Why Botswana For Your Safari!

Leopard from my time in Khwai Private Reserve.

There’s something about Botswana that just takes hold of your soul. 

Maybe it’s the quiet glide of a mokoro (canoe) through golden reeds of the Okavango Delta channels. Or the sudden thrill as lions emerge from the brush. Or maybe it’s that feeling you get when you’re sipping coffee at sunrise with nothing (absolutely nothing!!) in sight but floodplains bathed in morning light. 

Whatever it is... Botswana is calling. And I’ve been answering! So many of my guests are choosing this incredible country for their Safari – and I couldn’t be more thrilled. 

Let me tell you why. 

The magic of the Okavango Delta 

The Okavango Delta is one of those places you truly have to experience to believe. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this inland delta breathes life into everything around it – seasonal floodwaters transform dry plains into lush wetlands, creating one of Africa's most dynamic wildlife habitats. 

Here’s where the magic lies: depending on where you stay within the Delta, your experience shifts dramatically based on whether you're in a “wet” camp or a “dry” camp. 

• In wet camps (camps surrounded by permanent water), water-based activities take center stage, such as mokoro rides (Botswana’s version of a canoe). These traditional dugout canoes drift silently through narrow water channels guided by expert polers – it’s peaceful, intimate, and wildly beautiful. You won’t hear an engine here… just birdsong and splashes as red lechwe leap across shallows. 

• Dry camps bring classic game drives across open savannahs teeming with wildlife, from elegant giraffes to stealthy leopards perched in leadwood trees. And if you’re lucky? African wild dogs might make an appearance, too. 

Best part? Many camps offer both types of experiences… so you don’t have to choose!

Wildlife encounters that stay with you 

Botswana delivers some serious ‘wow’ moments when it comes to wildlife. We’re talking dreamy leopards and lions, a highly likely wild dog sightings plus rare species like the sitatunga antelope (you’ll only find them here), Pel’s fishing owl (a birder’s dream!), and even pangolins if you’re extremely lucky. 

And then there are elephants – the herds here feel endless sometimes. Especially around Chobe or Khwai, where they gather by the hundreds during dry season.

I was watching these wild dogs play while a leopard couple was close by. Pure magic.

These are a few of my favorite camps.

My clients have had so many special moments at these properties – they each offer something special while staying true to what makes Botswana stand out: untamed beauty + thoughtful hospitality + meaningful community impact. 

Machaba Safaris.

We like:
- Gomoti Camp, set along the Gomoti River in Khwai Conservancy.
- Machaba Camp, by Khwai River, overlooking Moremi Game Reserve.
- Kiri Camp, overlooking Kiri River in the delta.
All of them feels like stepping straight into nature with style!

The tents overlook waterways where elephants often wander by while you’re enjoying breakfast or lounging poolside (yes please!). It’s 100% solar-powered, too. A huge win for sustainability lovers like me. 

• Great mix of land AND seasonal water activities.

• Private concession = fewer vehicles = better sightings 

• Rustic-chic design that’s all about blending with nature 

Natural Selection Camps.

We like:
- Sable Alley and Tuludi Camps, set in floodplains of Khwai Private Reserve
- North Island in the northern Okavango Delta, its’own private paradise  tucked away among islands and lagoons

Every tent is surrounded by ancient trees with views over shimmering channels. You’ll fall asleep to frogs chirping and wake up with hippos grunting nearby! 

• Best done three ways: land safaris + boat rides

• Phenomenal birdlife 

• Conservation-focused through local youth development programs 

Pro tip? If budget allows, treat yourself to a helicopter ride over the Delta from a few of their camps – it completely changes how you see this wild mosaic below. 

African Bush Camp’s Khwai Leadwood  

This one’s perfect for families or anyone who wants front-row access to everything Moremi has to offer without being inside park boundaries (translation: more flexible activities!). It sits right along the Khwai River where animals gather constantly – you won’t even need binoculars half the time. 

