Botswana is a country committed to conservation and sustainable eco-tourism. Almost 40% of the country is protected in national parks, game reserves, and wildlife management areas. Anti-poaching efforts are among the best in Africa, ensuring the fantastic natural heritage will be protected for generations to come.
None of the vast wildlife areas in Botswana captures the imagination quite like the Okavango Delta. This oasis is created where the waters of the Okavango River empty over the sands of the Kalahari, a land of islands with ancient trees, crystal clear channels, and a myriad of wildlife wandering unhindered. Most of this ecologically sensitive area is protected in the Moremi Wildlife Reserve. Small, intimate camps built from natural materials, focusing on minimizing environmental impact, accommodate guests in this unique safari area.
In the northeastern reaches of the country, Chobe National Park is renowned for having Africa's highest concentration of elephants and some of the most impressive herds of buffalo on the continent. The most popular safari areas in the park include the northern Chobe Riverfront and the remote Savute area. In the author's opinion, a sunset water-based safari on the Chobe River is one of today's most amazing safari adventures - the sun setting over the wilderness while bird song fills the air and a diversity of species approaching the riverbank for a drink of water.
South of Chobe and the Okavango Delta, you will encounter vast salt pans, where areas transform into lush grassland after seasonal rains, attracting migratory animals and flocks of flamingos. Makgadikgadi and Nxai pan should be considered by avid birders and those who wish to get away from it all on a spiritual experience. Further south still lies one of the largest protected areas on earth, the Central Kalahari, which is an expanse of rolling dunes, golden grassland, and ancient riverbeds and is home to hardy desert-adapted species, the most impressive of which is the black-maned Kalahari Lion.
Wherever you choose to roam on a safari in Botswana, the experience will be intimate, with very few travelers to share it with. You will encounter diverse wildlife in grand natural settings and experience nature in all its glory.
