Botswana Safari: the Highlights

A mighty gray wall is reflected in the Chobe River. Around forty elephants fill their trunks at the same time and splash the cool water into their mouths with relish. The day is hot, the young animals frolic through the water and roll from head to tail in the shallow stream. The watchful eye of the lead cow never leaves the calves, even if the dangers are manageable. Lions don't mess with an elephant herd of this size, the crocodiles have long since fled from the roar and the hippos have also had to realize that they don't have enough fighting weight today. More than 100,000 elephants live in the Chobe-Hwange region between Botswana and Zimbabwe and your safari boat offers you a unique box seat to observe the gray giants from the front row on your Botswana safari.natural wonder Okavango Delta (UNESCO) and pure wilderness in the Moremi-Khwai regionCurtain up for your Botswana safari! In the leading roles: three pristine national parks, the largest inland delta in the world and the majestic Victoria Falls. To kick things off, you have the opportunity to marvel at the Okavango Delta from the air on an optional helicopter flight. Discover the seemingly endless water arms of the Okavango Delta in a mokoro, the traditional dugout canoe. Explore the evergreen landscape in the middle of the dry Kalahari and experience the African wilderness up close on a game drive. The adjacent Moremi-Khwai Conservation Area then awaits with an enormous abundance of large mammals and is considered one of the best places for spotting big cats. On numerous game drives in an open four-wheel drive vehicle, you explore the forests and lagoons along the Khwai River and follow the tracks of lions and leopards.Elephant paradise Chobe National Park, the "Big Five" in Hwange and Victoria Falls (UNESCO)The floodplains of the Chobe River and the dry savannahs of Hwange National Park are known for their countless pachyderms. The park is considered Big Five territory, as rhinos also live there. On a boat safari on the Chobe, you can observe buffalo, zebras and giraffes at close range. The final act of the trip takes place at the Victoria Falls, where the mighty Zambezi plunges crashingly into the depths and you watch the glowing red sun sink into the river on a sunset cruise. This Botswana safari is framed by natural accommodation such as classic safari camps, deliciously sophisticated dining delights and the starry southern sky.
