HAPPY HATHI TIP
The more you explore Botswana, the deeper it draws you in. A helicopter ride over the Delta is worth every bit, offering unmatched perspective. Pair it with the Kalahari for striking contrasts, and don’t miss a private boat safari in Chobe. In Savuti, pack layers; it gets colder than you’d expect. But above all, take your time. Botswana’s quiet, immersive magic reveals itself slowly—and that’s exactly the point.
