Top Parks in Botswana

I recommend getting your supplies from Upington before you enter the park. The local shops have much better prices than the park shops, which can be super pricey. Trust me, you'll save a bunch!

I recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks. The prices at the park's shops can be a bit steep and you don’t want to miss out on that perfect wildlife moment because you're waiting in line for overpriced water. Trust me I learned the hard way!

My advice is to explore the Nxai Pan during the late afternoon, around 4 PM. The wildlife is more active, and you'll catch stunning sunsets that are simply magical. Don't miss the photo ops!

My advice is to visit in the early morning, around 7 AM. The animals are super active then, and it’s way cooler outside, which makes for a more enjoyable experience. Plus, you'll beat the crowds!

I suggest packing a good pair of binoculars. You might spot some amazing wildlife from a distance, and trust me, it adds a whole new level to your visit. It's also great for saving time on long walks to get up close!

I recommend starting your hike around 7 AM to catch the sunrise and avoid the heat later. The views are breathtaking at that time and you'll have the path mostly to yourself!

I recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks. The park has limited options, and buying food there can feel a bit pricey. My picnic was a highlight of the visit!
