home About Abacus Africa Safaris

A visit to rural Africa is like a step back in time where nature rules and mankind is but a spectator. It is not surprising then that for travelers, this is a trip of a lifetime and Botswana does not disappoint.

Low impact tourism ensures that Botswana’s abundant natural resources remain unspoiled, offering vast areas of pristine African wilderness, emerald green wetlands, red desert sands, riverine forests and expansive floodplains, including the Okavango Delta, Chobe River and game reserve, Makgadikgadi Pans and Kalahari Desert.

120,000 Elephants
Botswana is home to some of the largest populations of wildlife in Africa, including an estimated 120,000 elephants. The largest concentrations of elephants congregate in herds too large to count along the flood plains of the Chobe River. Pods of hippo float like rafts. Buffalo, crocodiles, baboons and antelope share the riverbanks and great predators hunt the grasslands and wilderness of Moremi and Savuti.
Wildlife and Wilderness
Botswana’s unspoiled wilderness is a landscape of diversity and contrasts, with emerald green wetlands, red desert sands, riverine forests, expansive floodplains and savannas teeming with wildlife. With 17% of the land area set aside for wildlife, Botswana is one of Africa’s finest safari destinations.
Water and Land Safaris
The diverse eco-systems that characterize this wilderness allow for both water and land safari experiences. Safaris along the Chobe River by boat provide close access to the riverbanks and the multitude of wildlife that the river supports. Crocodiles bask on the sand banks. Vast numbers of hippo gather in large pods. Antelope, elephant, buffalo, baboons and many smaller species frequent the water’s edge. Photographic opportunities are limitless. The lonely cry of fish eagles and the spectacular sunsets over the water are our lifelong memories of Chobe.

The beautiful oasis of the Okavango Delta defines another very different experience of a safari on water. Mokoro canoe adventures and even a safari on elephant back are options not to be missed. Off-road eco-sensitive safaris in an open 4x4 provide a perfect balance to this ultimate safari experience, with endless opportunities for really close encounters with Africa’s big game. Imagine observing hyena pups at their den deep in the bush, or tracking a cheetah and her cubs to her kill on the plains.
