There are some places that you simply must experience at least once in your lifetime, Botswana in southern Africa is undoubtedly one of them.
The massive Kalahari Desert stretches more than 70-percent of the landlocked country, offering some of the most diverse landscapes in the world including the Makgadikgadi salt pans, which is one of the largest salt flats in the world, to Victoria Falls, on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Intrepid adventurers come from all over the globe for one reason – wildlife safaris! Pile into an open-sided 4x4 for a game drive and encounter some of the world’s most incredible animals in their natural habitat. Botswana offers plenty of game reserves including Chobe National Park, which is known for its vast elephant population, and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Okavango Delta. Botswana safaris are widely regarded as some of the best in the world, with plenty of options to suit – whether you’re a luxury safari kind of person or you’d prefer the camping type, there’s a safari tour to suit.
