Botswana Vacations & Trips

A Botswana vacation package in Gaborone lets you combine flights, hotel stays, and rental cars. These packages typically include roundtrip airfare to Gaborone (GBE-Sir Seretse Khama Intl.) and accommodation. Nearly a third of hotels in Gaborone offer airport shuttle service, and nearly a third also provide free breakfast to start your day.


Exactly what's included will vary by hotel and package, so it's worth reviewing the details before you confirm your booking.

When you bundle, you can save up to 30%*. To save money on a Botswana package, consider traveling during the quieter months or be flexible with your dates to find more options. Bundling your flights and hotel together often unlocks savings compared to booking separately. *Members only. Savings vary.

The best time for a Botswana vacation is typically during the drier months from June to July, and in September, which see the highest demand from travelers. These months are ideal for wildlife viewing as animals congregate around water sources.


If you prefer a quieter trip with fewer visitors, consider traveling in January, March, or May. These months generally experience lower demand, offering a more serene experience.

For a Botswana vacation, consider basing your trip in one of these destinations, each offering a distinct experience:

• Gaborone: As the capital, it serves as the main base for travelers seeking urban attractions, family-friendly activities, and city conveniences, with the most lodging choices.
• Maun: Ideal for adventure and eco-friendly travel, Maun is the gateway to the Okavango Delta, offering outdoor activities and scenic views.
• Kasane: A strong choice for romantic getaways and wildlife enthusiasts, Kasane provides access to Chobe National Park and is known for its outdoor activities and scenic beauty.
• Francistown: For those interested in outdoor adventures and eco-friendly travel in the northeastern part of the country, Francistown offers a base with scenic views and various activities.

Botswana is primarily an outdoor and nature destination, renowned for its exceptional wildlife and vast landscapes. Travelers can experience world-class safaris in areas like the Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park, which are home to diverse animal populations.


Alongside its natural beauty, Botswana offers a rich cultural and historical experience. Sites like Tsodilo Hills feature ancient rock art, while the Domboshaba ruins provide insights into early states in southern Africa. The country's music, traditional crafts, and cuisine also contribute to a vibrant cultural tapestry.


Botswana provides a compelling blend of adventure, wildlife viewing, and deep cultural immersion for travelers.

For a Botswana vacation, the primary gateways depend on your destination within the country. Sir Seretse Khama International Airport (GBE) in Gaborone serves the capital and southern regions.


Maun Airport (MUB) is the main hub for travelers heading to the Okavango Delta and surrounding safari areas. For those visiting Chobe National Park and the northern wildlife reserves, Kasane Airport (BBK) offers convenient access.
