Explorer Safari CEO Peter-John Mitrovitch recently visited brand-new Xigera Safari Lodge in Botswana. Here’s his story.

Experience the thrill of a Botswana safari where everything is bigger and better. Discover super-sized elephants, vast landscapes, and unforgettable experiences that are truly beyond measure. With the renowned Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park as her pinnacle wildlife destinations, Botswana emerges as one of the ultimate safari destinations in Africa.

Are you an adventurous traveler who seeks to immerse yourself in unique landscapes, meet new people, experience new cultures, and learn about the world around you? If so, then a safari vacation to Southern Africa — specifically to South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia — should be on your 2024 bucket list.

Botswana offers one of Africa’s finest and most exquisite safari destinations to escape to and explore: the Okavango Delta. In an untouched ecosystem, the Delta is one of nature’s supreme masterpieces. This UNSECO World Heritage Site gives you ample opportunities to view the Big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino) in a virtually untouched ecosystem.

Africa is the perfect place for a dreamy honeymoon or romantic getaway. It’s also ideal for a naturally socially distanced holiday, where all you need to focus on is sharing your days with your loved one and nights under the African night sky.

Going on safari in Africa is an adventure. It’s an exciting way to experience the sights, sounds and fascinating wildlife of Africa.
