Botswana Safaris - With an area of 581,730 square kilometres, Botswana is virtually the
same size as France, Kenya or Texas and is situated in the centre of Southern
Africa bordered by South Africa, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The most striking
features of the country are its flatness and aridity. Three quarters of the
country is technically a desert and this is what makes the Okavango Delta even
more remarkable. It is a wonderful wetland within a desert, getting its waters
from rain falling in central Africa, 1000km away. In the 1970s people living
outside of the country had not even heard of the Okavango Delta. In those early
days East Africa was "king", and then the Okavango Delta was discovered and was
only visited by a few hardy adventurers. But things were to change. East Africa
lost its gloss in the eyes of the discerning traveller as it overcrowded its
parks, South Africa became a "normal" country with the release of Nelson Mandela
and the whole Southern African sub-continent became a desirable region to
explore. Today wildlife and tourism employs about 45% of all the people who live
in northern part of the country. Well over 30% of the land has been set aside
for wildlife and the focus of Botswana Safaris is on delivering the finest possible, authentic
wildlife experience in Africa.
Botswana Safaris consist of 4 wildlife and wilderness highlight
experiences. A stay in a water camp to explore the wetlands of the famed
Okavango Delta by motorised craft or mokoro (dug out canoe). A stay in a dual or
land camp to view a great variety of game and birdlife from an open safari
vehicle. A venture into the Chobe area including Savute, a harsh land where the
battle for survival is desperate and prides of African lion are dominant. On mobile Botswana Safaris tracking migratory herds of game through the endless vistas of the
wild Kalahari. In addition, some of our special interest safaris will take you
