Explore the Untamed Beauty of Botswana
If you’re seeking a safari that feels truly off the beaten path, Botswana delivers in every way. With vast, untouched wilderness and one of the lowest population densities in the world, this is where you come to experience Africa at its wildest and most awe-inspiring — meaning more space for wildlife, fewer crowds, and a deeper connection to nature. Here, you’ll find just raw, authentic beauty stretching from the arid Kalahari Desert to the lush waterways of the Okavango Delta.
The Okavango Delta is one of the largest inland deltas on Earth and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Teeming with wildlife, it’s a paradise for photographers and nature lovers alike. Just to the west lies Chobe National Park, home to Africa’s largest population of elephants—where you can watch herds gather by the riverbanks, often just meters away.
Botswana’s landscapes are as diverse as its wildlife. From the shimmering salt pans of Makgadikgadi to the rain-nourished grasslands of the Central Kalahari, each region offers its own unforgettable encounters: flamingos in their thousands, stalking lions on the prowl, and silent sunsets over golden savannahs.
And while Botswana may feel wonderfully remote, it’s within easy reach of the mighty Victoria Falls—one of the natural wonders of the world—located just across the northern border.

kirarockie5 October 2025Verified Outstanding company to work with This is the third time I have used Gamewatchers to book our Kenya safari. From the start of booking to the finish of our trip, everything has been superb. Zuhura put together our trip on each occasion and made changes for me when I wanted to add places or amend anything. She was extremely thorough, professional and informative throughout the whole process. Once landing in Kenya we were greeted by a Gamewatchers' representative and all information about our trip was discussed with us again. We took many internal flights and everything was organised to the smallest detail. Our guides met us at the airstrips and you never felt unsure about anything, right up until the time we were dropped back at the airport. I highly recommend Gamewaters Safaris and we definitely use them again on our next trip. Wombling_Free_75484 October 2025Verified Knowledgeable and professional We had a great experience with Boniface and David. Knowledgeable and professional guides, who were keen to make sure that we had the best trip possible and were happy to help in any way. Arrangements all ran smoothly and we felt well looked after at all times. Thank you, donna S3 October 2025Verified An awesome experience! I was in awe throughout the safari! To experience these magnificent creatures up close and personally was an amazing experience. I can't stop talking about it! Simonc2 October 2025Verified Porcini lion camp and Ngenche Camp The most wonderful experience we have ever had. The trip exceeded all our expectations. There was nothing more they could have done at every level Jude Y25 September 2025Verified excellent experience We really enjoyed the trip to Masai Mara and Nakuru. We were able to see a lot of animals, the Big Five many many times. We saw the lions in nearly every game drive. When we arrived Nairobi, we worried about the food we were going get in the camps, We were looking for the cup noodles in the supermarkets, but were not able to find any. It turned out, no noodles were needed. The food in the camps were excellent. We booked a private trip. The night before the safari, a staff member from Gamewatchers contacted us in the Nairobi hotel and told us the guide would meet us in the lobby in the morning to start the safari. We met up with the guide in the morning, and the guide took us to the camps and did the all the games drives in the next 10 days. The guide, Paul, is very experienced. We were able to see many scenic places and many animals. In the end, Paul dropped us off in the Nairobi hotel. The arrangement was seamless. The person, Wayne Hammond, in Gamewatchers who booked trip for us is very experienced as well. He was able to tell us exactly what to expect. Gamewatchers is a trusted agent. I definitely will recommend it to anyone/everyone. Andreas J23 September 2025Verified Another great safari experience This was my 4th time with this company on a safari in Kenya. As always everything worked out perfectly from booking to payment to every transport on time.Another great safari experience. Ruth M16 September 2025Verified Accommodations arranged were wonderful. Some services not provided as promised. The safari part of our package was wonderful and went smoothly. However, nobody met us at the Nairobi airport to transfer us to our hotel. This was included in our package. As a result, we got scammed by a man at the airport who charged us an inflated rate for the ride to hotel. We stayed 2 nights in Nairobi and had an included tour of Nairobi, which went well. Then, the last morning, we were supposed to be taken to the airport for our flight to our safari camp. Nobody from Gamewatchers showed up. The people at the hotel called them and we were told to have the hotel take us. So, we had to rush to leave extra bags at the hotel and have them take us. Luckily, we made it on time. Once I arrived home, I emailed the CEO and he apologized and refunded the money we paid for the transfers. sherry r15 September 2025Verified A trip of memories of a lifetime adventure. A wonderful experience with Porini Camps. All arrangements were perfect, staff at the camps were welcoming and made us feel like we were family. Dealing with Rick McIntyre to handle the details for our trip was a pleasure. Go7112348 September 2025Verified Fantastic ,the only way to go on safari Excellent safari. Everything went as planed, great accommodation ,food staff couldn’t do enough for our comfort The guides were exceptional and gave us the best advantage to see the wildlife. Christine Roffey Don A25 August 2025Verified Gamewatchers Safari - Trip of a Lifetime! A Gamewatchers safari with stays at the Porini Camps (we stayed at Amboselli, Rhino, and Mara) is a wonderful experience that you will not forget. Each camp, while having the same amenities, offer a different atmosphere in different ecosystems. The hospitality was great from all the staff. Guides are well-trained and cater to your needs and desires for wildlife observation. I am a birder, and they pointed out birds as well as mammals, trees, etc. We learned SO much and our heads were full of all the new knowledge and appreciation for the animals that we received. Game drives were comfortable, and viewing was excellent. Arrangements were seamless. Great value for what we received.Above all, the Gamewatchers philosophy of conservation and respect for the indigenous people makes the trip even more worthwhile.

Hi, I’m Rae, based on the West Coast of Canada, on beautiful Vancouver Island. I’m a passionate traveler who has explored nearly 30 countries, but it was a solo journey to Africa that truly transformed my perspective. From the moment I arrived in Botswana, I felt an undeniable connection to the continent and was inspired to spend more time experiencing its extraordinary wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, and rich cultures. My solo travels have since taken me through Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mauritius, South Africa, Uganda, Namibia, and Kenya, where I experienced Gamewatchers Safaris and Porini Camps firsthand. It was during these immersive and unforgettable journeys that my passion for Africa evolved into a clear vision: to join the Gamewatchers team and help others discover the magic of safari. I’d love to connect and plan your wildest dreams!
