Botswana's BEST Crocodile Safari? Ramotswa River Adventures Await!

Botswana's BEST Crocodile Safari? Ramotswa River Adventures: Prepare to be Wowed (and Maybe a Little Scared)!

Okay, people, let's talk about the Ramotswa River and its notorious inhabitants. And more importantly, let's talk about Ramotswa River Adventures. Are they really the Botswana's BEST Crocodile Safari? Well, buckle up, because I just got back, and I have thoughts. And probably a few mosquito bites.

First off, Accessibility. This is a BIG one, especially for anyone with mobility issues. I'm happy to report that they've put in some serious effort. While it's Botswana, not some pristine European spa, they've definitely considered accessibility. Wheelchair accessibility is present in key areas – think common spaces and a few of the rooms. They do have an elevator. That's a huge win! However, be sure to call ahead and confirm specifics on the safari boats themselves – some areas might be tricky.

On-site Accessible Restaurants/Lounges: Yes! They've got a few spots, and that's a lifesaver.

Internet? Ah, the eternal struggle of the modern traveler. It's there, folks! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! (hallelujah!). Even Internet [LAN] if you’re THAT fancy. The Internet services are… well, they're functional. It's not lightning-fast, but hey, you're in the bush, not a Silicon Valley office. Wi-Fi in public areas is a definite bonus.

Things To Do, Ways to Relax: Now we're talking! This is where Ramotswa River Adventures really shines. Let's get into my personal, messy, totally relatable experience:

• The Spa: Okay, so the Spa/Sauna situation… it's not the Four Seasons. But the Spa itself is lovely - it's got a lovely ambiance. Picture this: I'm lying there, Body scrub applied, and realizing I’ve never felt so relaxed in my life. It’s like they're scrubbing years of city grime off me. They have a Body wrap, too, which I skipped because, honestly, I was craving a beer. They've got the basics: Massage, Sauna, Steamroom, and the whole shebang.
• Fitness Center: They even have a Fitness center! I glanced in once. It looked… active. I went straight to the bar instead. No judgment, okay?
• Swimming Pool: The Swimming Pool [outdoor]? Glorious! The Pool with a view? Even MORE glorious. It's infinity-edge, overlooking the river. I spent a solid afternoon there, sipping cocktails (more on those later) and just being. This is the life, folks. Pure, unadulterated bliss.
• Other Amenities: I didn't find the Foot bath, to my utter disappointment.

Cleanliness and Safety: This is crucial, especially in the current climate. They take safety seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products are used. Daily disinfection in common areas is in place. They've got a First aid kit and a Doctor/nurse on call (thank god). Hand sanitizer is everywhere. They're using Professional-grade sanitizing services and have a Hygiene certification. I found myself oddly comforted by the fact that they're clearly taking care. They even let you opt-out of Room sanitization if you want! They're also using Individually-wrapped food options, have a Safe dining setup, and are using Sanitized kitchen and tableware items. Staff trained in safety protocol is a huge PLUS.

Dining, Drinking and Snacking: Now, for the real fun part. The food. OMG, the food!

• Restaurants: The Restaurants are fantastic. They've got several options, from casual to more formal.
• Asian Breakfast: Asian cuisine in restaurant? Yes! I had a delicious…actually, I'm still dreaming about that Asian breakfast.
• International cuisine in restaurant: The International cuisine in restaurant is top tier. I tried a different dish every night!
• Poolside bar: Listen, after a hot day on the river catching a glimpse of a croc, you need a cocktail. The Poolside bar is PERFECT. Cold drinks, good music, and a stunning view.
• Bar: Also, there's a Bar near the hotel.
• Coffee shop: The Coffee shop is great for those quick breakfasts.
• Happy hour: Oh, they have Happy hour! It's a necessity. Trust me.
• Snack bar: The Snack bar is the perfect place to grab a bite after an exhausting day of safari.
• Breakfast: The Breakfast [buffet] is a feast. Buffet in restaurant, you know? A true classic!
• Room Service: Room service [24-hour] is a godsend. Who wants to get dressed after a long day? Get that Breakfast in room or Breakfast takeaway service as well. And don't forget the Bottle of water!

Services and Conveniences: They've thought of pretty much everything. Air conditioning in public areas is a lifesaver. They offer Contactless check-in/out. There's a Concierge to help with your needs. They have Daily housekeeping, an Elevator, and Food delivery. And, for all you folks out there, they do Laundry service and Ironing service!

