Top 5 unique things to do in Botswana - For an adventurous holiday!

Looking for something different to do in Botswana? From mokoro tours of the Okavango Delta to camping among Botswana's wildlife, Botswana offers an unforgettable trip!

1

Take a mokoro ride in the Okavango Delta

The Okavango Delta is a must-see for everyone visiting Botswana. This is the most anticipated excursion because it was one of Africa's seven natural wonders. The Okavango Delta is a maze of lagoons, lakes, and secret waterways that stretches over 17,000 square kilometres. The easiest method to get there is by mokoro, a native canoe used by the natives for transportation. Many tourists do take a flight to the delta from Gaborone as they often like to spend some time in this city as there are many things to do in Gaborone. If you would like to find accommodation here, you can check out properties like Avani Gaborone Resort & Casino.

Join the San Bushmen for a hike

The San Bushmen are southern Africa's oldest residents, having resided here for around 50,000 years. They are now under attack from the modern world, with only a tiny population remaining in Botswana around Ghazni. You'll get the chance to meet this unique tribe and learn a lot about them on an overland camping trip. You might not comprehend a single word (or at times sound) of their lovely click language, but their manner of living will open your eyes. It's fascinating to discover how they store water by using ostrich eggs, the manner in which they hunt, how fires are made, and how they live – happiness in its purest form!

Spending a night among Botswana's wildlife

This is something you should put on your bucket list due to the largest elephant population in Africa. You can get up close to these incredible beasts at Elephant Sands, where the tagline is "where elephants rule." You may either stay in one of the stilt tents or bring your own tent and camp here for the night. This campground in Botswana is not gated, so elephants may come and go as they want.

Visit Chobe National Park in Botswana for a true Botswanian safari

Chobe National Park, often known as "Land of the Giants," is among Botswana's most attractive safari destinations and one of Africa's greatest national parks for elephant populations. The ideal months to head out on a safari are from July to October, which is also peak season for seeing the herds. The Chobe River region, which defines the park's northern boundary, has an exceptional abundance of resident animals, allowing game watching at any time of year.

Take a helicopter ride over Botswana's Okavango Delta

This is the place to go for the ultimate experience and a bird's-eye perspective of the Okavango Delta! It's an adventure that allows you to observe all of the beautiful animals in a way that is impossible to see from the ground. It's the only way to really appreciate the beauty that Botswana boasts of. So, make sure you hop on the ride of your life!
