One of my favourite memories of Botswana was listening to the amazing sounds of the Okavango Delta at night. There’s something quite magical in listening to that abundance of nature and wildlife whilst safely relaxing in the comfort of the lodge.

Where to go
Okavango Delta
The incredible Okavango Delta has a well-deserved reputation as one of the world’s best wildlife habitats. During the dry season, its vast plains are flooded by the Okavango River, transforming it into an irresistible attraction for animals in search of water. Board a traditional mokoro to get up close and personal with its intriguing ecosystem or take a hot air balloon ride to see it all from above.
Discover moreLinyanti
With a combination of woodlands, ancient floodplains and watercourses, Botswana’s Linyanti is home to a dense and varied wildlife quotient. It is arguably the best place to see predators in Africa, and especially huge concentrations of elephants in the dry season - the best time to visit Botswana.
Discover moreChobe and Savuti
Located right at the northern edge of Botswana, close to the spectacular Victoria Falls on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe, Chobe National Park is known for the massive herds of elephants and buffalo that congregate on the banks of its river.
Discover moreMoremi Game Reserve
Set in the central and eastern part of the Okavango Delta, the Moremi Game Reserve comprises everything from lagoons and waterways to floodplains and forests. It is one of the best places to see Africa’s most famous predators - lions, leopards, hyenas and other species roam its surroundings alongside a large population of endangered wild dogs.
Discover moreThe Makgadikgadi Pans
The salt pans of Makgadikgadi might not be the best place for game viewing in Botswana but it offers some of the most incredible landscapes. The region consists of vast and empty salt pans, with nothing but scattered rocks and baobab trees. This area of Botswana is also home to the bushmen. Embark on an archaeological expedition and discover the history of the San people…
Discover moreCentral Kalahari Game Reserve
The Central Kalahari Game Reserve is the world’s second largest game reserve. It is home to the largest concentration of cheetahs in all southern Africa. In addition to exciting safaris and nature walks, the Kalahari is a perfect place to experience local culture and meet some of Africa’s earliest inhabitants.
Discover moreMobile Safari Expeditions
Botswana is one of the best places in Africa for adventure safaris as outdoor enthusiasts are able to experience the thrill of mobile camping. On a mobile safari expedition, you journey through some of the most remote areas while following the game.
Discover moreMombo Concession - Okavango
The Mombo Concession is located in the heart of the Okavango Delta. It is known as the predator capital of Africa and guarantees some of the best game viewing in the region - including the Big Five.
Discover moreMababe Concession
Mababe is a lesser-known and remote haven for a multitude of diverse wildlife and is a true adventure to explore. Find huge 2000 strong buffalo herds, massive herds of zebras, prides of lions, hyenas, cheetahs, wild dogs, bat-eared foxes, jackals, African wild cats and servals.

When to visit
May through to October are the best game viewing months as the climate is very dry and the water begins to recede, making the animals congregate in smaller areas. This period marks the best time to visit the Okavango Delta, Linyanti, Moremi and Chobe National Park.

Every detail was arranged and executed deftly. Not a single unpleasant surprise, but only delightful turns at every adventure. We were in four different camps in Namibia and Botswana and each proved unique in setting and game viewing. I didn't want this trip to ever end.
Amie and Angela planned the most unforgettable honeymoon for us in Botswana. They were so intentional and thoughtful about the itinerary, and every detail was taken care of. We will absolutely be recommending Jacada to friends and family and we cannot wait to plan another trip with the team.
Fourth time we’ve used Jacada and always great- logistics are all arranged, support teams on the ground super responsive, and beautiful location and itinerary. Top notch.
