Botswana

We’re unpacking Lonely Planet’s top ultimate travel experiences, so when it’s safe to hit the road again we can help you have these experiences yourself. 

Whether you’ve always wanted to slurp schnapps at a Swedish celebration, track endangered mountain gorillas in Rwanda or hike to the summit of Mount Batur in Bali. Here’s your guide for where to travel in June.

Heading on a safari had always been a dream of mine. I wanted to get up close and personal with some big animals, feel the rhythms of Africa, and switch off from modern life for a while.

If you’re not afraid to dig a bush toilet and skip a few showers, a family holiday in Botswana might be just the adventure you’re looking for.

You’ll be glad you packed these essentials on your next overland adventure.

Fancy taking a walk on the wild side? An African safari offers up the ideal opportunity to get closer to those animals which fascinate us most.