• Mokoro rides guided by locals = cultural connection + serenity 

• Gorgeous rooms & warm service 

• Ngwana Club keeps younger guests engaged while adults unwind 

And yes, the outdoor bath under starlight at their honeymoon suite? Unreal! 

Mokoro riding!

So, when should you go? 

You literally can’t go wrong. Dry season runs from May–October, which is peak game viewing time as animals congregate around permanent water sources like rivers and lagoons. But don’t rule out green season either! November–March brings lush landscapes, dramatic skies… and lower rates.  

I always help my guests match their travel dates with exactly what they’re hoping for, whether that’s predator action, birding bliss, or simply soaking up scenery few will ever see firsthand. 

If you’ve been dreaming about an African Safari that's immersive yet intimate… raw yet refined… adventurous yet deeply personal, I would love nothing more than to craft your dream journey through wild Botswana together.  

Let me show you why travelers keep coming back again…and again…and again… 

Ready when you are!

Africa from the air – Adventures that take you higher

There’s something unforgettable about standing in the middle of the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania or Masai Mara, Kenya as wildebeest thunder past or watching hippos laze in the Zambezi River, Zambia as your guide whispers stories of the bush. But if you want an entirely different view – one that will take your breath away and stay with you forever – look up. 

And then? Take off. 

Mighty Zambezi River as I was leaving Lower Zambezi National Park, Zambia.

Exploring Africa from the air is about seeing familiar landscapes from an entirely new angle. Whether you’re floating in a hot air balloon over endless plains, flying low over the tangled channels of the Okavango Delta in Botswana, or paragliding along the dramatic cliffs of Victoria Falls, Zambia from above is pure magic. 

Here’s how to take your Safari to new heights (literally!). 

Hot air balloon Safaris: sunrise and silence 

With my daughter on our Spring Break Safari 2022 in Southern Serengeti, Tanzania with Serengeti Balloon Safari.

One of my absolute favorite Safari moments is floating peacefully in a hot air balloon above the golden grasses of the Serengeti or Masai Mara. Everything is so still… and the world is waking up beneath you. Herds moving gently below, giraffes on a journey, and elephants casting long shadows across the plains. You never know what you will see when up in the sky.

You’ll take off just before sunrise, and with any luck, you’ll catch that first golden light painting the land in warm amber hues. When I say it’s magical, I really mean it. 

Hot air balloon Safaris are offered in several places, including the Tarangire and Ruaha National Park, Tanzania. It’s always a smooth early morning experience followed by a bush breakfast and bubbly under a flat-topped acacia.  

Heli flips & light aircraft: Into the wild we go 

Via Helicopter Horizons

Flying into remote Safari parks is part of the adventure! There’s nothing quite like landing on a makeshift bush airstrip while your pilot radios a quick message: “We may need to circle once – there’s a zebra on the runway.” (Yes, it happens. Often. And trust me, it never gets old.) 

From the air, you’ll see the land unfold: verdant wetlands, deep escarpments, glittering rivers, and even herds beneath you that you wouldn’t spot from the ground. The first time I flew over the Okavango Delta in a four seater plane, I was stunned by the sheer geometry of it. The way water, reeds, and tracks form a natural patchwork quilt, stirred by the movement of elephants, buffalo, and hippos below. 

Want an even more heart-thumping experience? Opt for a low-altitude helicopter ride over the Okavango Delta, the Zambezi River when or through the dramatic red canyons of Namibia. You’ll feel every curve, every cliff. It’s wild freedom in every sense. 

Daredevils welcome: Skydives & paraglides 

Microflight via Livingstone’s Adventure, Victoria Falls, Zambia

For my thrill-seekers, Africa is a playground waiting to be experienced upside down, inside out, and freefalling. 

Skydiving over the Namib Desert? The contrast of the bright sky and red dunes is nothing short of cinematic. Or take a leap over Lake Victoria and watch its vastness stretch well beyond imagination. 

