Diversity of Safaris

There is never a dull moment on safari, and the best part about going on safari in Botswana is that there are so many options. There are the expected game drives in customised 4x4 vehicles that are well thought out and professionally organized, but there are also boat safaris - a similar setup but with a completely different experience as you meander through the waterways rather than trundling through the African bush.

Then, on guided bush walks with knowledgeable guides and the Bushman, you can explore the African bush on foot. The various environments in which you can walk range from bushland savanna to the vast expanse of the salt pans. For many visitors to Botswana, guided Bushman walks in the Kalahari region are a highlight. Bushman walks concentrate on the smaller and more delicate aspects of the environment, such as local flora, Bushman culture, and the various uses for everything you see.

But why walk when you can see game from the saddle? There are several horseback safari operators and lodges that specialize in this, such as Raw Botswana, but you must be an experienced rider due to the unpredictable nature of wildlife. The beauty of riding a horse is that the wildlife accepts you as part of another four-legged animal. This can be considered as one of the Reasons to Visit Botswana.
