Botswana accommodation options
Untouched landscapes, eco-tourism and a variety of adventurous activities, like mokoro cruises, guided game walks, cultural tours and Big 5 game spotting safaris, make Botswana a popular safari destination with fantastic options for Botswana accommodation.
Botswana’s careful accommodation development means there are relatively fewer properties compared to other safari destinations, but you’ll still be spoiled for choice for Botswana safari lodges, game lodges and tented camps in Botswana.Â
Botswana stakes claim to Africa’s second biggest migration route, which means you’ll see massive herds of zebra, wildebeest and buffalo, which attract throngs of top predators.
Botswana Safari Lodges, Game Lodges & Tented Camps
Of all the safari destinations in Africa, Botswana has put possibly the most effort into its tourism business and infrastructure, offering some of the best Botswana safari lodges, luxury Botswana game lodges and tented camps for Botswana safari holidays . Many of Botswana’s camps are unique both in destination and character and none are fenced, allowing for the free movement of wildlife throughout the region.Â
The Okavango
Delta, Moremi Game Reserve and Chobe National Park are some of the most iconic destinations where you’ll find some of the best accommodation in Botswana.
Top Botswana lodges include popular land-based safari lodges in Chobe and Moremi as well as water-based game lodges in the Okavango Delta and remote Botswana tented camps in the Kalahari. Situated in prime game viewing areas, Botswana accommodation features stunning landscapes and exceptional wildlife spotting opportunities close to your Botswana safari lodge, game lodge or Botswana tented camp.Â
Botswana’s low-density tourism and eco-friendly lodges make it a stunning destination for your safari vacation. Chief’s Island, in the heart of the Moremi Game Reserve, is a massive sand island that covers 1000km2 of the central Delta region. On the north-western tip of Chief’s Island lies one of the Okavango’s most famous game viewing areas, the Mombo concession. When the water levels of the Okavango Delta rise during winter floods, many animals move to find dry land on the island.
Botswana has designed an Ecotourism Certification System to encourage tourism businesses to support responsible environmental, social, and cultural behaviour.Â
In the Chobe National Park area, Chobe Game Lodge’s game vehicles are all 100% electric and only 5% of their waste is disposed of in a local landfill site. In the Okavango Delta, most camps are run on solar power and Botswana tented camps are designed to leave no trace once packed up. To support local communities, most camps are involved in projects like schools and clinics and fresh produce is bought from local farmers.Â
Botswana’s Chobe and Savuti regions constitute a rich diversity of habitats that fall mostly within the boundaries of Chobe National Park, Botswana’s oldest wildlife reserve. Chobe National Park is located in the north-east of Botswana, falling within the convergence of two major biomes: Kalahari savanna meets broad-leaved and acacia woodland as well as Zambezi teak forest. Wherever you choose to spend your safari vacation, the country’s got you covered with some of the top Botswana safari lodges, luxury Botswana game lodges and excellent Botswana tented camps on the continent.
