Botswana Safaris
Shaped by water and salt, Botswana is a land of elephant-lined channels, desert horizons and star-bright pans.
Often considered Africa’s most refined safari, Botswana protects vast, unfenced wilderness and around a quarter of the continent’s elephants. Here, great herds still move with the seasons.
Camps pair polish with purpose: low-impact design, outstanding guiding and access that shifts with the flood. One day you’re gliding by mokoro through the Okavango, the next, tracking predators on open savannah. The blend of wilderness, wildlife and quiet comfort makes a journey through Botswana hard to forget.
Highlights of Botswana
This 10-day journey explores two contrasting regions of the Okavango Delta, from a classic private concession rich in wildlife and varied activities, to a remote and little-visited corner where the focus is on exploration and discovery.

Illona Cross
Before joining Steppes Travel over 25 years ago, I spent a decade working as a ranger, guide and lodge manager across Southern and East Africa. It’s also a deeply personal place for me: I got married in Africa, honeymooned in Africa and still return every year with my family – proof that my love for the continent runs far deeper than just professional experience.
