Experience the World with Africa Compass Safaris

 Located in northern Botswana, the Okavango Delta is a stunning, water-rich oasis in the heart of the Kalahari .

The landscape is a patchwork of floodplains, palm-dotted islands, reed-lined channels, and grassy savannahs, offering stunning scenery year-round.

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is rich in wildlife, including elephants, buffalo, lions, leopards, hippos, and the elusive African wild dog. The waters and wetlands also support an incredible variety of birds, with over 400 species recorded—making it a birdwatcher’s paradise.

Guests staying at lodges in the Delta enjoy mokoro excursions, boat cruises, guided walks, and game drives, all offering intimate access to one of Africa’s most pristine and biologically diverse environments. The Delta is more than a safari destination—it's a living, breathing wilderness unlike anywhere else on Earth. 

Nestled between the Moremi Game Reserve and Chobe National Park, Khwai is one of Botswana’s most diverse and rewarding safari regions. As a community-run conservancy, it offers a rich mix of wetlands, riverine forests, floodplains, and open woodlands, creating a landscape that supports an incredible array of wildlife.

 Visitors can expect to see elephants, leopards, lions, buffalo, giraffes, antelope, and the elusive African wild dogs. Birdlife is equally impressive, with species such as kingfishers, fish eagles, bee-eaters, and waders flocking to the water’s edge.

Activities in Khwai include game drives (both day and night), mokoro (dugout canoe) excursions, and guided walking safaris, offering a well-rounded, immersive experience in nature. Unique to this area is the opportunity for night drives and off-road exploration, thanks to its location outside the national park system.

Located within the Chobe National Park, Savuti is one of Botswana’s most dramatic and wildlife-intense safari destinations. Known for its rugged beauty, the landscape is a mix of open savannah, ancient dry riverbeds, rocky outcrops, and scattered baobab trees. The region is home to iconic African wildlife, including large prides of lions, elephants, leopards, and seasonal migrations of zebras.

Savuti’s vegetation shifts with the seasons—from dry, dusty plains to lush grasses that attract grazers and, in turn, predators. Birdlife is equally rich, with raptors, kori bustards, and seasonal migrants filling the skies.

Activities in Savuti typically include game drives (day and night), birdwatching, and exploring the Savuti Marsh—a magnet for wildlife during the rainy season. With its untamed landscapes and raw predator-prey drama, Savuti offers a truly authentic African safari experience..

Located in northern Botswana, Chobe National Park is one of Africa’s most iconic wildlife destinations. Known for its dense game populations and dramatic riverfront scenery, Chobe is especially famous for its massive herds of elephants—the largest concentration found anywhere in Africa.

The park’s landscapes range from the lush, riverine forests along the Chobe River, to expansive floodplains, woodlands, and dry hinterlands. This diversity of habitats supports a wide variety of species, including lions, leopards, buffalo, hippos, crocodiles, antelope, and over 450 bird species.

Activities in Chobe include 4x4 game drives, sunset river cruises, and photographic safaris, offering incredible opportunities to witness wildlife from both land and water. The Chobe River cruises are especially unique, allowing close-up views of elephants bathing, hippos wallowing, and crocodiles basking on the banks.

With its stunning natural beauty and prolific wildlife, Chobe delivers a classic safari experience that combines thrilling big game encounters with serene moments along the water—making it a must-visit for first-time and seasoned safari-goers alike.

The Kalahari Desert stretches across central and southwestern Botswana, offering a stark yet striking contrast to the country’s wetter regions. Far from empty, this semi-arid landscape is alive with subtle beauty—golden grasslands, rolling dunes, and pockets of acacia woodland that change dramatically with the seasons.

The desert is home to a surprising array of wildlife, including meerkats, oryx, springbok, bat-eared foxes, cheetahs, and black-maned Kalahari lions. During the rainy season, the landscape transforms, drawing herds of herbivores and flocks of birds to the now-lush pans and fossil river valleys.

Activities in the Kalahari include game drives, cultural walks with San Bushmen, and stargazing under crystal-clear skies. Guests often explore the Central Kalahari Game Reserve or the Makgadikgadi Pans, each offering raw, remote, and soul-stirring safari experiences.

The Botswana Desert invites a deeper kind of safari—one of reflection, space, and connection to some of the oldest landscapes and cultures on Earth.
