Botswana has some of Africa’s most interesting safari destinations, and is home to abundant wildlife, with large concentrations of big game and hundreds of species of birdlife. The country is also visited less than some other African safari destinations, making for uncrowded national parks and unhurried game viewing. The country’s interior stretches to the Kalahari Desert, which harbours uniquely adapted desert life, while the Okavango Delta in the north west is a complete contrast, a fascinating riverine landscape where you can stay by idyllic waterways on tiny islets and explore by dugout canoe. Chobe National Park is tucked away in the far north east, and covers 12,000 square kilometres of pristine wilderness.
Botswana’s interior is dominated by the infamous Kalahari Desert, a seemingly threatening environment that in fact harbours a surprising range of nature, and home to the proud Kalahari bushmen. The Okavango Delta, meanwhile, in the county’s north west, is a unique wetland landscape, providing an incredible maze of winding, papyrus-fringed waterways and idyllic islands, dotted with ancient trees. You’ll find nothing else like it in Africa, or, indeed, the world. Africa Sky offer several exclusive riverside and island lodges from which you can view the region’s wildlife or simply drift along the river on a traditional makoro dugout canoe.
