Botswana Lodges are some of the most remote and luxurious lodges in the world. The Lodges of Botswana are set in areas which have largely been untouched by time and humanity. Vast migratory herds still roam free in the safari areas of Botswana. The main areas of interest are the Chobe National Park , the Okavango Delta which is protected in the Moremi Game Reserve and the desolate Makgadikgadi Pans.
The Botswana Lodge packages we offer depart from Johannesburg and connect to light charter flights in either Maun or Kasane. These camps and lodges host a small amount of people at a time. The Botswana Lodges range from comfortable to extremely luxurious. The emphasis at these lodges is always on exceptional service. Two game activities are conducted daily by experienced rangers and trackers. An African Lodge Safari in Botswana is the ultimate wilderness experience. The most popular Botswana Lodges include Okavango Delta Lodges and Chobe Lodges.
| We do not provide a complete listing of all the lodges found in Botswana, but rather packages to the Botswana Game and Safari Lodges we prefer in each area. African Sky has been offering fly in lodge packages to the lodges of Botswana since 1998. |
Larger than Spain and nearly the size of Texas, Botswana is a land of baking sand wedged between Namibia in the west, the Caprivi in the north, Zimbabwe in the east and South Africa in the South. About 85 per cent of its surface area consists of Kalahari sand, an ochre to light-brown mantle that carries the footprints, skeletons and fossils of 160 species of animal and an extraordinary community of hardy hunter-gatherers known as San.
Botswana’s commitment to conservation is considerable: national parks and game reserves cover 17 per cent of the country’s surface, while wildlife management areas cover a further 20 per cent. Botswana Lodges are spread throughout these areas. In the lush indigenous forests of the delta and its islands, and along the flood-plains spawned by this great marriage of water and sand, more that 400 species of bird flourish. On the mainland and among the islands lions, elephants, hyenas, wild dogs, rhinos, hippos and crocodiles congregate with a teeming variety of antelope and other smaller mammals – warthogs, mongooses, spotted genets, monkeys, bush babies and tree squirrels.
The Chobe National Park has 450 species of bird and most of the large mammals, as do the Botswana safari lodges and reserves of the Tuli Block. The Central Kalahari, too, will impress even the most seasoned game watchers. Destinations such as the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Mabausehube, Kutse and the Makgadikgadi Pans usually require four-wheel-drive vehicles and are best visited in a convoy of 4 X 4’s or with a registered safari company. When visiting Botswana Lodges you are assured of an unforgettable safari experience. |
