation of crocs and hippos. And the birding is simply superb, whether you are seeking out the localised slaty egret and coppery-tailed coucal or just want to enjoy the colourful parade of bee-eaters, kingfishers and other water-associated species.
