Discover Botswana with Roaming Africa

A Journey into the Heart of Africa

Welcome to Roaming Africa, your premier tour company specializing in authentic African experiences. Today, we invite you to explore the captivating landscapes, rich culture, and abundant wildlife of Botswana, a gem nestled in the heart of Southern Africa. Botswana is a land of contrasts, where vast deserts meet lush wetlands, and traditional villages coexist with modern cities. Join us on an unforgettable journey to this enchanting destination.

Why Choose Botswana?

Botswana stands out as a top travel destination for several compelling reasons:

  1. Pristine Wilderness: Botswana is renowned for its unspoiled natural beauty. With over 40% of its land dedicated to national parks and wildlife reserves, it offers some of the most undisturbed landscapes in Africa.
  2. Diverse Ecosystems: From the arid expanses of the Kalahari Desert to the lush greenery of the Okavango Delta, Botswana boasts a variety of ecosystems that support a wide range of flora and fauna.
  3. Exclusive Safari Experiences: Botswana's low-impact, high-quality tourism policy ensures that visitors can enjoy intimate and exclusive wildlife encounters without the crowds often found in other safari destinations.
  4. Rich Cultural Heritage: The vibrant culture of the Tswana people and other ethnic groups adds a fascinating dimension to any visit, with opportunities to experience traditional music, dance, and crafts.
Top Destinations in Botswana
  1. Okavango Delta: A UNESCO World Heritage site, the Okavango Delta is a sprawling inland delta that transforms into a lush animal habitat during the seasonal floods. Explore this unique ecosystem by mokoro (traditional dugout canoe), on foot, or via game drives.
  2. Chobe National Park: Known for its large elephant population, Chobe National Park offers some of the best wildlife viewing opportunities in Africa. The Chobe Riverfront is particularly famous for boat safaris, where you can see elephants, hippos, and crocodiles up close.
  3. Kalahari Desert: The Kalahari is a semi-arid sandy savanna that covers much of Botswana. Visit the Central Kalahari Game Reserve to see rare species such as the black-maned Kalahari lions and the elusive brown hyena.
  4. Makgadikgadi Pans: These vast salt pans are remnants of an ancient lake and provide a stark, surreal landscape. During the rainy season, the pans come alive with migratory birds and herds of zebras and wildebeest.
  5. Moremi Game Reserve: Located in the eastern side of the Okavango Delta, Moremi is renowned for its exceptional biodiversity and is one of the best places to see the Big Five – lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffalo.
Cultural Highlights

Botswana's cultural landscape is as diverse and fascinating as its natural one. Engage with local communities to learn about their traditions and way of life. Attend a traditional dance performance or visit a craft market to purchase beautifully made local handicrafts. For a deeper understanding of Botswana's history, visit the National Museum in Gaborone, the country's capital.

Travel Tips
  • Best Time to Visit: The ideal time for a safari in Botswana is during the dry season (May to October) when wildlife congregates around water sources. The Okavango Delta is best visited from June to August when the floodwaters are high.
  • Health and Safety: Botswana is one of Africa’s safest travel destinations. However, it's recommended to take malaria prophylaxis if you plan to visit during the wetter months. Ensure all routine vaccinations are up to date.
  • Travel Requirements: A visa is not required for most visitors from North America, Europe, and many other countries for stays up to 90 days. Always check the latest visa requirements before traveling.

I think, they were quite prompt in getting back whenever I had questions. They were comprehensive in telling us about vaccines, packing and general info. My contact Megan was easy and pleasant to speak to.

They helped support us through every transfer so that we did not have to navigate that on our own. In particular - there had been terrible floods in and around Nairobi May/June 2024 and this affected a ton of details for part of our trip. They handled all of that to create a trip that we will remember for the rest of our lives

I cannot fault the service of Roaming Africa. We have never been to Africa before and we’ were apprehensive about flying into Jo’Burg but were met by representatives and directed to our hotel. This trend was the norm for our whole trip.

This was my first time using a travel experience expert and they made our dreams come true. I cannot suggest them highly enough, especially for people who have no experience traveling to Africa and are overwhelmed with suggestions and options like I was. The process in selecting what was important in our travels and the experiences we were looking for was easy and straightforward. Meg then walked us through our options and what fit our budget, and then Lauren handled our travel preparation and updates. The Roaming Africa team was so helpful in answering our all question, providing information for all the activities, and making sure we felt confident in our schedule. This trip was a once in a lifetime experience that we will never forget and we absolutely recommend Roaming Africa for all our friends and family.
