Wildlife, water, wilderness and some of Africa’s most extraordinary safari experiences.
Botswana is not simply a place to go on safari.
Botswana: Exceptional Luxury
Best time to visit: May to October
How long: 14 nights
Price: depending on the region, camp, level of exclusivity, transport and season.
You can explore the waterways of the Okavango Delta by mokoro, follow wildlife through private concessions, sleep under the stars in the middle of the bush, experience the Kalahari, discover ancient landscapes and combine very different parts of the country in one journey.
Accommodation: Xaro Lodge, Botswana
The difficult part is deciding where to go, what to combine and where your money is best spent.
There are countless lodges, camps, safari areas and operators to choose from. Some offer very different experiences despite being in the same region.
Accommodation (Full board): Zarafa Camp, Botswana
There is nothing ordinary or mainstream about this destination. It is all about unique, remote and wildlife-rich wilderness areas completely natural and exclusive.
You can choose to sleep under the stars with just a mosquito net separating them from the wild. It is an extremely intimate experience.
Accommodation (All-inclusive): Skybeds, Botswana
A Botswana trip can look very different. One trip might focus almost entirely on the Okavango Delta. Another could combine the Delta with Chobe and a private reserve. Another might add the Kalahari for a completely different landscape and wildlife experience. You could choose a traditional luxury lodge, a remote tented camp, a private concession, a mobile safari or something much more unusual — such as sleeping above the bush under the stars. There is no single “best” Botswana itinerary. The right combination depends on what you want from the trip.
Accommodation (All-inclusive): Kanana Camp, Botswana
Botswana becomes much more interesting when you look beyond simply “going on safari.” You could spend time in the Okavango Delta experiencing its waterways and wildlife. You could move into a private reserve for a more remote safari experience. You could sleep under the stars in a raised bush hide. Or you could travel south towards the Kalahari and experience a completely different landscape and wildlife environment.
Accommodation (All-inclusive): Jao Camp, Botswana

Exclusive and Intimate Experiences

Weather and best time to visit?
Botswana has two seasons really – summer and winter. The Summer (also known as the green season) runs from November through to April and the Winter (aka dry season) from May to October. Botswana doesn’t really have a Spring and Fall. Unlike the Northern hemisphere, there is less rain in the winter but the temperatures are lower. In fact, the temperatures first thing in the morning can get as low as 9-10 Celsius (50 Fahrenheit). It does warm up quickly though with average daytime temperatures in the mid-20s Celsius (70 Fahrenheit). As there is more rain in the Summer it can be often referred to as a wet season or rainy season which doesn’t sound very appealing. Residents of places like Europe and North America associate rain with endless drizzle and miserable grey skies which just isn’t the case in Africa. Often days in the summer months start with glorious warm sunshine that maintains throughout the day and then clouds start to build in the afternoon. On most days there will then be a huge downpour that lasts no more than 15-30 minutes and then it breaks back to clear skies again. This can be wonderfully dramatic with dark moody skies leading to some compelling imagery.
Traveling with minor children to Botswana:
You are responsible for having the correct travel documents. We emphasize the rules for traveling with children. Strict rules apply to Botswana, which means that you are required to be in possession of an original birth certificate of your child(ren) (international and English). If you do not have this original birth certificate with the original stamp, you might not be allowed on the flight. Should the minor be travelling with one parent only, then a letter of consent from the other parent should the minor be travelling with one parent.
Are vaccinations mandatory in Botswana?
No vaccinations are required for Botswana. A vaccination against DTP and hepatitis A is recommended. Be well prepared and therefore seek advice in advance. If you make a stopover on your way to Botswana in a country where yellow fever occurs, you must have a vaccination (stamp) upon entry. Botswana has a risk of malaria; High risk: Year round in areas north of Maun and Pits including the Okavango Delta and Chobe, Moremi, Sibuyu National Parks. From September to May in the remaining northern half of the country below Maun. Low risk: From June to August in the remaining northern half of the country below Maun. And upper southern half of the country. No malaria: Lower southern half of the country, Gaborone. Minimal risk: South central half of the country. Wear long-sleeved protective clothing as much as possible, especially at sunset, and regularly spray anti-mosquito spray with 30-50% DEET.
Is it safe in Botswana?
Botswana is considered one of the safest countries in Africa to travel in. Tourism is welcomed and valued by the locals in general, as it brings opportunities and income. There is no reason for you to feel unsafe anywhere in Botswana, as there have been very few reported incidents of petty theft or other opportunistic crimes.
What language in Botswana?
Setswana is the national language with minor differences in dialect notable around the country. English is the official business language, and it is widely spoken in urban areas with most written communication being in this language.

