Our Founder-Led Botswana Safari is an intimate 10-night journey through three of the country’s most contrasting wilderness areas. Beginning in Johannesburg, we travel from the Boteti River and Makgadikgadi Pans National Park to the wetlands of the Moremi Game Reserve, before continuing into the predator-rich landscapes of Savute in Chobe National Park.

Personally hosted by Martin and Antje Meyer and limited to only six guests, this is Botswana experienced slowly, thoughtfully and in very good company. This is not simply a collection of lovely lodges joined together by small aircraft. It is a carefully designed journey through changing landscapes, remarkable ecosystems and some of Africa’s most rewarding wildlife areas—with two people beside you who have built their lives around exploring, guiding and sharing this continent.

From the waterways of the Okavango Delta to the elephants and predators of Savute, every part of the journey felt thoughtfully connected. Antje handled the details beautifully and helped us enormously with our photography, while Martin’s knowledge transformed every game drive. Botswana exceeded everything we had imagined.

The six-person group was exactly right: intimate enough to feel personal, but still wonderfully social. Every flight, transfer and camp change felt effortless, leaving us free to enjoy the wildlife and landscapes. Travelling with Martin and Antje gave us complete confidence from beginning to end.

March falls within Botswana’s green season, a beautiful and frequently underestimated time to travel.

Summer rainfall transforms the landscape. Vegetation is green, skies become dramatic and the light can be exceptional for photography. Migratory birds remain present, many antelope species have young and predator encounters can be particularly rewarding. There may be afternoon thunderstorms and some safari tracks can become muddy. We consider this part of the experience rather than evidence of a national emergency. Rain usually arrives in dramatic bursts, bringing cooler air, spectacular skies and the wonderful scent of the bush after a storm. Green-season safaris also tend to feel quieter than the traditional dry-season months. For travellers who value atmosphere, photography, birdlife and a more layered view of Botswana, March can be enormously rewarding.

This Privately Guided Botswana Safari is designed for travellers who want more than a sequence of wildlife sightings. It is ideal for couples, friends and family members who enjoy small groups, thoughtful guiding and meaningful conversation. It will appeal to first-time safari travellers who value the reassurance of experienced hosts, as well as returning visitors who want to experience Botswana with greater context and depth. Photographers are very welcome, but this is not exclusively a photographic safari. Non-photographers will not be abandoned beside a lagoon while the rest of the group debates shutter speeds. Because single accommodation is not available, reservations must be made on a shared-room basis.
