Come for the Delta and the elephants of Chobe — the greatest water safari on earth. The golf is a gentle gateway round, and we'll always be honest about that.
The jewel of Africa — a wetland wonder explored by mokoro, boat and on foot, home to lion, leopard, wild dog and a glory of birds.
Chobe National Park
The largest elephant herds on the continent, best witnessed from the water as they gather on the river at dusk.
The Kalahari
Wooded grasslands and seasonal pans for the seasoned traveller after something quieter and wilder still.
The golf
The rounds
Gaborone · Par 72
Phakalane Golf Estate
Botswana's only championship course
An international-standard layout of 15 dams and 75 bunkers, fifteen minutes from the capital — a pleasant, well-kept round on your way in or out. In Botswana, the wild is the headline; the golf is the warm-up.
Shelagh's note
Don't come to Botswana for the golf. Come for the Delta, and bookend it with a round in Gaborone. Telling you that honestly is part of how we plan.
Most UK, US, EU and Commonwealth passports enter Botswana visa-free for up to 90 days. We confirm your nationality's rules at booking.
Why is Botswana safari more expensive?
Botswana deliberately keeps visitor numbers low — small camps of under a dozen tents, reached by light aircraft, in vast private concessions. You are paying for exclusivity and wilderness, and it shows the moment you land.
Is there really only one championship course?
Yes — Phakalane Golf Estate outside Gaborone. We say it plainly on every Botswana journey: here the golf is the bookend and the wilderness is the book.
Can my non-golfing partner come?
Absolutely — while the golfers play, our Gallery programme runs parallel experiences: game drives, spas, wine, walks and markets, reunited for lunch or sundowners. Non-golfers never sit out a day.
How do I get an exact price?
Open any journey and choose Price a Private Version — adjust the nights, keep or drop rounds and experiences, tell us who is travelling, and our quoting engine returns an exact private price, checked by a specialist, usually within one working day.
Are the hotel names confirmed?
Yes — every itinerary on this site names its exact properties, hand-picked from our register of fifty-two. None paid for, none reciprocated.
Tell us how you want to feel when you come home.
We'll build the wild, and the golf, around that — and nothing else.
