- [The Seasonal Migration Guide To Botswana’s Native Animals](https://bushways.com/the-seasonal-migration-guide-to-botswanas-native-animals/): The Seasonal Migration Guide to Botswana’s Native Animals One of the most common misunderstandings about Botswana is that its wildlife follows a single, predictable migration pattern. Whilst Botswana doesn’t have a single dramatic ‘Great Migration’ like East Africa, it offers an authentic migration experience through continuous movements across the vast protected ecosystems. Simply put, animals move because the land changes, and well… the land changes every year! Botswana’s native animals respond and migrate to the authentic rhythms of rain, flood, grass growth, and survival. Understanding these seasonal movements fundamentally shapes how you can experience a safari. What you see, how […]
- [US Traveller’s Guide to Booking a Botswana Safari: Flights, Routes and Time Zones Explained](https://bushways.com/us-travellers-guide-to-booking-a-botswana-safari-flights-routes-and-time-zones-explained/): US Traveller’s Guide to Booking a Botswana Safari If you’ve never booked a visit to Botswana before from the United States, the number of things to consider can be quite daunting on initial glance. The country’s remoteness, lack of direct flights, time difference alone, variety of locations, where and how you want to experience the bush; these are just a few things to think about, and it can be tough knowing exactly where to start when booking a Botswana safari. This practical guide is designed to simplify everything and walk through the key information you should consider when booking a […]
- [The Top 10 Animals to See on a Botswana Safari](https://bushways.com/the-top-10-animals-to-see-on-a-botswana-safari/): The Top 10 Animals to See on a Botswana Safari For those of you yet to visit, Botswana is widely regarded as one of Africa’s finest safari destinations that is renowned for its incredible wildlife diversity, dramatic landscapes, and world-class conversation efforts. Botswana supports some of the largest and most intact wildlife populations in Africa, largely because of its commitment to conservation-led tourism and the protection of vast, unfenced ecosystems. Species such as elephant, buffalo, zebra, and giraffe live here in numbers that allow natural migration, breeding, and predator–prey dynamics to continue largely uninterrupted With this in mind you might […]
- [When and Where to see the Makgadikgadi Zebra Migration](https://bushways.com/when-and-where-to-see-the-makgadikgadi-zebra-migration/): When and Where to See the Makgadikgadi Zebra Migration Each year, thousands of zebras move across northern Botswana in what is now recognised as Africa’s longest terrestrial wildlife migration. This is known as the Makgadikgadi Zebra Migration. For travellers hoping to experience this migration, timing is everything. Botswana isn’t a destination where the landscape remains the same throughout the year. The seasons completely reshape the environment, from dry, shimmering salt pans to lush grasslands after the rains, wildlife behaviour changes along with it. Understanding when and where this movement takes place is key to experiencing the Makgadikgadi zebra migration in […]

Firstly, congratulations! it’s an exciting experience that you will not forget. Secondly, it’s important to consider exactly when you want to go. This is because unlike a traditional landscape, Botswana is special. The time of year you visit literally shapes how the days unfold in the bush; from how the landscape looks to how the wildlife acts and responds to the surroundings. This in turn dictates your safari experience. To break things down, Botswana’s year is generally shaped by two very different seasons: The dry season is often spoken about as a […]

Entry is generally uncomplicated, particularly for tourist visitors. Unlike many long-haul destinations, Botswana doesn’t require you to complete a lengthy visa application in advance, and entry procedures are clear and well established. With that said, Botswana visa rules, passport, entry requirements, health considerations, travel advice, and what to expect on arrival can become confusing if you haven’t visited before. This simplified guide aims to put any concerns to rest and outline everything those travelling from the US to Botswana need to know to prepare in plenty of time […]

- [Central Kalahari Game Reserve](https://bushways.com/central-kalahari-game-reserve/): Every year for the last 6 years a group of friends, Carol and I have gone camping in Central Kalahari Game Reserve just after Xmas.
- [Liuwa Plains, Zambia](https://bushways.com/liuwa-plains-zambia/): Recently Marc and Heiko, our directors, visited Liuwa Plains National Park in Western Zambia to witness the annual wildebeest migration.

- [About Elephant](https://bushways.com/about-elephant/): Many years ago elephants did not have trunks. The baby elephant was known as a curious creature, his questions used to get him into a lot of trouble. He asked many animals what the crocodile eats for dinner. When no one could tell him he decided to search for a crocodile and find out for himself.
