Top Safari in Botswana

Bring a good pair of binoculars! You'll want them for the wildlife sightings. I borrowed some from a friend and regretted not having my own for those close encounters with elephants and lions.

My advice is to hire a private guide instead of going on a large group safari. You get way more personalized attention, and they know the best spots for seeing wildlife. It's worth the extra cash, and you'll save time since you won’t have to wait around for others

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!

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!
