This was our first trip with Enchanting Travels and I could not make a higher recommendation. From the time of planning to execution of our trip to Southern Africa, the service was excellent. The attention to detail of every aspect of our trip was outstanding. The trip was seamless, from transportation to accommodations. It was comforting to have a connection in Africa who met with us online prior to the trip and was available throughout our journey. The app with all of our travel plans and documents made the trip stress free. We plan to use Enchanting Travels again in the future.

We had an incredible experience with Enchanting Travels! We worked with both Alison, our travel consultant, and Cyprian, our trip coordinator. Alison did a fantastic job in catering our itinerary to meet all of our requests, and we had a wonderful trip to Namibia, Victoria Falls, Okavango Delta, and Chobe National Park. Alison and Cyprian were a wealth of knowledge and provided recommendations and insights that helped make our trip magical. We felt reassured knowing we had assistance every step of the way and they made sure our travels between 3 countries were seamless and easy. All of our hotels and lodges far exceeded expectations. They helped us take a trip of a lifetime!

We booked with Enchanting Travels because they were attentive, and took the time to understand what we wanted in a vacation! We felt confident the entire team would work as hard as the sales staff, and we were right – they did!! From the moment we made our 1st payment to the moment we walked off the plane at home, we felt confident in our decision to book with Enchanting!

Essential Information for your Private Tour of Botswana
Generally, the dry months from June to October are the best time to visit Botswana. Animals tend to congregate around watering holes, offering easy viewing and an increased chance of witnessing a hunt in action. These months are also the best time to visit neighboring countries like Tanzania, Kenya, and South Africa, allowing you to extend your safari throughout the continent.
This depends on your interests. The Mokodoli Wildlife Park is conveniently located near Gaborone and is packed with cheetahs, giraffes, and more. If you want to see wild elephants, Chobe National Park is the best place to visit. Khama Rhino Sanctuary offers great rhino-spotting opportunities, while the Central Kalahari Game Reserve is one of the few places to see black-maned lions.
Our safari tours in Botswana are very safe, as we take every precaution. With expert local guides and 24/7 assistance during your travels, you can relax knowing that you’re in safe hands.
Some general safety tips: stay in safari vehicles at all times, listen to your tour guide, and bring bug repellent to avoid malaria risks. This travel guide offers some more useful safety tips provided by our experts.
The parks you visit depend on the things you want to do in Botswana, but there are definitely popular reserves every itinerary should include. These are Chobe National Park, Okavango Delta, and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. We would also highly recommend adding Savunti and Linyanti to your safari for a truly authentic experience.
