Botswana
is the safari destination in Africa most favored by
travel connoisseurs - many of whom return time and again
to the magnificent wildlife havens for which Botswana
is synonymous.
In Botswana, the wildlife enthusiast can indulge in
the real, wild Africa, where extensive territories conserved
for nature thrive in pristine habitats. Great herds
of game ramble between the Kalahari's red sands and
the grand channels of the Okavango,
Chobe and Linyanti rivers.
The gorgeous countryside and abundant large animals
make Botswana, Africa's foremost safari destination.
With almost 45% of the country's land set aside for
wildlife preservation, animals are able to move and
migrate beyond the limits of the national parks, since
a network of very large private concession areas have
been established and are managed as if they were reserves.
Tremendous
safari
lodges & camps have been constructed
in all the national parks and wilderness
areas. Typically these facilities offer
excellent accommodation and intimate service:
the largest accommodating 24 guests, the
smallest just six. Camps range from comfortable
to luxury.
The
Okavango Delta is the greatest destination
for habitat and diversity of wildlife.
However the mix of ecosystems that make
the Delta so interesting are found all
over northern Botswana - so don't limit
your trip to just the Okavango. In order
to get the best overall experience it
is preferable to visit different habitats
within this enchanting country. |

There
are many unique areas to explore on a Botswana safari
- with the Okavango Delta being foremost in most people's
minds when planning a vacation. Most lodges and camps
are situated on or near the waterways, so wildlife viewing
in a makoro canoe is generally part of an Okavango safari
experience. Moremi reserve forms part of the greater Okavango
complex and is the premier spot for large concentrations
of wildlife and predators. Chobe in the north - home of
vast elephant herds - makes the ideal companion destination
to the Okavango, while unique destinations such as the
Central Kalahari and Makgadikgadi Pans are ideal for travelers
seeking something different and remote, without having
to compromise on luxury and facilities. |
