Fin de 15 jours extraordinaires dans la région de Cap en Afrique du Sud.
Le voyage personnalisé a été organisé par Julie Lancien, travel planner en collaboration avec Vialala.
Avant le départ et tout au long de l’organisation, Julie a été à l’écoute de mes attentes et s’est intéressée à ce que je recherchais dans ce voyage.
Un livret de voyage m’a été envoyé bien avant le départ, plus que complet.
Arrivée sur place, je n’avais qu’à profiter et découvrir puisque tout était prêt, organisé et réservé ! Un réel soulagement sur place 😅.
Tous les partenaires sélectionnés sur place étaient très accueillants.
Mille mercis pour ce voyage, pour les conseils et bonnes adresses.
Je recommande les yeux fermés Julie Lancien et Vialala.

Botswana represents the very essence of wild Africa, a territory where nature still reigns supreme. Unlike other safari destinations, this Southern African country has made the bold choice of sustainable, high-quality tourism, away from the beaten path.
Exemplary political stability and strong environmental commitment
Since its independence in 1966, Botswana has emerged as one of the most stable democracies on the African continent. This political stability has allowed the government to protect over 38% of its national territory, creating a true sanctuary for wildlife. Covering an area of 581,730 sq km, the country now hosts the world's largest elephant population, estimated at over 130,000 individuals.
Luxury tourism respectful of the environment
Your journey to Botswana will immerse you in a unique tourism model: high value, low impact. This philosophy ensures exclusive experiences in upscale lodges, where the number of visitors is intentionally limited. The private concessions, which extend over thousands of hectares, offer you total intimacy with nature, without the crowds of mass safaris.
Must-visit destinations for your Botswana safari
Each region of Botswana reveals different facets of wild Africa, creating a journey with multiple faces that our Travel Planners will orchestrate according to your desires.
The Okavango Delta: a natural miracle
In the heart of the Kalahari Desert springs one of the most extraordinary geographical phenomena on the planet. The Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, covers 15,000 sq km and forms a unique aquatic maze. Unlike other deltas that flow into the ocean, this one loses itself in the desert sands, creating a lush oasis.
Your exploration of this sanctuary will be aboard a mokoro, a traditional silent canoe that allows you to glide among the papyrus without disturbing the wildlife. The delta's islands harbor an exceptional biodiversity: sitatunga antelopes adapted to swampy areas, Nile crocodiles, hippopotamuses, and over 400 bird species. The Moremi Game Reserve, located to the east of the delta, perfectly combines dry lands and wet areas, offering one of the highest concentrations of wild animals in Africa.
Chobe National Park: kingdom of elephants
Established in 1967 over 10,566 sq km, Chobe Park is Botswana's first national park. This reserve hosts the world's largest elephant population, with nearly 50,000 pachyderms converging towards the Chobe River during the dry season. Your safari will reveal scenes of rare intensity: herds of elephants crossing the river at sunset, lions hunting in packs, leopards resting in sausage trees.
The Savuti region, located in the western part of Chobe National Park, deserves special attention. This semi-arid area, fed by the mysterious intermittent Savuti Channel, attracts exceptional wildlife. Predators are particularly active here, notably lions known for attacking juvenile elephants.
The Kalahari Desert: vastness and authenticity
Spanning 930,000 sq km across Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa, the Kalahari Desert offers strikingly beautiful landscapes. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a true desert but rather a semi-arid savannah dotted with acacias and centuries-old baobabs.
The Central Kalahari Game Reserve, with its 52,800 sq km, represents one of the largest protected areas in the world. During the rainy season, from December to April, this region transforms into a verdant meadow where zebras, wildebeests, and springboks graze. It is also the territory of the San people, Africa's last hunter-gatherers, who perpetuate age-old traditions.
How to organize your tailor-made safari in Botswana?
Organizing a trip to Botswana requires special expertise that our Travel Planners master perfectly. Every detail counts to turn your African dream into an unforgettable reality.
Various styles of safari according to your desires
Your unique experience in Botswana can take several forms depending on your preferences and your budget. Lodge safaris represent the most comfortable option: accommodation in luxury camps, included domestic flights, experienced naturalist guides, and full board. These establishments, often located in private concessions, offer exclusive activities such as night safaris or guided walking tours with armed guides.
For travelers seeking independence, self drive is an attractive alternative. This road trip formula allows you to explore national parks at your own pace, in a 4x4 equipped for camping. Our Travel Planners will provide all necessary equipment: roof tents, refrigerators, cooking gear, and GPS with pre-recorded points of interest.
Mobile safaris represent an ideal compromise between comfort and adventure. Your camp moves daily, allowing you to explore different ecosystems while benefiting from personalized service: chef, naturalist guide, and dedicated camp team.
Custom support from our Travel Planners
Our local experts, true enthusiasts of African wildlife, design your itinerary based on your specific interests. Wildlife photographers, families with children, honeymoon couples, or groups of adventurous friends: each profile benefits from a personalized program.
Our Travel Planners also integrate possible extensions to Victoria Falls, located just 1.5 hours drive from Chobe Park. These spectacular waterfalls, 108 meters high and 1,708 meters wide, are one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Victoria Falls offers many complementary activities: helicopter overflight, rafting on the Zambezi, or sunset cruises.

The dry season from May to October is ideal for wildlife observation. Temperatures range between 25°C during the day and 5°C at night. Animals congregate around permanent water points, making them easier to observe. However, the rainy season (November to April) has its own attractions: green landscapes, birth of animals, and migration of zebras in the Kalahari.
Our tailor-made trips incorporate all logistical aspects: domestic flights between different destinations, ground transfers, selected accommodations, and exclusive activities. This turnkey approach allows you to focus solely on marveling at the wild beauty of Botswana.

The self-drive options are more affordable, starting from 200 euros per day for two people, including 4x4 equipment. Our Travel Planners will propose various options according to your budget.
What duration is recommended to discover Botswana?
A duration of 10 to 14 days allows you to discover the key sites of Botswana without hurry. This timing gives you enough time to explore the Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park, and a region of the Kalahari, while including an extension to the Victoria Falls. Our experts can also design shorter stays of 7 days for an initial approach or longer trips combining several Southern African countries.
What is the best time to observe wildlife?
The dry season, from May to October, offers the best conditions for observing wildlife. Animals gather around permanent water points and less dense vegetation makes them easier to spot. July to September are the peak months with pleasant temperatures but maximum tourist attendance. The May-June and October period presents an excellent compromise between observation conditions and tranquility.
