BOTSWANA
Wildlife, wetlands and remote safari landscapes of northern Botswana
Botswana – Wildlife, Wetlands and Remote Safari Landscapes
Botswana is defined by vast open spaces, seasonal water systems and some of the most important wildlife habitats in southern Africa.
Across northern Botswana, rivers and floodplains shape an extraordinary concentration of wildlife ecosystems. From the elephant-rich floodplains of Chobe National Park to the channels and islands of the Okavango Delta and the wetlands of Moremi Game Reserve, the country offers a unique mix of dry savannah and water-driven landscapes.
Wildlife movements here are closely connected to shifting rivers, flood cycles and grasslands. Remote regions such as Savuti and Khwai are shaped by this dynamic relationship between water, animals and land, creating some of Africa’s most rewarding safari environments.
Exploring Botswana Through Wildlife Photography
This site explores Botswana through photographic journeys across its wildlife reserves and remote safari regions.
The galleries and stories below focus on key landscapes within northern Botswana, where wildlife concentrates around rivers, floodplains and seasonal wetlands. These environments support some of Africa’s highest densities of elephants, predators and migratory wildlife.
Together these galleries offer a visual overview of Botswana’s northern ecosystems — from the riverfront plains of Chobe to the wetland channels of the Okavango Delta and the open savannahs of Savuti and Khwai.
Northern Botswana Destinations and Ecosystems
Northern Botswana contains one of Africa’s most remarkable wildlife regions, where rivers, wetlands and savannah landscapes support large concentrations of animals throughout the year.
Chobe National Park is famous for its large elephant populations and the Chobe River floodplain, where wildlife gathers along the water’s edge during the dry season.
Savuti lies in the southwestern part of Chobe National Park and is known for its open savannah, predator activity and the shifting Savuti Channel, which periodically floods and dries out, shaping wildlife movements across the region.
Moremi protects one of the richest sections of the Okavango Delta ecosystem. Here permanent wetlands meet dry woodland and open plains, supporting an exceptional diversity of wildlife.
Located on the northeastern edge of the Okavango Delta, Khwai combines riverine habitats, floodplains and open grasslands. The region is particularly known for predators, elephants and seasonal wildlife movements.
