Botswana
Encounter the Okavango Delta and a range of natural delights.
Perhaps the most unique ecosystem in Africa, lined by lush vegetation and a wide range of the world’s most endangered animals, the Okavango Delta is a sight to behold. This, the world’s largest inland delta along with other amazing experiences await you in Botswana. Spanning some 224,610 square miles, this relatively flat country situated in Southern Africa is known for its wildlife and wilderness. Given this, it is no surprise that Botswana hosts some of the most revered safaris throughout Africa. Safaris can range from a simple camping trip to a full five star experience where nature becomes your home and its sights and sounds, your guide. Whilst there also, a trip to the Chobe National Park located in the north eastern district would reveal the world’s largest concentration of African elephants. Flanked by the Okavango Delta and the Chobe Reserves this park is a must see for every traveller.
In addition to the exhilarating feel of a true nature safari, Botswana offers you a bird’s eye view of its beautiful, expansive lands. Take to the skies aboard one of many tour flights available and witness breath-taking views of this natural phenomenon. Observe how the water channels its way through the Delta, changing paths as it goes along, and see the smoke that thunders from the magnificent Victoria Falls. Look at the right time and you can also witness hippos in the waterways and catch a glimpse of buffalo as they shade under the trees.
Rich not only in nature but in history, Botswana is ideal for the traveller who wishes to go back in time. Located in north-west Botswana near to the Namibian border, the Tsodilo Hills are a small area of massive quartzite rock formations that rise from ancient sand dunes. These historic hills, called the “Louvre of the Desert,” are home to over 4,500 rock paintings dating back some 100,000 years. This UNESCO heritage site is also respected as a place of worship, frequented by ancestral spirits for local surrounding communities. Whether to catch a glimpse of nature’s splendour or simply fix your eyes on the inscriptions of time, be sure to add Botswana to your travel list.
