BOTSWANA

Botswana is pure wilderness where elephants roam in massive herds, and the rhythm of nature sets the pace. Glide through the Okavango Delta in a mokoro canoe, witness the Kalahari’s raw power, and watch predators rule the land in Chobe National Park. With vast open spaces of the Makgadikgadi Pansand some of Africa’s best conservation efforts, Botswana offers an exclusive safari experience that is as untamed as it is unforgettable.

The trip has been amazing, I've never felt more welcome in a group, and I would definitely recommend this tour to others.

"The campsites were all perfect—each with their own charm and all very clean. As nature travellers, we wondered about the comfort of the truck camp heads, but everything was great and there was lots of leg room and comfortable seats. We loved our trip and will always remember it as very special. Well done Drifters, thank you Duncan and Bheki."

I traveled with Drifters to Botswana in 1999, and it was a fantastic trip. I was happy to book with you again—this time, I brought my wife, and she loved it just as much as I did.

We had an unforgettable tour! The lodges were all fantastic with very nice, friendly people. We saw so much on the game drives, thanks to the game driver/guide Mac! Because of all these people and the nature, Drifters and Botswana have taken a big place in our hearts!
