For Botswana, many strong itineraries include Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park, Moremi Game Reserve, Savuti and Khwai Community Area. The better choice is the one that gives enough time in the best wildlife areas for your dates, not simply the one with the most park names.
Ask for route notes, lodge names and transfer details in writing so you can compare one proposal with another fairly.

- Review lodge level, park fees and inclusions before choosing.
Costs, Timing and Availability
Safari costs in Botswana depend on season, accommodation, park fees, permits, vehicle type, guide arrangements, domestic flights, transfer distance and how many travelers share the booking.
Use a current written quote rather than relying on old rates. The quote should list accommodation, route, inclusions, exclusions, payment terms and cancellation rules.
