Tour Botswana
Botswana
Botswana is internationally regarded as having the best wilderness and wildlife on the African continent. Thirty eight percent of its total land area is devoted to national parks, reserves and wildlife management – for the most part unfenced and thus allowing animals to roam wild and free. Travelling through many parts of the country gives the feeling of moving through an immense nature wonderland. In an overpopulated and over developed world Botswana is a rarity. It is largely ‘untamed’ and is thus one of the last great refuges for nature’s magnificent pageantry of life.
You will experience the stunning beauty of the world’s largest intact inland Delta – the Okavango and the unimaginable vastness of the world’s second largest game reserve – the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. Add to this the isolation and other-worldliness of the Makgadikgadi and uninhabited pans the size of Portugal to the astoundingly prolific wildlife of the Chobe National Park and you will have an experience that is truly unique.
What makes Botswana particularly unique?
It is the last stronghold for a number of endangered bird and mammal species, including wild dog, cheetah, brown hyena, Cape vulture, wattled crane, kori bustard, and Pel’s fishing owl. This makes your Botswana safari experience even more memorable and, at times, you will feel the exhilaration of simply being surrounded by wild animals.
Possibly the most lasting impressions that will forever be with you 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 heavenly bodies of an unimaginable brilliance, and stunning sunsets.
Add to this the charm of the people of Botswana and friendliness when visiting their villages and experiencing first-hand their rich cultural heritage. Possibly Botswana’s greatest gift is its ability to put us in touch with our natural selves. It offers the developed world a connection again with Nature’s astonishing diversity of plants and animals in its most natural form.
