BOTSWANA – JULY 2026: NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC LAND OF DELTAS & DESERTS
BOTSWANA IS A TRUE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC LAND – A WILDERNESS WHERE THE VAST DESERTS OF THE KALAHARI COLLIDE WITH THE WATERS OF THE OKAVANGO DELTA, CREATING ONE OF AFRICA’S MOST EXTRAORDINARY LANDSCAPES. THIS JOURNEY TAKES YOU INTO THE LEGENDARY DELTA WITH ITS CHANNELS, LAGOONS, AND ABUNDANT WILDLIFE, ACROSS THE IMMENSE SALT PANS OF MAKGADIKGADI, INTO THE SACRED TSODILO HILLS WITH THEIR MILLENNIA-OLD ROCK ART, AND FINALLY TO THE MIGHTY CHOBE RIVER, HOME TO THE LARGEST ELEPHANT POPULATION ON EARTH.
EXPECT SAFARIS BY BOAT, JEEP, AND MOKORO, NIGHTS UNDER ENDLESS SKIES IN REMOTE SLEEP-OUTS, ENCOUNTERS WITH LIONS, LEOPARDS, AND WILD DOGS, AND MEANINGFUL CULTURAL CONNECTIONS WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES. BOTSWANA IS WILD, REMOTE, AND UTTERLY UNFORGETTABLE – A JOURNEY STRAIGHT OUT OF A NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC DOCUMENTARY.
