I've also been visiting Africa, and Botswana in particular, since I was a kid. When I was putting this scouting trip together with just a few weeks notice, I sketched out all of the camps I've been to in the Okavango, and I realized I've visited more than 100 camps over 40 years of travel!

In March 2024, Next Adventure’s Marketing Director Jeremy Townsend embarked on a classic overland safari on Tanzania’s iconic Northern Circuit visiting Arusha National Park, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and the whole of the Southern Serengeti from the Kakesio plains through Ndutu, Naabi and the Seronera Valley.

From logpiles to treehouses, these safari camps go beyond the traditional game drive experience by providing strategically placed hides that allow you to get up close and personal with animals in their natural habitat.

Whether you seek a lavish vacation, a private adventure, or memorable family experiences, Botswana has it all. This guide will take you through our top safari camps in Botswana to help you plan a fantastic luxury wildlife safari.
