Botswana Safari Specials for Locals
Botswana Safari Specials for SADC Residents: Botswana’s stellar reputation for wildlife has always been matched by its prices; it’s not the cheapest safari destination. There is, after all, a price to pay for paradise. Botswana is where the elephants are counted in their tens of thousands, a destination of big cats, wild dogs and endless miles of pristine wilderness.
But if you live in a SADC country (see below) – as a citizen or expatriate – and have proof of your residency, then you qualify for highly-discounted safari packages with some of Botswana’s top safari operators: Belmond Safaris, Wilderness Safaris, Machaba Safaris, Desert & Delta, Ker & Downey, Natural Selection, and Great Plains Conservation.
You’ll explore the Okavango Delta by traditional mokoro (canoe), cruise the Chobe River by boat and patrol the legendary Savuti Marsh by 4X4; other tours include the teeming Kalahari, home to big cats and a summer zebra migration. Accommodation – in the form of tented camps and thatched lodges – is set right in the reserves or in adjoining private concessions where you also enjoy walking safaris and spot-lit night drives.
It’s a real deal too: depending on the lodge, you’ll be paying between ZAR 5950 and 13500 per person per night. You’ll get wonderful en suite accommodation and all your meals, two scheduled safari activities a day, tea, coffee and snacks and local-brand soft and alcoholic drinks plus your laundry and park fees. The SADC specials run all year – low, shoulder and high seasons – and, unless indicated, are priced at the same rate, regardless of season. Contact Safari Online and we’ll put together the right package for you.
Most itineraries will fly you into and out of Botswana, usually via the busy little town of Maun, gateway to the Okavango Delta and most other safari destinations in Botswana. But if you are planning a self-drive safari to Botswana then chances are you’ll be heading for Maun anyway. Why not take advantage of these Botswana Safari Specials for SADC Residence and add on two or three nights at a lodge – especially in a harder-to-access destination such as the deep Okavango Delta, Khwai River or Savuti.

Add the Victoria Falls
Set at the heart of the Southern Africa safari experience, Victoria Falls makes the ideal opening or closing chapter to your Botswana safari. Close to Botswana’s Chobe River and with accommodation in Zimbabwe or Zambia, you can easily fly in or make use of a cost-saving overland transfer – and Victoria Falls is well worth the effort.
There are also some Specials for SADC Residents in the Victoria Falls region and therefore a great way to end your safari. Contact Safari Online and we’ll put together the right package for you.
