Specialist safaris Botswana's substantially contrasting habitats and sophisticated safari industry makes it an ideal destination for those seeking a more exclusive safari. This is further enhanced by the low volume high yield economic approach by the authorities and industry which has had a positive influence on the quality of safaris in Botswana.  The sensitive environments are also well respected by operators who have tended to specialise to a very high degree. The result is a sensible balance that consistently ensures a highly productive safari experience in Africa.  Mobile safaris Botswana's poor road infrastructure is ideal for keeping the hordes at bay and provides a few well-equipped and highly competent operators with an excellent opportunity to provide a selection of some of Africa's best mobile safaris.  Duration and seasonal timing is important, if planned correctly mobile safaris are arguably the best way to explore the fuller diversity of Botswana.  Fly-in safaris Most of Botswana's best safari secrets are remote and secluded. If you're short on time but want a broad experience then the fly-in safaris are the best mode of travel.  Fly-in safaris can be suited by taste to specific camps on a totally tailor-made safari basis or alternatively on a fixed duration basis covering the Okavango and Linyanti/Savuti regions (plan on a minimum of 8 safari-days for the latter).  Mokoro trails Dug-out canoe trips are synonymous with the Okavango Delta - "mokoro" singular, "mekoro" plural. The best places are in the permanently flooded zone of the Delta - look at Little Vumbura, Jedibe and Xigera.  Many camps in the seasonally flooded zone offer mokoro trails but this is often a question of seasonal timing and conditions following the previous flood.  If you're looking for a water based safari then consider the canoe safari options on the Zambezi River.  Walking safaris Walking trails are offered at most of the camps and lodges that we utilise. Two walking safaris are particularly recommended, one in the Selinda the second at Jack's Camp. [walking safari guide...]  Self-drive safaris Botswana has a poor road infrastructure by comparison with Namibia, Zimbabwe and South Africa.  Many of the better locations are seasonally off-limits in the extreme and even when conditions are good they're unadulterated 4x4 turf. Good planning is essential and extra time to explore should be allowed for.
