Botswana Safari Packages: Chobe, Kasane & The Okavango Delta

Home to the largest elephant population in Africa, Botswana’s Chobe National Park is one of the continent’s great safari destinations — and it’s just across the border from Victoria Falls.

What Is A Botswana Safari?

Chobe National Park & The Okavango Delta

Botswana safaris are built around two icons: Chobe National Park, famous for its enormous elephant herds and river cruises along the Chobe River, and the Okavango Delta, a vast inland wetland reached by light aircraft or 4x4.

Most travelers access Botswana via Kasane, a short transfer from Victoria Falls — making it one of the easiest and most popular safari add-ons in Southern Africa, whether as a single day trip or a multi-night stay.

Okavango Delta Safaris

Okavango Delta Lodges, Mokoro Trips & Bush Walks

The Okavango Delta is one of the world’s few inland river deltas — a maze of lagoons, palm islands and papyrus channels that floods every year from Angola’s highlands. Most travelers reach it by light aircraft from Kasane or Maun, staying at a fly-in safari lodge for 2–3 nights.

Game drives here are joined by two experiences you won’t find at Chobe: a mokoro (dugout canoe) excursion gliding silently through the reed channels, and a guided bush walk that puts you on foot alongside zebra, elephant and antelope with an armed local guide.

Most travelers spend $450–$900 per person per day on an Okavango Delta fly-in safari including flights, accommodation, meals and activities — it’s a premium add-on to a Chobe or Victoria Falls itinerary rather than a budget destination on its own.

Best Time To Visit

When Is The Best Time To Visit Botswana?

May – September (Dry Season): The best time for game viewing — animals gather at the Chobe River, and this is peak season for Delta fly-in safaris.

October – November (Late Dry): Hot temperatures but exceptional wildlife concentrations along the river before the rains.

December – April (Green Season): Lush scenery, newborn animals and excellent birdlife, with fewer crowds.

FAQ

Botswana Safari FAQs

Botswana runs a low-volume, high-value tourism model, so lodges inside the parks tend to be premium priced. However, a Chobe day trip from Victoria Falls or a stay in Kasane town is a far more affordable way to experience the same wildlife — we’ll match the option to your budget.
Chobe National Park is the most accessible and popular choice, especially for elephant sightings and river cruises. The Okavango Delta offers a more remote, fly-in wilderness experience for travelers with extra time and budget.
Yes — this is one of our most popular day trips. It includes the border transfer, a game drive, a river cruise and lunch, returning to Victoria Falls the same evening. See the full Chobe day trip guide.
Kasane is roughly 80km / 1.5–2 hours from Victoria Falls by road, including the border crossing at Kazungula.
Most travelers spend $450–$900 per person per day on a fly-in Okavango Delta safari, including the light-aircraft transfer, full-board lodge accommodation, mokoro excursions and game drives. It's typically added as a 2–3 night extension to a Chobe or Victoria Falls itinerary.
May to September (dry season) is best for game viewing, as wildlife concentrates around the permanent waterways and mokoro access is at its best. The delta floods seasonally, so water levels — and the best mokoro routes — shift through the year.