Prefer something slightly less vertical? Paragliding over Zambia and Zimbabwe’s Victoria Falls lets you soar like a bird across one of the most geologically impressive landscapes on Earth. Thermals carry you over escarpments, lakes, and forests – it’s peaceful... and a lot more accessible than people realize! 

Why flying in Africa feels so different

On my way to Mala Mala Game Reserve in South Africa

Here’s something I love about air travel in Africa – it’s never just “a flight.” It’s a story. A moment. Maybe it starts with the car gently herding giraffes off the runway. Or it’s your pilot who’s been flying for 30 years and has tales to share that make your jaw drop. Or maybe it’s the fact that your ‘airport’ is a grassy clearing with no terminal in sight… just zebras hanging out near your luggage. 

These little moments? They give your Safari an edge. A touch of magic. A different kind of freedom. 

If you’re dreaming of Africa, don’t just think land cruiser and beautiful places-to-stay (though you know I love those, too). Let’s add the sky to your story. 

Up, up… and Safari on. 

Zanzibar – The soulful spice in your Safari adventure.

Want to end your Safari with a little salt in your hair and a swirl of spice in the air. That’s Zanzibar. 

I always get excited when guests ask, “Should we add Zanzibar to our Safari?” My answer? A resounding YES! If your Safari feeds the wild part of your soul, then Zanzibar is where your heart slows down, your senses wake up, and your connection deepens… not just to the land, but to the people who call it home. 

Upendo Beach - one of the beach resorts we enjoy sending you.

The perfect pairing: Safari + Zanzibar 

After days in the bush tracking lions, sipping sundowners under acacia trees, and waking to the calls of hornbills, there’s something magical about trading your hiking boots for flip-flops. 

You might see Zanzibar as a relaxing post-Safari “add-on,” but the reality is that it’s part of Tanzania’s beating heart. I always recommend visiting after your Safari, so you get to soak in that wild energy first… and then let the island bring you gently back to earth.

Stone Town: Zanzibar’s cultural heartbeat 

Stone Town is where Zanzibar tells its story. It’s not polished. It’s real, layered in history, and oozing character in every crumbling coral wall and carved wooden door. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a kaleidoscope of cultures (African, Arab, Indian, European) all woven together in narrow alleyways and buzzing bazaars. 

You’ll walk past colorful markets where spices fill the air and women wear kangas printed in Swahili proverbs. You’ll hear the call to prayer echo off centuries-old minarets as kids dart through the streets kicking homemade soccer balls. The scent of cardamom and grilled octopus floats through the evening air, and if you pause to look up, you’ll see balconies crafted hundreds of years ago, each one telling its own small tale of this island’s layered past.

House of Wonders - place fit for a king.

Coffee break after exploring the sensory overload meat market.

Zanzibar’s history as a trading hub means you’ll taste Indian and Persian influences in the food (don’t skip a bowl of spicy biryani or Zanzibari mix). If adventurous, enjoy the Forodhani food scene in the evening. You may have passed the local market on your Stone Town tour.

You’ll see majestic Omani architecture near centuries-old churches. You’ll learn about the dark legacy of the slave trade, and witness how modern Zanzibaris carry their past with strength and grace. 

People here are proud of their heritage – and wonderfully open to sharing it with curious travelers. A guided walking tour is one of the best ways to explore the labyrinthine alleyways on your first day. After that, take it slow, get deliciously lost, and let the street rhythms lead you. 

Local etiquette note:
Zanzibar is predominantly Muslim, so dressing modestly in town is appreciated (think shoulders and knees covered). 

Humpback whales? Just another bonus! 

Want one more wild, heart-stirring reason to go? 

Between July and August, Zanzibar sits along the migration route of Humpback Whales traveling with their calves from the chilly waters of South Africa toward the warmer currents of Somalia. Seeing a mother and baby breach against a Zanzibari sunset? It’s the kind of moment that lives with you forever. 

This is the magic of combining Safari and sea. You go from spotting lion cubs on dust-colored savannas to watching whale tails slice through sapphire surf. 

Zanzibar is a vibe-shift… in the best possible way. 
It’s the celebration after the Safari. The soul after the thrill. 

