Tours by Locals in Botswana in 2026: The Best Sightseeing

Botswana's sightseeing is modest in scale in the cities and remarkable in the landscape. The national museum and art gallery covers Tswana, San, and Kalanga material cultures alongside natural history and contemporary art. The Mokolodi Nature Reserve provides a half-day wildlife and landscape introduction within reach of the capital. The real Botswana sightseeing is geographic: the Okavango Delta, the Chobe elephant concentrations, the Tsodilo Hills UNESCO rock art site, and the Makgadikgadi salt pan landscape form a sightseeing arc across one of Africa's least-crowded wildlife landscapes. The San Bushmen cultural encounters extend the sightseeing into living heritage. Tours by locals add the missing layer. Take it all in.
