Desert & Delta Safaris – All I Want for Christmas is… peace and quiet in Botswana
Some see the festive season as a chance to check in with themselves, get a well-deserved break from work, and recharge ahead of the New Year. Where better to spend a solo Christmas than at Desert & Delta Safaris with no single supplement and sensational surroundings for self-reflection? December is the prime time to travel to Botswana as it is in the heart of the Green Season. 'Tis the season to see the landscape shine in a brilliant green, migrant birds have arrived making for sensational bird watching, and impala frolic! Solo travellers are invited to enjoy a safari adventure in one of the world's most magnificent environments and join the Desert & Delta Safaris community. Not only will guests learn fascinating facts from the expert guide team, but they will also be able to connect with other guests, swap stories, and share one-of-a-kind wildlife encounters.
Two prime lodges to visit in the Green Season are Savute Safari Lodge and Xugana Island Lodge (both newly renovated). Savute Safari Lodge, located in the Savute region of the Chobe National Park, is renowned for its year-round game viewing. The Green Season sees herds of zebra migrate as well as huge groups of mammals roaming and Carmine bee-eaters migrating through to find insects. Xugana Island Lodge is located in the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Okavango Delta, and is ideal for its year-round water-based activities. Guided bush walks, game drives, and boat safaris using traditional mokoro canoes offer a wonderful perspective to showcase the wildlife, including game and colourful birds.