If you’re dreaming of an adventure that’s wild, warm, and wonderfully human, Zanzibar is calling. And I’d love to help you answer. 

Why should you take a Safari to Zambia?

Been on Safari and thinking of where to for your next Safari?
It’s a no-brainer: Zambia! After my recent trip, I’m absolutely in love with this place, and I’m betting you will be too. Here are a few reasons why I’ve fallen head over heels:

1. The Wildlife.

Grab your front-row seat - Zambian wildlife is next level. So many stories I can share.
- The rare wild dog moments in South Luangwa, chilling after a meal and not budging to the epic impala chase in Lower Zambezi National Park. While the pack did get the impala and devoured it in minutes, I am glad in some way I did not see the kill itself as I am sure it was brutal.
- The beautiful leopard sightings with the best morning light. I skipped my walk for this moment with my Safari guide Sandy from Sungani Lodge. Well worth the gaze.
- Every game drive highlighted elephants with wee ones and lots of them. Just being in the quiet with them, I got to see so many cool interactions. Elephants all day, any day.
- Lions galore. Every drive, we had lion sightings. From a sibling pair playing with sticks and the older sibling not being in the mood for play, to a cheeky lion cub trying to sneak a bite of his dad’s kill. He patiently tried hard for minutes and Dad was NOT feeling generous – cue some serious family drama with the mama lion running to check in on the young one.
- Lots of giraffes on Safari - got to see them necking and mating. Pretty neat.
- From the river banks in Luangwa and Zambezi, I got to see the beginning of the carmine bee-eaters migration - they were making their way to nest. I had heard of this so was excited to get a glimpse of them arriving.
- My Safari guide and I were transferring through Mosi-O-Tunya and at a distance, we see something large. I say “hippo“ and he say’s “elephants“, and when we got closer, we both got goosebumps as there were two white rhinos. We could not stop talking about them until we got to Matetsi River Lodge in Zimbabwe.

Moments like this, with a lion pride, a pack of wild dogs, elephants, and more, make Zambia one of the best countries for wildlife viewing.

2. The People.

Welcoming and warm! You’ll get all the feels from the moment you step onto Zambian soil. The Safari guides shared with me more than wildlife stories. I heard how school works in villages to getting through college and how some guides move to towns like Livingstone and Lusaka for better education for their kids. They shared how they decided to become guides and the process. I heard of the challenges of health care in Zambia especially if you are in remote areas. So much to learn.

The kind and caring lodge crew made sure I ate well and had my morning tea or decaf coffee for me. I always try to chat with them and I can’t wait for some of them to become Safari guides.

To the local artisans in Mfuwe in South Luangwa to the craft market near Victoria Falls, you’ll have a blast bargaining if you are into that but just remember, every extra dollar you spend makes a big difference to the local families!

My tip, I bargain to get the thrill, and then end up paying the original price quoted.

3. The Places.

Amazing hospitality. After hours of bouncing around in a 4x4 Safari vehicle, you’ll want somewhere comfortable to put your feet up. One family run lodge that won the couch test was Sungani Lodge. The couches are so comfortable here – just one example of the Safari essentials you never knew you needed.

Each place [more details here] offered gorgeous views, great food, and all sorts of wildlife rolling in for a visit – I was spoilt on every couch.

4. Victoria Falls.

Nature’s biggest showstopper. Victoria Falls is an absolute must-see when you’re in Zambia, or Zimbabwe. Known locally as “Mosi-oa-Tunya” – The Smoke That Thunders – the sheer power and beauty of the Falls will leave you with your mouth hanging open for minutes at a time. Even in September when the falls is not thundering, I was in awe of this geological wonder. Andddd, I got to experience the Devil’s Pool. Mind blowing experience.

If thunderous stream is what you are after, the Zambian side during the drier months does slow down hence going to the Zimbabwe side may be the answer. You have to be patient because you have to cross the border and would recommend getting the KAZA visa on arrival. But the beauty doesn’t fade with the water levels – this natural wonder is awesome all year round!

