Botswana Tours

A Botswana safari is the perfect way to explore this enormous landlocked country that covers 582 000 square kilometres of Africa’s great interior plateau. It measures more than 1100 km from north to south and 960 km from east to west. The Kalahari covers 85% of the country in the central and south-western areas. The area is largely flat, dry and intensely hot with sandy soils, thin grasslands and areas of woodland savannah that sustain a human population of little more than 1.6 million.

Some of the best reasons to sign up for a safari in Botswana include:

• Arts and Crafts:
  Botswana boasts a rich history of tribal culture that manifests itself in a world-famous arts and crafts tradition with particular emphasis on basketry.


• The Okavango:
  Botswana’s most visited tourist region, the Okavango has a unique ecology that is home to a multitude of wildlife and bird species. Visitors can view the area’s singular fauna and flora up close from a mokoro, a primitive dugout canoe that is used as transportation by local inhabitants. Experienced polers will guide guests through the magnificent waterways which open into majestic lagoons. Guests in this area can also expect to be treated to some of the best game viewing in the world.


• Tuli Block:
  A region that is close to the capital but often neglected on tourist itineraries, the Tuli Block is a fascinating study in geology and ecology as well as one of the prime areas to view the mineral wealth that this country has to offer.


• Gaborone:
  One of Africa’s newest capital cities with the highest economical growth in the region, this location provides a good introduction to the country and its culture with a variety of activities that will suit any visitor.


• Cultural History:
  The Botswana government has taken care to preserve its local traditions and protect its cultural heritage that spans many centuries, allowing Botswana safari participants access to everything from Stone Age artefacts, salt pan areas and a wealth of San rock art.

The wide range of activities, mixed with the abundance of wildlife and scenery on offer make a tour of Botswana something that each person should experience once in their lifetime. Journey into Africa has a wide range of tours on offer.
