7 DÍAS EN BOTSUANA: VIAJE POR LAS CARRETERAS DEL NORTE

Welcome to Botswana! Kasane International Airport (BBK) is the northern gateway to Botswana’s wilderness and the world-famous Chobe National Park. Just minutes from Kasane town and close to the borders of Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe, you’ve arrived in the heart of the legendary Four Corners of Africa. As you descend, keep an eye out for sweeping views of the Chobe River, open floodplains and vast savannah - you often see wildlife even before you touch down. Your private driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall to pick you up and ease you into Botswana’s warm hospitality. This is the start of your safari adventure!

The Chobe Riverfront stretches along the northern boundary of Chobe National Park, where the Chobe River separates Botswana from Namibia. The whole park is home to over 120,000 elephants - the largest remaining population in the world. Still, during the dry season, the herds gather along the riverfront in extraordinary numbers, alongside buffalo and plains game. Game drives along the riverfront put you in the middle of this, while a boat cruise on the Chobe River brings you eye to eye with hippos, crocodiles and elephants swimming, drinking or just bathing in the sun at the water's edge.

The drive from the Chobe Riverfront to the Savuti covers 80 kilometres and takes two hours, but it’s far more than just a transfer. This is a true bush journey, winding through Chobe’s dense forests toward the Goha Hills Gate, before continuing across deep sandy stretches (particularly in the dry season) and corrugated tracks. The route doubles as an extended game drive, with frequent sightings of elephants, giraffes, and various antelope along the way. As Savuti draws closer, anticipation builds: this predator-rich region is famous for its lions, and you may even spot one before you head out on your first game drive through the iconic marshlands.

Savuti is one of Africa's most extraordinary and ever-changing wilderness areas, a vast, ancient landscape in the remote western reaches of Chobe National Park that has captivated explorers and wildlife enthusiasts for generations. Fed by the legendary Savuti Channel, its waters have come and gone over centuries, shaping a dramatic mosaic of dry riverbeds, open grasslands, and seasonal wetlands that draw some of the continent's most spectacular concentrations of wildlife on any game drive. A Savuti Marsh Excursion offers a rare and privileged window into this untamed world!

The drive from the Savuti to the Khwai Community Concession takes 4 hours and covers just over 100 kilometres - a gentle reminder that in the bush, distance and time rarely agree. This is not a smooth cruise: expect a slow, bumpy ride over deep sand and uneven tracks, particularly in the dry season, while summer may add a few splashy water crossings for good measure. The reward comes as the landscape shifts from Savuti’s dry plains to the lush riverine scenery of the Khwai River, with excellent chances of spotting elephants, lions, and leopards along the way. Leave Savuti after breakfast, and you should still arrive in time to enjoy your first afternoon game drive in Khwai.

Entre el Parque Nacional Chobe y la Reserva de Moremi se encuentra Khwai, una concesión de conservación sin vallas que combina naturaleza y gestión local. Aquí, elefantes, depredadores y manadas de búfalos se mueven libremente entre lagunas resplandecientes. Si a eso le sumas un safari y una visita cultural para conocer a los habitantes de la aldea de Khwai, el resultado es una experiencia apasionante y enriquecedora.

The drive from the Khwai Concession to Kasane is a 240-kilometre adventure, taking at least 6 hours on sometimes bone-shaking roads (kid you not!). It's a true overland safari, one that rewards patience and some discomfort with unforgettable scenery and a good chance of spotting lions or elephants. Travelling north, the route winds through mopane woodlands before it crosses the wildlife-rich Chobe National Park to reach the Chobe Riverfront near Kasane. Expect deep sand, corrugated tracks and (in the green season) occasional muddy or waterlogged sections. It's a drive that can be exhausting (but worth it!), and it might be wise to add an overnight stop in Kasane before flying home.