5. Fewer Vehicles at this time.

What a treat this is for those of us who are used to areas with lots of vehicles. To have a leopard, lion or wild dog sighting limited to one to two vehicles - wow. When we were trying to capture the wild dogs hunting in Lower Zambezi, my guide Taps was all flustered because there were about ten or so vehicles all trying to get a closer look. I hope they always keep the numbers low, which means we need to make sure we support the right lodges who are protecting the areas.

Would love to chat more with you about the beauty that is Zambia.

Mother's on Safari!

Most moms love flowers – and the thought still counts! But how about spending money on something that’ll last longer … celebrating Mother’s Day soaking up an experience you’ll both treasure forever?

That’s where a Safari comes in – and I’m here to personalize it to every last detail. But regardless of whether your mom loves thrills and adventure or prefers quiet downtime, I’ll ensure she’s somewhere remote on the most magical continent in the world, bathed in sunshine and tranquility and surrounded by untouched nature and wildlife.

Here are a few reasons why a Safari is the ultimate Mother’s Day spoil:

1] Spa treatments under African skies:
After an exhilarating game drive chasing down the king of the bush, Mom deserves to be treated like royalty. How does a traditional African massage using ingredients like warm shea butter and exotic marula oil (infused with the soothing scents of lavender and lemongrass) sound? Pure bliss! Plus, you’ll have an excuse to treat yourself, too!

Spa Time from Lemala Kuria, Northern Serengeti, Tanzania

2] Shopping on Safari:
No Safari is complete without a little retail therapy and a souvenir (or five) to take home! Whisk Mom away on a private shopping spree to hidden boutiques or bustling local markets in Nairobi, Kenya, Arusha, Tanzania or Cape Town, South Africa. These places are always packed to the brim with colorful textiles, handmade beaded jewelry, and other gorgeous handcrafted treasures—each piece is a special keepsake from her unforgettable African adventure.

3] Bubbles & hot air ballooning:
Looking for an experience that’s equal parts relaxing and adrenalin-charged? Nothing beats floating along in a hot air balloon over the Serengeti, Tanzania, Masai Mara, Kenya or Namib Desert. Talk about an life-changing moments! And, of course, I’ll top it off with a lavish champagne breakfast on the ground. Because even the most hardened adventurers need (and deserve) a little luxury.

4] Starlit dinner date (with a wild soundtrack):
Why dine in a crowded restaurant when you can savor a candlelit dinner under a blanket of twinkling African stars and encircled by the sounds of the bush? Pair this unrivaled ambiance with a gourmet meal crafted with the freshest ingredients and a bottle of fine wine from South Africa ... with plenty to toast to!

5] Maasai warriors and roots:
I love adding a dash of the unexpected to my guests’ Safaris! Something like a morning spent learning bush survival skills from Maasai warriors and Hadzabe, followed by an late afternoon on top of a kopje [rock outcrop], waiting for the sunset.

Inspired? Let’s swap those roses for rhinos this Mother's Day and give Mom a gift that’s [literally] roar-some! Get in touch with us, and we’ll piece together a Safari escape Mom [or you] will never forget.

Cape Town – More Than a City; It’s a Feeling

They call it the Mother City, and I totally get it. Cape Town is home to every member of South Africa’s beautiful Rainbow Nation – and the attractions and scenery are as diverse and fascinating as the city’s people themselves. Cape Town has a vibe that’s hard to describe... think a relaxed, go-with-the-flow island energy mixed with bustling city life. It also shares the title of South Africa’s food and wine capital with the nearby Cape Winelands, which are a short drive away (but more on that later).

Table Mountain from V&A Waterfront.

