Experience up-close encounters with elephants on a boating safari in Chobe<\/p><\/div>\n

Classic Botswana<\/h2>\n

This quintessential journey<\/a> will whisk you through Botswana\u2019s<\/a> favourite spots in the ultimate luxury. The trip begins in Botswana\u2019s most famous destination, the Okavango Delta<\/a>, an 18,000 square-kilometre wilderness that teems with wildlife. Explore from the sky on helicopter safaris and slightly closer to ground level with mokoro adventures on the spindly waterways, before making your way to the wildlife wonderland of Linyanti<\/a>. Here you can expect big cats, enormous herds of elephants and (the biggest luxury of all) not too many other people. Your last stop will be Chobe<\/a> where you\u2019ll take to the river on lazy sunset boat cruises and tick off the last of your bucket-list sightings. Your final stop will be Victoria Falls<\/a>, one of the most magnificent waterfalls in the world. Technically not in Botswana, it\u2019s worth the extra travel as truly, there\u2019s not another sight quite like it in the world.<\/p>\n

Soar over the Delta in a helicopter<\/p><\/div>\n

And to heighten your luxury experience\u2026<\/h2>\n

If your trip includes a few days in the Okavango Delta<\/a>, there\u2019s nothing quite like a doors-off helicopter flight to take your safari to new heights. At camps like Beagle Expeditions – Kweene Trails<\/a>, the only way to reach it is by helicopter (privacy is the greatest luxury of all) while other camps and lodges offer scenic flights for the ultimate vantage point of the Delta. You might just stop on a secluded palm island for a glass of bubbly\u2026<\/p>\n

Staying at one of Botswana\u2019s<\/a> exclusive lodges or camps is another way of really upping the ante, with a private staff and guided vehicle to ensure your safari goes beyond all expectations. Situated on Chief\u2019s Island in the Okavango Delta, Little Mombo Camp<\/a> has just 3 tented suites; and set beside the shimmering Zibadianja Lagoon in the Linyanti Selinda Concession, Zarafa Camp<\/a> is unapologetically luxe.<\/p>\n

Botswana\u2019s lodges and camps also have a knack for taking bucket list moments and making them exceptional. Many offer intimate, candlelit dinners in the wilderness \u2013 from silent pans to private islands. There are also a selection of lodges with a luxuriating spa, from Xigera Safari Lodge<\/a>\u2019s award-winning offering to the wonderful pampering available at Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is also possible to have your entire trip led by the same guide, offering a more immersive, intimate and high-quality experience. Your guide will really have the chance to learn your hopes for the trip, tailoring every moment and seeking out those sightings that will really take your breath away.<\/p>\n

A southern African safari hotspot, Botswana certainly offers plenty of opportunity to embrace that sense of luxury in the midst of sensational wilderness. From gorgeous properties to unique and unforgettable experiences, there\u2019s nothing quite like a luxury safari in Botswana.<\/p>\n
