African Buffalo in Botswana

Where are african buffalos in Botswana? The strongest odds are at Okavango Delta, where access and habitat beat a chance roadside glimpse.

Okavango Delta in Northern Botswana is the place to begin. A river that never reaches the sea. Mokoro trips through papyrus channels with elephants, hippos, and painted dogs. Give yourself quiet time at dawn or dusk and keep your distance.

Botswana context: Meerkats on sentinel duty, elephants in the Okavango, and some of Africa's wildest dry-country wildlife.

In Botswana, look especially around savanna, floodplain, and open woodland. Those settings usually put you closest to where this species is active.