For the Kids: Family/child friendly as well as they also have Babysitting service, and Kids meal.

Rooms: Let's talk about the rooms. They're comfortable, clean, and surprisingly well-equipped, considering the location. Air conditioning is a must. Free Wi-Fi, of course. Now, the soundproofing… could be better. But that's part of the charm, right?

Getting Around: They offer Airport transfer. Plus, there's a Car park [free of charge] and Taxi service.

About the Crocodiles… and the Safari: Now, the REAL reason you're here: the crocodiles. Ramotswa River Adventures delivers. The guides are knowledgeable, the boats are safe, and the crocodiles… well, they're magnificent (and, let's be honest, a little terrifying). Okay, a LOT terrifying up close! It's an experience that stays with you. The safari itself is breathtaking. The river is teeming with life, and you'll learn so much about the ecosystem. I saw a HUGE crocodile sunning itself on the riverbank, and I swear my heart stopped for a second!

The Imperfections: Okay, let's be real. It's not perfect. The internet can be spotty at times. Some of the decor is a little… dated. And the mosquito situation? BRING REPELLENT. Seriously.

Overall - The Verdict: Do I think Ramotswa River Adventures is the Botswana's BEST Crocodile Safari? Damn right, I do! Is it a perfect luxury escape? Not quite. But it's an experience. It's raw, it's real, it's adventurous, and it leaves you feeling invigorated. The people are wonderful, the food is delicious, and the crocodiles? Well, they're unforgettable.

My Personal Moment: I booked their safari solo. I was quite nervous! I ended up meeting the most amazing people and we laughed all day.

CROCODILE POOLS RIVER SAFARIS & CHALETS Ramotswa Botswana

Okay, buckle up, Buttercup. We're going on a chaotic safari in Botswana! My brain is already buzzing with the anticipation of maybe seeing a crocodile up close, but also with the dread of potential sunburn. This isn't going to be a perfectly polished itinerary, because frankly, life isn't polished. Here's what I've got – or, well, what I hope I’ve got, because I'm terrible at planning.

BOTSWANA BONANZA: CROCODILE POOLS RIVER SAFARIS & CHALETS (and maybe a total meltdown)

Day 1: Arrival and the "Oh God, I forgot my…!" Moment

• Morning (or, more realistically, late morning): Arrive at Sir Seretse Khama International Airport (GBE) in Gaborone. Honestly, I'm already picturing myself stumbling off the plane looking like a deranged yeti. Praying I haven’t forgotten anything crucial. You know it's coming. Probably sunscreen. DEFINITELY sunscreen. And probably the charger for my camera. Gasp Don't fail me, technology!
• Midday: Transfer to Crocodile Pools River Safaris & Chalets. The drive is supposed to be scenic. I’m hoping it’s scenic enough to distract me from the fact that I’m probably going to be crammed in a vehicle with sweaty strangers. Praying for good aircon. And a good music playlist. Please no polka.
• Afternoon: Check into the chalet. Deep breaths. Unpack. Fight the urge to strip down and immediately jump in the (hopefully) crystal-clear water. First impressions are crucial. Is the bed lumpy? Is there a decent power outlet? Does the bathroom have enough water pressure? These are the important questions, people.
• Late Afternoon/Early Evening: The Sunset Sizzle… Or The Mosquito Mosh Pit? A sunset boat cruise on the Notwane River is on the menu. Sunsets are beautiful, if you're into that sort of thing. The brochure promised an "opportunity to view birds and wildlife." I'm hoping the brochure wasn't lying. My bird-watching skills are minimal, but I’m prepared to shout “Look! A bird!” at any feathered creature that crosses my path. The mosquitoes, on the other hand, are a genuine concern. I hear they're vicious. Bring bug spray, dammit! Dinner at the lodge. Hoping for something not-too-spicy. My stomach is a delicate flower.

Day 2: Crocs! (Maybe.) and a Day of Questioning Everything.