Why Use Hendexp?
No mass tour buses. No rigid group schedules. Just a flawless, human-vetted logistical blueprint to navigate Africa’s premier wilderness entirely on your own terms.
The Group Tour Blueprint—Without the Group Hassle:
If you look at popular group travel websites, you will see incredible, day-by-day itineraries mapped out for adventurous trips. They look amazing on paper. But what they don’t tell you is the reality of traveling in a pack:
- The Pace Dilemma: You move only as fast as the slowest person in the group.
- The Forced Socializing: You are trapped eating three meals a day with a crowd of strangers.
- The Rigid Schedule: Found a hidden local café or an incredible wildlife viewing spot you love? Too bad—the tour bus leaves at exactly 2:00 PM.
- The Middleman Markup: You pay inflated prices per seat just to fund the overhead of a large tour operator.
We steal the best part of group tours—and give you the freedom back.
At Hendexp, we build the exact same caliber of expert, day-by-day itineraries that you see on high-end group sites. We map out the clever routes, find the hidden boutique stays, and solve the complex logistical puzzles.
The only difference? We hand the blueprint directly to you.
You get the flawless coordination of an organized expedition, but you travel completely by yourself, moving entirely on your own schedule. You book direct, you save money, and you bypass the group hassle entirely.
The Real Challenge of Planning Botswana:
You can find thousands of Botswana lodges on Google and endless generic schedules online. But standard, automated lists cannot verify the reality on the ground. Most automated systems choose the exact same popular, crowded properties for every user, completely missing the true spirit of the destination.
They do not know that if you book the wrong concession in the Okavango Delta during the dry season, you will be looking at empty mudflats instead of water. They do not know which remote deep-sand tracks require a double-differential lock 4×4, which local charter pilots are reliable, or how to bypass overpriced tourist traps to find true isolation.
Botswana becomes extraordinary when you look beyond a generic “safari package.” The challenge isn’t finding options—it’s knowing where your time and money are actually worth spending. We do the boots-on-the-ground filtering. You execute the journey by yourself.
Choose Your Level of Help:
Option 1: The Botswana Guide

This guide hands you everything you need to execute a flawless independent trip immediately. We cover all travel tiers within our plans, mapping out the best handpicked options for backpacker budgets, mid-range comfort, and high-end luxury.
- Ready-to-Use Timeline: A day-by-day, hour-by-hour breakdown for our custom-selected trip length.

If you want a flawless independent trip but don’t want to handle the heavy logistical research, let a human expert map it out explicitly for you.
You do not have to accept a rigid, pre-designed group package. Tell us your travel dates, group size, comfort expectations, and wildlife goals. A human researcher will spend hours building a proprietary, custom itinerary designed entirely around your specific requirements.
- Bespoke Logistics: We map out exactly where to go, how long to stay in each pocket, and how to logically connect them (whether by light aircraft charter or 4×4 vehicle).
- Tailored Scouting: You receive custom-vetted accommodation options, targeted independent experiences, and precise cost estimates tailored directly to your budget.
- Total Independence: We hand over the complete research blueprint with direct supplier contact details. You book everything directly yourself, retaining full control over your money, your data, and your schedule.
Why Hendexp Works: Absolute Freedom & Better Value
When you travel independently with our blueprints, you unlock a deeply personal experience and a level of pure freedom that group tours simply cannot offer.
Best of all, the economics work completely in your favor. Whether you are traveling solo, as a couple, or with a large group, following our independent travel blueprints is significantly cheaper than paying per person for a rigid group tour. Instead of paying high company markups to sleep in the rigid, cookie-cutter hotel blocks used by mass tour operators, your money goes directly to the suppliers. This allows you to secure far superior, intimate boutique accommodations for less overall cost.
We do not sell you hotel rooms, and we do not herd you into a tour group. We sell unbiased, human-verified research. We look across the vast chaos of global travel options, compare them ruthlessly, and hand you the keys to a perfect, self-guided African expedition.
