Discover the Enchanting Travels list of top ten best luxury safari camps in Botswana.
Stunning natural beauty, unique ecosystems and uninhibited movement for a large number of wildlife species are just some of the reasons why Botswana stands alone as a prime global destination for wildlife lovers. For a memorable and life-changing trip to this land-locked country in the African continent, choosing the best luxury safari camps in Botswana is very important.
Amazingly, 38% of Botswana’s land area is devoted to national parks, reserves and wildlife management areas. These large areas of uninhabited land create an excellent ecosystem for endangered mammal and bird species such as wild dogs, cheetahs, brown hyenas and many more to thrive without restrictions.
For nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts, Botswana shines through as the leading destination where they can rekindle their love for the wilderness.
Enchanting Travels is delighted to share the best luxury safari camps in Botswana award winners, who have been assessed on our most popular properties, guest feedback, in addition to our team’s regular quality testing.
Congratulations to all our Award Winners!
