the natural way to explore wilderness
Famous for blended walking and mekoro safaris in the waterways of the Okavango delta, Botswana’s wilderness is rewarding to explore on foot. In the vastness of that world-famous delta, there are many lodges and camps that combine vehicle, boat and foot safaris.
To the north of the Okavango, there is excellent lodge-based walking in the less-visited Linyanti river system. Chobe National Park does not allow walking, but there are interesting guided walks just outside the park.
Off the beaten track in the Tuli Block that borders Zimbabwe and South Africa there is also good walking terrain and interesting walks-centric nature training camps.
See Chapter 6 of Walking Safaris of Africa for detailed information about the country’s walking safaris.