• Morning: Crocodile Safari Time! Honestly, this is what I'm here for. The chance to stare into the reptilian eyes of a real, live crocodile. My internal dialogue goes something like this: "Don't be an idiot. Don't fall out of the boat. Don't scream. Don't poke it." Ambitious, I know. The plan includes a river safari to spot these magnificent creatures and other wildlife. I will be silently judging how "magnificent" they truly are when I get close enough. (But, like, from a safe distance.)
• Midday: Lunch overlooking the river. Probably try to soak up the atmosphere and take some photos, but honestly? I'll probably be too busy dissecting the sandwiches. Did I pack enough snacks? What if the sandwiches are ham? (I am a vegetarian.) What if the river is full of tiny, aggressive… water bugs?
• Afternoon: Free time. This is where things get dicey. Will I attempt to chill by the pool and read a book? (Likely not. I'll probably get distracted by a flying ant and start questioning the very nature of existence.) Or will I attempt a hike, possibly getting lost and becoming a snack for said crocs? Maybe I'll just sit on my porch and stare at the sky. (That's always a safe bet.)
  • Deep Dive into Overthinking: This free time will be where my brain really goes to town. Questions like: Am I really enjoying this? Am I making the most of this trip? (If I can't see a picture of myself with a croc, did this really happen?) What if I get a sunburn? What if I get a mosquito bite and a sunburn? What if my camera battery dies and I drop my phone in the river? These are real concerns, people.
• Evening: Dinner at the lodge again. Trying to be more sociable this time! Maybe I can actually strike up a conversation this time instead of being the weird quiet person. Or, fine, maybe I'd just retreat back to my chalet to eat my snacks and judge all the other guests' fashion choices. Either way, It depends on the mood.

Day 3: Farewell, Botswana (and, Hopefully, No Crocodile Encounters!)

• Morning: Farewell breakfast. Trying to savor the last bit of the scenery. I am suddenly going to regret not waking up earlier. Checking out of the chalet. Doing a final mental inventory. Did I leave anything behind? Did I accidentally adopt a stray crocodile? (That would be a problem.)
• Midday: Transfer back to the airport. Saying goodbye to the magical (and potentially mosquito-infested) world of Botswana. Reflecting on the experience. Did I see any amazing wildlife? Did I bond with fellow travelers? Did I manage to avoid looking like a total idiot? The answers, I suspect, will be a mixed bag!
• Afternoon: Fly back home. The journey home is where the real post-trip depression will kick in. Planning the next adventure! Maybe I'll be more organized next time. (Probably not.)

My Utterly Unrealistic Expectations:

• I Will Become Best Friends with a Giraffe: Let's be honest, this is unlikely. But a girl can dream, right?
• My Photography Skills Will Miraculously Improve: That camera is expensive. Surely some of its magic will rub off on me.
• I Will Return Home a Changed Person: Bold claims, I know. But a little bit of adventure and a lot of wide-open space will hopefully help me rediscover a tiny, tiny bit of myself.

Things That are Probably Going to Go Wrong:

• I Will Get Sunburned: I'm already picturing the lobster-red aftermath.
• I Will Forget Something Important: Hence my earlier anxiety. It's inevitable.
• I Will Underpack: It will result in buying a horrendous souvenir t-shirt with a picture of a baboon on it.
• I Will Say Something Stupid to a Local: It is guaranteed.

Final Thoughts:

This is it. The trip. The adventure. The potential disaster. Wish me luck! And if you see a crazed, sunburnt woman running away from something, just assume it's me. And maybe point her in the direction of the nearest air-conditioned refuge and a cold drink. Botswana, here I come! And I am already a nervous wreck.

CROCODILE POOLS RIVER SAFARIS & CHALETS Ramotswa BotswanaOkay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the muddy, glorious, slightly terrifying world of Botswana's BEST Crocodile Safari with Ramotswa River Adventures... and let me tell you, it's not always pretty. But it's REAL. Here's the lowdown, FAQ style, because apparently, people *like* organization even in the face of potential crocodile-related mayhem.

Alright, tell me the *truly* honest truth: Is this Crocodile Safari actually scary?

Scary? Oh honey, let me tell you. It’s not just a little “ooh, spooky.” It's the kind of scary that makes you grip the edges of your boat and whisper, "Please, let me not be eaten." The first time I went, I was practically vibrating with anxiety. You see these massive, prehistoric-looking creatures, SUNBATHING, right next to where you're bobbing along. One minute you're admiring the scenery, and the next, BAM! A massive crocodile with jaws that could *easily* swallow me whole. It’s the *potential* for the unexpected, the lurking, the… well, the chomping... that gets you. But, here's the kicker (and I'm not sure why this comforts me): it's a *thrilling* kind of scary. Like a rollercoaster, but with much higher stakes. Mostly. Hopefully. Don't tell my therapist I said that.

