Frequently Asked Questions

These are the questions we are asked most often about using this site. For the trip itself, the Botswana travel guide and the Botswana safari guide cover the ground in depth, while the best time to visit, safari costs and where to stay guides answer most planning questions before they come up.

Do you book tours or safaris?

No. We are an independent guide. Arrange your trip with one of the recognised operators listed across this site.

How current is the information?

Guides are reviewed regularly, but park fees and schedules change, always confirm current rates with the relevant park authority or your operator before travelling.

Can you recommend an operator?

The tour operators and safari companies listed on this site arrange trips in Botswana. Choose one that fits your dates and budget and reach out to them directly. Your enquiry goes to the operator rather than to us, and our privacy policy explains what that means for your details.

How do I plan a Botswana trip?

Start with the travel guide, then read the best-time, cost and where-to-stay guides. Our worked Botswana itineraries show how the nights are usually split. When you have a shape for the trip, send it to an operator for a quote.
