Botswana
Overview
A wildlife Eden, birders paradise and photographer’s dream. Our time spent with the elephants of Botswana feasting on their favourite palm nuts inspired the name of Lala Palm Safari Co. With an undersized human population and more than 40% of the country dedicated to nature and wildlife conservation, you could travel Botswana for miles without seeing another person. What you will see instead, is an abundance of wild animals. Undoubtedly one of Africa’s most iconic wilderness destinations, Botswana is a unique country with a vast array of opulent lodges and equally beautiful landscapes. With some of the highest wildlife densities, Botswana lends itself to a classic safari experience. This country is considered to be one of the world’s last true wilderness areas, with the largest elephant population on the African continent. With Botswana’s elephant population of around 140 000 you are sure to have many magical moments with these gentle giants. Botswana is renowned for its pristine wilderness areas characterised by deep lagoons, wetlands, lush palms, rugged hills and desert plains scattered with scrubland.
Highlights &
Experiences
The country’s primary tourist drawcard is undoubtedly the remarkably beautiful Okavango Delta, the largest inland delta in the world. Its flagship jewel, the Okavango Delta, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s largest inland deltas. Here, the pristine waterways and vast floodplains become a sanctuary for an astonishing array of wildlife, including elephants, lions, leopards, and countless bird species. Our exclusive safaris offer you the chance to explore this extraordinary ecosystem on traditional mokoro (canoe) excursions or thrilling game drives. These natural wonders provide a tranquil haven for an abundance of African wildlife to thrive. Botswana’s diverse landscapes, from the arid vast red expanse of the Kalahari Desert and its Kalahari Desert to the lush Moremi Game Reserve, and the elephant-rich water abundant Chobe region offer a rich tapestry of safari adventures. Other highlights include the impressive Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, where visitors are privy to massive zebra migrations, flamingos and meerkats during particular seasons and the Savuti plains, which host large prides of lions.
