Botswana
- A huge country in Southern Africa, known to be hot and dry, with the exception of the lush oasis of the Okavango Delta in the north of the country - reputedly one of the most beautiful places in the world. Largely off-the-beaten track, Botswana is a haven for wildlife - especially elephants...
 
History & Background: Botswana was formerly known as Bechuanaland and was a British colony until   1966  . It was first inhabited by the San (Bushmen) and then by the Khoi-Khoi (Hottentots) and Bantu groups. Botswana is a landlocked nation, bordered by South Africa to the South, Namibia to the west, Zambia to the north, and Zimbabwe to the northeast. Botswana is one of Africa's most stable and peaceful democracies with its economy, closely tied to South Africa's, being dominated by cattle raising and mining, boasting huge diamond deposits.

Scheduled and Tailor-Made Safaris: Botswana is the ultimate safari destination in Southern Africa. Below you will find numerous small group (maximum of 10 clients) safaris that Jenman African Safaris runs in and around Botswana. You can join one of our scheduled camping or lodge safaris or if you'd like, one of our experienced travel consultants can tailor–make a private safari to meet your departure date, time period, group size and budget. A great option is to come on one of our lodge safaris where we'll fly you in your own private plane from one lodge to the next.

Best Game Viewing Months: There are four main parks in Botswana you would find interesting to visit. In Chobe National Park game viewing is fair from November to April, Good in May, June and October and excellent from July to September. Moremi game reserve is fair for game viewing from November to April, Good in May and June and excellent from July to October. In the Okavango Delta game viewing is fair from January to April, Good from October to December and excellent from May to September. And in the last of the four parks Savuti, game viewing is fair from November to February, Good from March to June and excellent from July to September.