So, what’s the big deal?
Okay, first – we have to talk about Table Mountain. It’s obviously Cape Town’s original claim to fame, and it’s certainly as jaw-dropping in person as it is in pictures! It’s a unique flat-topped beauty right in the heart of the city, and there are plenty of ways to interact with it aside from posing for that obligatory Table Mountain Instagram-worthy selfie. Hike it, take the cable car (it rotates for 360-degree views!), or simply stare in awe from anywhere in the city. (Oh, and I can make sure you get set up at a boutique hotel promising 24/7 views of this mountain marvel right from the comfort of your room, so you’ll have ample opportunity to appreciate it).

While Table Mountain’s top of the list, it’s definitely not the only reason to head to Cape Town – far from it! How about taking a scenic drive along the coast to the Cape of Good Hope, the very tip of Africa? Prepare for rugged beaches, crashing waves, and maybe even an ostrich or two hanging about. If that isn’t epic enough, just hop on the ferry to Robben Island, the prison where Nelson Mandela (lovingly called ‘Madiba’ and the ‘Father of the Nation’ by South Africans) was held for 18 years of his 27-year sentence. It’s a history lesson that’ll stay with you.

Back in the city, everyone’s obsessed with the V&A Waterfront – and you’re guaranteed to be, too. Hundreds of shops, buzzing bars with live music, the best food, and seals bobbing playfully in the harbor – what’s not to love? And nearby? Camps Bay... bursting with Miami-style beaches, swanky restaurants, and people-watching heaven.

But wait, there’s SO much more...
Dive into the colorful chaos of markets, where you’re sure to find a handmade African creation to take home as a souvenir or a gift for someone special.

Love penguins? Go hang out with a colony at Boulders Beach (cuteness overload!). If you’re in the mood for a thrill, how about shark cage diving (not for the faint-hearted)? Or paragliding off a mountain (rather you than me!)? Needless to say, the Mother City is full of ways to get your pulse racing!

Fancy sampling some of the world’s best wines, paired with a cellar tour, and a five-star meal? The Cape Winelands are just a stone’s throw away, featuring homely towns like Stellenbosch (one of South Africa’s oldest towns known for its hiking trails, oak-lined avenues, and Cape Dutch architecture) and Franschhoek (renowned for art galleries, hosting numerous artists and boutique crafts).

So, you see? The thing about Cape Town is... it gets under your skin, and I know you will bring a little piece of its magic back home. And of course it’s a perfect stay for before or after your Safari.

Botswana's Okavango Delta

Can you hear it? It’s Botswana’s Okavango Delta calling your name! 
Soon, that gush of water from the distant Angolan highlands will arrive, and the dusty plains will become shimmering lagoons, the channels will swell, and a whole new world will spring to life. Trust me – you want to be there when it happens. 

Mokoro Riding on the Okavango Delta’s channels.

When to go?
May to September is your golden window to experience Botswana. This is when you’ll be able to slip into a mokoro and follow the natural flow of the winding waterways. Feel the sun on your skin as you float past colorful waterlilies and hear the gentle swish of reeds as your guide navigates, keeping your eyes peeled for wildlife – rest assured, you won’t need to wait too long or look too hard! There’s plenty of life in and around the Delta.

Hippos peek out from shallows, elephants quench their thirst at newly-filled pools, and the enthusiastic twittering of over 400 bird species fills the air. You may even spot a usually shy leopard (or two), and perhaps even a pack of wild dogs. Oh, and watch out for that iconic splash of red in the distance – it might just be a leaping lechwe or a sitatunga, elegantly poised and grazing just beyond the water’s edge.

Can’t go during these times.
Don’t wait. The animals will still be there.
The channels may not be high but if you are up for anything, just go. I was there in February and I got to ride the mokoro (that is me in the photo above on my Safari - a traditional dug-out canoe), see the dashing sitatunga, capture the leopards, lions, wild dogs, and so much more.  

Lion pride. Okavango Delta

Of course, all these encounters will be tailored to your rhythm, featuring those life-changing sunrise coffee/chai tea stops, as well as lazy  sundowners, a few bush picnics, and whatever else fuels your sense of adventure.

I’m here to make sure every moment you spend in the Okavango Delta is as wonderful as it is wild. So let’s start plotting your unforgettable African adventure, your way.
