Planning your first Botswana safari can feel a little overwhelming – when to go, what to pack, where to stay – but that’s where this guide comes in. We’ll walk you through everything you need to know to feel confident, prepared, and wildly excited for what’s to come.

Botswana offers a rare sense of peace – no rush, just you and the vastness of the landscape. A wellness safari here is an invitation to step away from daily distractions and immerse yourself in a setting that naturally inspires relaxation and reflection. As you slow down and reconnect with yourself, the stillness of nature clears your mind, sparks creativity, and sharpens your focus.

Isn’t it time to rediscover your sense of calm?

Driven and informed by local communities, African Bush Camps Foundation is committed to long-term conservation while empowering the people surrounding our African Bush Camps Experiences. African Bush Camps Foundation and Lolebezi are therefore delighted to announce our partnership with Conservation Lower Zambezi to support the Kufadza female scouts: Zambia’s first all-women ranger team.

Join South African photographer and passionate storyteller, Jemma, as she experiences the wonders of Thorntree River Lodge, resting on the shores of Zambia’s mighty Zambezi River.

At African Bush Camps, every meal is carefully curated to complement your journey. Whether it’s a bush breakfast in the golden savanna, a sundowner with perfectly paired canapés, or a candlelit dinner under a canopy of stars, each meal is an experience in itself.

In celebration of World Safari Day on the 25th of November, we are proud to partner with African Jacquard, who will be donating 20% of revenue from their new Safari Collection to African Bush Camps Foundation.​ The funds raised from the Safari Collection’s sales will go directly to African Bush Camps Foundation’s Back-To-School Campaign.
