BOTSWANA WILDLIFE WONDERS F R O M D E LT A T O D E S E R T

GO BEYOND the Standard Safari Circuit Dear Traveler, Few places embody the spirit of safari quite like Botswana. Vast protected landscapes and a longstanding commitment to conservation have made it one of the planet's greatest wildlife strongholds. I've been exploring Botswana for decades, and what impresses me most isn't simply the abundance of wildlife—it's how the rest of the world falls away. From the Okavango Delta to the Kalahari Desert, you can spend hours in the field without seeing another vehicle, so you can observe the country’s lions, leopards, cheetahs, zebras, elephants, giraffes and countless species of birds without distractions. On our Botswana safaris, you’ll stay at private camps within remote concessions, in the midst of rich wildlife habitat. Chartered bush flights replace long overland drives, maximizing your time in nature. Small groups allow us to linger at wildlife sightings. And because our Expedition Leaders are among the most highly certified in Africa, with access to WWF resources, every game drive offers deep insight into this expansive ecosystem. Experience a wilder side of Botswana. Visit nathab.com/botswana26 or call 800-543-8917 to learn more. I hope to see you out there,

Nat Hab's Gomoti Camp

Nat Hab's Pelo Camp

CHARTERED FLIGHTS & Specialized Vehicles Get You Deeper into Nature

Chartered flights are key to connecting the wildlife-rich regions of Botswana—linking the Okavango Delta, Linyanti woodlands and other remote ecosystems quickly and comfortably. These short, scenic rides maximize your time on safari and grant access to secluded camps few others reach. On the ground, our open-sided 4x4 vehicles are designed for comfort and visibility, with tiered seating and plenty of room, so every guest has an unobstructed “window” seat and optimal photo angles. We also operate one of the region’s first off-grid electric safari vehicles—quiet, low-impact and ideal for close wildlife encounters.

Avoid long overland drives with private chartered flights between remote safari camps—spending more time in nature and less time in transit. Photo by Nat Hab staff member Maya Krause. 7

SMALL GROUPS

Create Big Opportunities for Memorable Moments Our Botswana safari groups are the smallest you'll find, giving your Expedition Leader the freedom to respond to the moment— staying longer at a predator sighting, setting out early for golden-hour light illuminating grazing impala, or veering off-track to follow the fresh prints of a lion. You’ll ride in open 4x4 vehicles with tiered seating and plenty of space for wide-open views, steady camera work and an unbroken connection to the sights, sounds and scents of the bush. Smaller groups also grant us access to remote camps on private conservancies and let us move quietly through sensitive terrain—often leading to closer, more powerful wildlife encounters.

Nat Hab travelers enjoy a secluded sundowner in Botswana's Okavango Delta— Earth's largest inland water system.

Botswana's Finest

NATURALIST SAFARI GUIDES Our Expedition Leaders rank among the most highly certified guides in Africa, with an average of 15 years of training and field experience. Deeply knowledgeable about Botswana’s wildlife, they’re also skilled trackers, naturalists and educators who bring each ecosystem to life with insight, depth and genuine care for the land. Through our partnership with WWF, they receive access to the latest conservation science. Their expertise and intuitive field skills lead to more meaningful wildlife encounters, richer interpretation and personalized guiding that transform a great safari into an extraordinary one.
