- Why is Botswana more expensive? Botswana deliberately pursues a low-volume, high-value tourism model. Camps are small (8-12 tents), reached only by light aircraft, in vast private concessions. The result is a more exclusive, uncrowded experience. The cost includes everything — all meals, premium drinks, laundry and activities.
- Why Botswana Is a High-End Safari Favorite Botswana is often the answer for travelers who want fewer vehicles, deeper wilderness, strong guiding and a more exclusive-feeling safari than busy circuit destinations. Botswana is wild, watery, and beautifully exclusive. Its private concessions are some of Africa’s finest safari spaces.
