The world’s ultimate wildlife haven

Botswana’s incredible natural beauty coupled with a national focus on conservation makes for an exceptional safari experience. From desert to delta you’ll experience abundant flora and fauna, meet inspiring people and fall in love with this landlocked country.

Venture across a tangle of rugged tracks, crossing over fossilised river valleys, expansive stretches of grasslands and rusted-red savannahs in search of animal sightings. Around dusty bends, in the thick of foliage and splashing through basins, you’ll spot elephants, hippos, wild dogs, zebras, wildebeest and more.

Even journeying to reach your next camp is an adventure in its own right, each turn revealing a new marvel: perhaps graceful giraffes browsing on acacia trees and elusive predators prowling through the grasslands.

Our Africa experts, with decades of safari experience between them, have unparalleled knowledge of Botswana’s wide variety of lodges and luxury tented camps. We’ve come face-to-face with prides of roaring lions, drifted through the narrow channels of the Delta by mokoro, and gathered around campfires for countless traditional boma nights.

We’re regularly on location to visit new properties and revisit old favourites, bringing this expertise to every bespoke safari we plan. No Jacada journey to Botswana is alike, but all allow you to witness some of the most incredible landscapes and wildlife spectacles on the planet – with your perfect mix of game viewing, destinations and activities.
