Botswana isn’t nicknamed “the jewel of the Kalahari” for nothing. This wildlife haven boasts a network of national parks and game reserves, each a sanctuary for a variety of wildlife and a wonderland for safari enthusiasts. Here is a list of the Botswana National Parks and the unique experiences they offer.

Chobe National Park

Chobe National Park is renowned for having the largest elephant population in Africa and is nicknamed “the land of giants.” While here, you will witness herds of these magnificent creatures as they move towards the Chobe River. But Chobe isn’t a one-trick pony. Look out for prides of lions lazing in the sun, puku antelopes with their lyre-shaped horns, and a vibrant tapestry of birdlife.

Central Kalahari Game Reserve

This vast wilderness known for its lack of permanent water sources showcases the incredible wildlife that has adapted to this harsh environment. Here, you can spot the majestic gemsbok, a desert antelope with long, spiralling horns, or witness the meerkats standing guard on their hind legs, ever vigilant for predators.

Moremi Game Reserve

The jewel of the Okavango Delta, the Moremi Game Reserve, is a photographer’s paradise. Here, you will witness troupes of playful baboons, the elegant lechwe antelope, the incredible birdlife, including the colourful lilac-breasted roller and the elusive wattled crane.

Makgadikgadi Pans National Park

The Makgadikgadi Pans National Park showcases a vast expanse of fossilised salt pans. During the summer, the pans transform into a breeding ground for millions of flamingos. Witnessing a sea of pink flamingos stretching as far as the eye can see is an unforgettable experience.

This is just a taste of Botswana’s diverse national parks and game reserves. Each offers a unique opportunity to witness the wonders of Botswana’s wilderness. Our team of safari experts is available to help you plan a seamless trip to any of these natural wonders.
