Who We Are

 

Botes Safaris is more than a safari operator — we are storytellers of Africa, crafting journeys that allow travelers to connect with the land, wildlife, and people in a way that is authentic and unforgettable. Founded by passionate adventurers and wildlife enthusiasts, our company was born from the desire to share the raw beauty of Africa with guests who crave more than a standard tour.

 

From the roaring Victoria Falls to the quiet mokoro rides in the Okavango Delta, from self-driving through Botswana’s game reserves to relaxing at luxury lodges — we provide journeys that balance adventure and comfort, wildness and safety, independence and guidance.
