True Botswana Honeymoon Travel

Botswana is best enjoyed when staying at one or a combination of the small, high quality lodges in the remote locations across the northern regions of the country. Those small lodges, with their high levels of service, attention to detail and privacy of safari experience are at the very top of their game and, as long as you listen to the advice offered by your experienced consultant at True Luxury Trave, you will be able to choose the right locations and lodges for your interests and the best time of year to travel.

One of the most notable features of Botswana is the size of the private safari concessions in the north of the country. It’s not uncommon to talk about an area in the hundreds of thousands of acres, it is just that vast. In an area the size of some small countries you may find there are only a handful of safari vehicles out at any one time. So the dreaded traffic jams around wildlife sightings, sadly common in some areas of Africa, are non-existent here. This is great for honeymooners looking for that feeling of truly being in wild Africa, far away from smartphones and disruption of other tourists.

An added benefit of Botswana for any visitor, but again something which really appeals to honeymooners, is the varied activity options. Game drives in the day and night, walking safaris, mokoro (dugout canoe) trips, boat safaris, fishing, horse riding safaris, helicopter flights and authentic cultural experiences are just some of a number of options to choose from. This is not a destination to be stuck in a vehicle, but again, choosing the right location and set of activities for you can be difficult. The experience of the True Travel team means you are best placed to make the right decision on location and length of stay to make the most of a Botswana safari.

Seasonality is key in Botswana and this is where the help of your consultant really comes to the fore. Two very distinct seasons – a wet and a dry – combine with an unusual set of geographical features meaning that an experience at one time of year can be altogether different to that a matter of months later. It is very easy to get Botswana wrong, to be sent to an area where you are limited in the activities and restricted in your game viewing due to certain climatic and geographical features.

Ultimately, Botswana is one of those countries which really stirs the safari soul: the Okavango Delta, Linyanti Floodplains, Savuti Marsh, Chobe River, Makgadikgadi Salt Pans and the Kalahari Desert are just some of a wide variety of unique destinations offering unforgettable experiences.
