Visited with Sango safari camp in late December, and had some fantastic sightings including large groups of elephants, lions (including some that had climbed a tree which was pretty crazy), wild dogs, and an absolutely beautiful group of denning hyenas with their pups (easily 15+ of them). The denning hyenas have dug a spot right in the middle of the road so you're able to get really close to them (some of the pups were even gnawing on a tire of one of the trucks) and we've heard they're there pretty much every year (unless something gets really off with the weather one year) so they are really amazing to check out. The park is really green this time of year so would recommend a guide to support your spotting and also so they can coordinate with the guides from the other camps. The cars are able to go off-road here which helps as well in the rainy season so that you can get closer to the sightings when you do find them.

Kubu Island’s granite rock surface is stained white with fossilized bird droppings and riddled with other prehistoric artifacts and stone ruins. The entire island is a national monument.

Fantastic place in the true sense of the world. Serene and peaceful and a great escape from the real world. It is hard to explain how a group of rocks and Baobabs surrounded by nothing can be so magical, but it is. The excellent community project based at Mmatshumo will get you there if you lack a 4x4 at very reasonable rates. The facilities are basic but match the place itself. Just be aware that you need to be self-sustaining in terms of food and water, although firewood is available.

Beautiful place Moremi Gorge, like an oasis in the desert. From the restaurant you have a breathtaking view. The climb up on the hills is an nice hike with wonderful fresh water streams and the waterfalls on the rockterraces on the way up were magnificant. It is quite a climb but worthwile for the experience and scenery you get back for it. Only the groups were quite big. On top you see the vultures flying over.
8. CARACAL Biodiversity Center

The CARACAL World of Wildlife offers an unique opportunity to get up close and personal with some of Botswana's lesser-known, less often encountered, and often poorly understood wildlife. Conservation education is at the heart of everything we do. Our collection is made up of a range of creatures that have been injured or orphaned, and although we do rehabilitate and release these animals, this is not always possible due to the severity of their injuries. We take this bad situation and try to get something positive out of it by providing a high quality of life and inducting these animals into our ambassador program. In this way, these animals become ambassadors for their respective species, offering not just the chance to encounter one of them, but also to learn all about their stories and the roles they fulfill in Botswana's vibrant ecosystems. Our collection includes Botswana's largest collection of endemic snakes, small mammals, raptors, owls, and a few endangered species too. Each year we host thousands of school children from across the country, thousands of foreign tourists, wildlife officers, policy-makers, officials, locals and others. Our offering is unique, informative, family friendly, affordable, and not to be missed.

The sanctuary does very nice work, rehabilitating injured or orphaned animals/birds/reptiles. I visited the sanctuary by myself and there are two types of visit: the standard or “enhanced” visit ($5 or $7), I opted for the enhanced tour and I really enjoyed it. My personal guide took the time to show me all the animals, explain about the animals’ habitat and history. You can interact with animals like the honey badger and tree squirrel etc. They also do a lot of educational work with the local community and I highly recommend visiting if you like animals and you’re in the area.

Baines Baobab is an extraordinary place with large Baobab trees sitting on the edge of an extensive salt pan. Camp sites are situated around the pan but are miles apart. Each site is clean, and has a long drop toilet and bucket shower, but take your own water. We camped here for one night after staying on Ntwetwe pan and it was a great experience. We were only slightly phased by finding lion spore on the ground in front of the truck after we had set up camp. We expected to have a disturbed night but actually had a good night’s sleep in perfect peace. The drive into Baines is currently (September 2019) rather challenging, the long road in has deep sand and once heading towards the pan we had an extended wait while some trucks ahead of us helped release another which was axle deep. It was necessary to drive for extended periods in low ratio so go with a full tank. We had wanted to go to the waterhole to the north of the park, and in fact drove part of the way there. However we had to turn back as the sand was far too deep and soft to venture any further. We were in serious danger of being bogged down. As we were a lone vehicle, with little other traffic, we decided that the risk of an extended stop in 38 degrees was too much. The camp area was great, remote from other sites, well swept and with a long drop toilet and shower. Of course, there is no water, but we carried our own. We enjoyed our stay at Baines, would we go back. Indeed yes, but probably at a different time of year.
