Destination Botswana
Botswana, as a Safari destination, is famed for its diverse Reserves, which also encompass National Parks, Game Reserves and Private Concessions. Although Botswana is very much dominated by the extensive and varied Kalahari Desert, it is a surprisingly diverse country.
Botswana Reserves take up some 17% of the landmass, and this figure is set to grow with the change in status of many of the hunting concessions. Botswana is a premier destination for traveller’s looking for a true African Safari experience – enjoy a pristine environment, and great wildlife. As many of the Camps and Lodges in Botswana are set in private concessions on the edges of the Reserves and Parks, there are fewer visitors, and far less crowding, allowing the wildlife to be more relaxed.
Comparative in size to France or Texas, Botswana stretches from the Chobe River in the North, to the Limpopo River in the East, with the Kalahari forming the Western and Southern borders. Within this unique land is the pristine Okavango – the world’s largest inland Delta, which is also home to the beautiful Moremi Game Reserve.
As Botswana Reserves also include the vast Central Kalahari Game Reserve, and Chobe National Park – home to the Savute channel and Linyanti, visits here are also worthwhile. The Chobe National Park is also home to the greatest concentration of elephant on Africa’s extensive continent. After a visit to one of more of the Botswana Reserves, you might want to add to your Southern African experience. Botswana’s position also makes it easy to visit Victoria Falls, and Hwange National Park.
Botswana also makes for a excellent entrepot to Zambia, and Namibia. Access for your Botswana Safari is often via South Africa, then on to the Safari centre of Maun, adjacent to the Okavango. From here you can experience some exceptional Safari experiences, with the opportunity to see some of Africa’s most iconic wildlife.
