Discover the underrated wonders of Botswana, with a crash course on travelling around the region. Known for its untouched landscapes, abundant wilderness, and colourful heritage, exploring Botswana promises an unforgettable journey chasing the beauty of southern Africa.

When to Visit
Due to changes in the climate, Botswana’s seasons follow a loose guideline. Typically, however, the best time to book your stay at a Botswana resort is during the dry season, from May through October.
These months are considered the best for wildlife spotting, as well as for having pleasant, cool weather and minimal crowds, despite being peak season.
Getting to Botswana
The easiest way to get to Botswana is to book a flight to Gaborone’s international airport, located 20 minutes from city hotels like Avani Gaborone Resort & Casino. However, for those keen on exploring the northern landscapes first, consider landing in Zambia or Zimbabwe. Botswana’s stunning border towns are just a short drive from Livingstone and Victoria Falls, offering incredible wildlife sights along the riverbanks.
Botswanian Cuisine
Cradled by rich southern African cultures and diverse natural landscapes, Botswanian cuisine is a reflection of the nation’s colourful heritage and bounty. Staple dishes include seswaa (slow-cooked, shredded beef or goat), bogobe (sorghum porridge), and vetkoek (fried dough filled with meat), promising a hearty meal at any camp or restaurant in Botswana.
Must-See Sites
Although Botswana is packed with an endless collection of stunning sites, some adventures are too essential to leave out from your travel itinerary. Visit the Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and explore the riverbank ecosystem on canoe safaris and game drives.
The otherworldly Makgadikadi Salt Pans should not be missed either. As one of the largest salt flats on earth, this surreal landscape offers views unlike any other, accompanied by seasonal wildlife migrations.
