Botswana

Must See Attractions

Botswana is dominated by the Kalahari Desert, which covers 70 percent of its surface, and offers very different landscapes from those of the Okavango Delta, which is wet and green throughout the year, and the Makgadikgadi Pan - one of the biggest salt pans in the world.

Kalahari Desert

The Kalahari reserve is characterised by vast open plains, saltpans and ancient riverbeds. It is also Africa’s first ‘Peace Park’, which is home to the Black-maned Kalahari Lion and the San (bushmen) – residents for about 1000 years.

Okavango Delta

At over 17,000 sq. km, the north of Botswana is home to its most attractive natural asset, the Okavango Delta. It never ceases to amaze visitors, as it is the only river delta that doesn't connect with the sea. Lion, antelope, hippo, elephant and over 400 types of bird are attracted to the lush forests and papyrus beds that are nestled amongst the lagoons, lakes and dry land.

Chobe National Park

If it’s sunset safari skyline you see in your dreams of Africa, the Chobe National Park is where you can find herds of migrating antelope, elephant and zebra, which draw attention from the big cats – cheetah, leopard and of course the mighty lion.

Makgadikgadi Pans

The largest saltpans in the world are about the size of Portugal. During the rainy season they attract thousands of flamingos to the shallow lakes and are rife with birds and other wildlife such as springbok, zebra and wildebeest.
