Botswana is well known for having some of the best wilderness and
wildlife areas on the African continent. With a full 38 per cent of its
total land area devoted national parks, reserves and wildlife management
areas – for the most part unfenced, allowing animals to roam wild and
free – travel through many parts of the country has the feeling of
moving through an immense Nature wonderland.
In Botswana you can experience the stunning beauty of the world’s
largest intact inland Delta – the Okavango; the world’s second largest
game reserve – the Central Kalahari Game Reserve; the isolation and
other-worldliness of the Makgadikgadi – uninhabited pans the size of
Portugal; and the astoundingly prolific wildlife of the Chobe National
Park.
Botswana is the last stronghold for a number of endangered bird and
mammal species, including Wild Dog, Cheetch, Brown Hyena, Cape Vulture,
Wattled Crane, Kori Bustard and Pel’s Fishing Owl. The first – and most
lasting impressions – will be of vast expanses of uninhabited wilderness
stretching from horizon to horizon, the sensation of limitless space,
astoundingly rich wildlife and bird viewing, night skies littered with
stars and stunning sunsets of unearthly beauty. Combine this with more
and more cultural tourism options on offer – experiencing first hand the
rich cultural heritage of the people of Botswana – this is a country
that has no parallel.
But at first glance the options for a safari in Botswana can sometimes
appear bewildering. Therefore this guide packages information in an easy
and abridged format which travel agents and tour operators will find
makes for easy reading and reference. The photographs included give only
a small sample of the sights that can be seen and help to make the
dream a reality.
