Luxury Camps & Lodges in Botswana
To ensure tourism is sustainable and beneficial to local communities, Botswana has implemented a 'low
volume, high revenue' tourism policy. This ensures that Botswana's resources are not overexploited with mass tourism. By increasing park fees within Botswana and
limiting the building of lodges and camps, the number of visitors is reduced, providing the same level of revenue for the park's authorities and tourism partners.
The expense of the majority of Botswana's camps results that they are out reach for the average traveller. This ensures that environments remain pristine and local
communities continue benefit from shared ownership schemes.
This tourism policy, keeping large portions of the country out of reach to the masses, will suit those that want to avoid the package holiday crowds and stay in
camps offering unstated luxury in the most pristine and solitary of environments.
A bespoke, luxury safari to Botswana will always include a visit to the Okavango Delta.
Flying in from Maun on a light aircraft flight what can be more remarkable than this wetland paradise unfolding beneath you. The heart of the Okavango is the Moremi
Game Reserve around which there are large private reserves or concessions that are leased to safari companies under strict guidelines and carrying capacities. Companies
such as Wilderness Safaris operate a number of camps in these concessions offering some of the best accommodation to be found in Africa. Camps such as Mombo Camp, Vumbura Plains Camp
and Jao Camp are THE places to stay in the Okavango not only for their locale
in arguably the best game viewing region in the country but also because they provide premier accommodation, personalised service and unsurpassed guiding
The Linyanti region, normally combined with the Okavango, is host not only to prolific
wildlife and wonderful scenery but magnificent luxury camps such as Kings Pool and
Zarafa Camp. Activities on offer in these high end properties are always flexible
to suit guest's interests and when wildlife viewing is best. As with the Okavango these activities include day and night drives, walking and boat cruises.
The possibilities are endless for a tailor made luxury trip to Botswana. Whether you want to include a stay at River Club or Tongabezi Lodge in Livingstone
(Victoria Falls), see
Namibia's Caprivi Strip from Ntwala Lodge or tag on a desert experience at Jack's
Camp in the Makgadikgadi Pans, the entire experience will be second to none.
