One of Africa’s best destinations for viewing wildlife, Botswana has legend status.
From the salt pans of the Makgadikgadi to the endless terrain of the Central Kalahari, Chobe National Park and the Okavango Delta, each offers its own distinct ecosystem and mesmerising flora and fauna.
Botswana has cleverly developed an exclusive sustainable safari offering that avoids the pitfalls of mass tourism where, with A&K, guests bed down in small luxurious camps and lodges on private reserves in pristine wilderness areas. Many are only accessible by light aircraft, attracting a more discerning traveller and a more exclusive safari experience without being elbow-to-elbow with other visitors.
Thanks to its notable commitment to conservation, Botswana is also a leader in ecotourism. Much of the land is protected and with A&K you can visit, contribute to or get involved with one of its many conservation projects.

Botswana’s climate can be distinguished by two seasons: wet and dry. Year-round wildlife viewing is possible but travel experiences are influenced by the seasons. For instance, many of the waterways of the Okavango Delta can become inaccessible during the wettest months from January to March, but this is the best time to witness the migration of herds across the Kalahari desert.
Botswana’s wet season paints the tablelands and waterways green with vegetation between November and April. The weather can be hot with short bursts of afternoon rain. January and February can be particularly wet with continuous rainfall. Animals can be harder to spot amongst the abundance of new vegetation but the scenery is sensational.
In the dry season, between May and August, temperatures are mild and pleasant. It’s wise to pack a jumper for cooler morning and evening safari drives. As rainfall is minimal, animals congregate around waterholes and rivers making them easier to spot. Even though this winter period is the peak travel season, national parks still feel uncrowded. By September, the landscape is drying off and temperatures rise, with October becoming very hot.