Are the crocodiles *really* that big? I mean, National Geographic exaggerates, right?

Look, I've watched National Geographic. The answer, my friend, is a resounding *NO*. They don't exaggerate. If anything, they *under*estimate. I swear, some of those crocodiles... Lord have mercy. I saw one – and I’m not exaggerating this time, I swear – that looked like a small car with teeth. Honestly, the size of them is terrifying, even though you *know* they’re used to boats. It’s the sheer *mass* of them that's unsettling. You feel small. Very, very small. And let's be honest, when you're on a boat, close to the water, you *feel* less safe. That’s just the way of it.

What's the best thing about the Ramotswa River Adventures Crocodile Safari?

Honestly? Besides the adrenaline rush that lasted for a week? The *peace*. It sounds weird, I know. Surrounded by potential predator mayhem and saying it's peaceful? But the river itself? Utterly beautiful. The birds, the reeds, the quiet… until a crocodile decides to breach the water like a living torpedo. Then it's not so peaceful. But, before that, the quiet is beautiful. The guides are brilliant, they clearly love the river, and they know these crocodiles. That knowledge gives you a base of trust. You're in good, experienced hands. And seeing these majestic (and terrifying) creatures in their natural habitat? Unforgettable. It makes you feel connected to something primal. Deep down in your core. It's raw. It's real. It's… well, it’s Botswana.

What happens if a crocodile, you know… gets *too* close?

Uh, okay. This is where I'm going to try to be *slightly* optimistic. The guides are incredibly experienced. They know the crocodiles’ behaviours. They know what to look for. And while it's a *wild* environment, they're also not completely clueless. They're observant, they know the dangers, and they do their best to keep you safe. I felt safe - honestly. It could be because I'm a fairly cautious person, but it could also be the guides. The general consensus is, they keep a good distance, keep the boats moving at safe speeds, and have a very healthy respect for the crocs. I remember one time, we got a bit close to a particularly large one - a magnificent (and terrifying) specimen. The guide just steered the boat a bit away and commented, casually, "He's a bit territorial today." "A bit?!" I thought, my heart jumping into my throat. But nothing happened. We went on. So, I'm going to say, they have protocols. But hey, nature is nature, people. There are no guarantees.

What's the food like? Because a hungry croc and a hungry me... it feels like it fits.

Okay, so, full disclosure: I didn't eat *while* the crocodiles were present. Not really. Mostly because my appetite was considerably diminished by fear. But, that being said, when you're back at base camp, the food is hearty and delicious. It's traditional Botswana fare. Think flavorful meats (probably not crocodile, although, who knows? ), fresh sides, really good coffee... You'll NEED it after a day of dodging prehistoric monsters. Seriously, your adrenaline will be RUNNING HIGH, and your stomach will rumbling.

I'm a bit of a nervous Nellie. Is this safari *really* for me?

Okay, let's be honest. If you're someone who’s easily spooked, or who has a cardiac condition, maybe, *maybe*, you might want to start with something gentle. But… consider this: facing your fears can be incredibly exhilarating. I was shaking like a leaf the first time, but honestly, I felt so alive! So, if you're looking for an adventure that will leave you with some amazing stories, a few grey hairs, and a profound respect for nature, DO IT. Just remember to breathe. And maybe bring an extra pair of pants, just in case...

Did you bring sunscreen?

YES! Absolutely. The Botswanan sun is BRUTAL. No matter how busy I was trying to avoid being eaten, I knew to bring sunscreen. Like a religious ritual, I would apply sunscreen, hoping that if a crocodile saw my shiny face, it wouldn't be interested. Honestly, you'll sweat it off, but you need the layer of protection. Sunscreen, water, and snacks were key to making sure that I survived the day.

Are there other animals besides crocodiles?

Oh yes! While the crocodiles are, shall we say, the MAIN EVENT, the Ramotswa River is teeming with life. You'll see incredible birdlife – herons, kingfishers, fish eagles soaring overhead, it's incredible. Hippos are also plentiful (and also potential danger- they are VERY territorial). The wildlife is diverse. You even might spot other animals coming down to drink. It's a complete experience, a whole ecosystem unfolding before your eyes. Just try to focus on something other than the crocodile's teeth, okay? Trust me, I know it's hard!

Okay, so the MOST memorable moment? Come on!
