Set in the enthralling Okavango Delta, the Duba Plains Private Reserve is one of the best places to start exploring Botswana's wild areas. The landscape is characterised by vast plains dotted with fig, ebony, and garcinia trees and traversed by a network of pristine waterways. Visitors can look forward to leisurely boating excursions along the tranquil rivers of the Delta, thrilling game drives, and mystical night drives in the African bush to spot a wealth of nocturnal wildlife. Commonly spotted species include hippo, blue wildebeest, hyena, giraffe, elephant, lechwe, buffalo, tsessebe, and warthog. Visitors can spot up to 200 species of birds, take horse riding safaris through the untouched grasslands, and enjoy a glass of wine under the African night sky.
NG12 Concession lies in the northern Okavango Delta of Botswana, forming a remote mosaic of seasonal floodplains, palm-studded islands, waterways and mopane woodland. As a private wilderness area, it offers an intimate safari atmosphere with limited camps and few vehicles, creating a sense of seclusion between land and water. Visitors experience game drives, mokoro journeys in season, and guided encounters with elephants, lions, wild dogs and rich birdlife across changing floodplains. Sunlight flickers across still channels, papyrus rustles in the breeze, and evenings bring the calls of frogs and distant predators. Camps are typically small and rustic, shaped by the shifting moods of the floodplains and the rhythm of the Delta itself.
Situated in northern Botswana, the Selinda Reserve is a 130 000 hectare private wildlife reserve. Sandwiched between the beautiful Savute Channel, the awe-inspiring Chobe National Park, and the sensational Okavango Delta, this sanctuary is well off the beaten track and offers visitors an exclusive wildlife viewing experience. The varied landscape hosts a wide variety of species across diverse habitats, including rare roan and sable antelopes, endangered African wild dogs, lions, cheetahs, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, and large elephant herds, as well as numerous bird species, including the mighty African fish eagle. Take a night drive to see nocturnal species at their best. Visitors can look forward to wonderful canoe safaris, guided bush walks, and 4X4 game drives.

Known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya—“The Smoke That Thunders”—Victoria Falls is one of the world’s great natural landmarks. Straddling the Zambezi River between Zambia and Zimbabwe, it forms a vast curtain of water that fills the air with mist and sound. The Zimbabwean side grants the most dramatic views, where mist rises like ghostly curtains and rainbows arc through the spray. Measuring about 1,708 metres across, it is regarded as the largest single continuous sheet of falling water on Earth. The adjacent town of Victoria Falls provides a convenient base for exploring the region, with a wide range of activities from scenic flights and microlight trips to white-water rafting, bungee jumping, kayaking, and safaris into Chobe National Park.
