Botswana
If there is a place where one wishes time could stand still? This is Botswana, where you will encounter endless horizons. The unforgettable wilderness, the splendid waterways of the Okavango Delta, the Kalahari Sand Dunes and the abundance of wild-wildlife are just a few features of what makes Botswana your ultimate destination. Botswana is bordered by Zambia and Zimbabwe to the northeast, Namibia to the north and west, and South Africa to the south and southeast. At Kazungula, four countries - Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Namibia - meet at a single point mid-stream in the Zambezi River.Botswana is known to be hot and dry, with the exception of the lush oasis of the Okavango Delta in the north of the country - reputedly one of the most beautiful places in the world and considered by many travel connoisseurs to be the ultimate safari destination in Africa. Known for its stability, safety, and active government support of environmental protection, Botswana's National Parks, and the Great Okavango Delta, are vast, awe-inspiring lands that convey a sense of pristine Africa, rich in wildlife and untainted by the modern world.
Botswana is one of Africa's most exciting tour vacation destinations and it has developed an admirable reputation for fervently protecting its precious and varied environment. It is a land with vast herds of giraffe, elephant, gemsbok and zebra that feast on nature's bounty and, in turn, attract cheetah and lion. The Okavango Delta has been likened to paradise on earth: its lily-filled waterways are best explored in a dugout canoe (mokoro). In the northeast, Chobe National Park boasts some of the largest herds of elephant in Africa. The vast Kalahari Desert offers visitors a chance to experience this seemingly infinite expanse as well as the opportunity to meet the people who have made this harsh land their home for millennia. Explore the mysterious ancient heart of our ancestors through the rock paintings of the Tsodilo Hills. The Makgadikgadi Pans are an ethereal realm that host rare desert species in the dry season, and attract thousands of migrating zebras when it rains.
