Welcome to Southern Botswana

We will give you a taste of our urban city lifestyle in the capital city Gaborone. We have direct flights from Johannesburg and Capetown that fly to our city as well as Ethiopian Airline ehich also flies direct to Gaborone. So in terms of air accessibility, you are covered. However, should you wish to travel by road from Johannesburg, you can rent a car and go on a 4 hr drive adventure and also, you can catch a bus from OR Tambo International Aiport which can bring you to Gaborone and its a 6hr very comfortable ride.

Another town where we can take you in in the Ghanzi region where you can get to meet the Basarwa people commonly known as the Bushmen to some. Ghanzi is quite a distance from Gaborone but closer to Namibia and therefore, this is an experience that we highly recommend if you are coming from the Namibia side because logistically it works perfectly. You could come in from Namibia spend a night or two there then proceed to the Okavango region and further proceed to the upper Northern part of Botswana and experience the Tsodilo Hills which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. And if you continue further up Northern Botswana, you will see where the Okavango river stream starts, amazing birdlife and beautiful boat experience as you navigate through the river channels.

We would also love to take you to the Okavango Delta and Chobe to experience Nature at its best also be able to interact with the locals in those areas. Expect to go on an amazing journey with us which allows you to meet the locals from these amazing regions and also be able to enjoy the amazing wildlife.
