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 safari areas in which Botswana Lodges are located are the Chobe National Park, the Okavango Delta which is protected in the Moremi Game Reserve and the desolate Makgadikgadi Pans.

The Botswana Lodges we suggest are most easily accessible from Johannesburg. The packages we offer to the lodges of Botswana connect to light charter flights in either Maun or Kasane from where guests are flown to the lodge or camp in the package. These camps and lodges host a small amount of people at a time and provide and exceptional wilderness experience. 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.

We do not provide a complete listing of all Botswana Lodges. But rather offer 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.

Botswana Lodges are located in a country 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, 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. The Lodges of Botswana are located in these areas of unique geology and ecology.

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 in the areas surrounding Botswana Lodges. 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.
