Why a golf safari here
Otherworldly
Dunes, gravel plains and ringing silence
Desert golf
Rossmund — one of only five all-grass desert courses on earth
Safari-first
In Botswana, the wild is everything; we'll say so plainly
The wild
The whole reason you come.
Namibia is a dream world in real life: dunes three hundred metres high, gigantic skies, desert-adapted elephant. Botswana is the water wilderness — the Okavango by mokoro, Chobe's elephants by the thousand. Here the wild is the headline and the golf is the bookend; telling you that honestly is part of how we plan.
The Okavango Delta
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.
Etosha & Chobe
Floodlit waterholes and easy big game in Etosha; the largest elephant herds on the continent gathering on the Chobe at dusk.
The golf
The rounds we'd play ourselves.

Rossmund
One of only five all-grass desert courses on earth — emerald fairways carved straight from the Namib. Sometimes the fairway is the bunker.

Omeya Golf Club
A world-class layout ringed by mountains, with antelope and warthog in the rough and camel-thorn shade.

Phakalane Golf Estate
Botswana's only championship course — fifteen dams, seventy-five bunkers, fifteen minutes from the capital. A pleasant, well-kept round on your way in or out; in Botswana the wild is the headline.
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.

Good questions
Asked before you booked
Do I need a visa for Botswana?
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.
