Botswana is the leader in low-impact, upmarket tourism. This eco-friendly approach promotes a true wilderness experience in this unspoiled country. The beauty of the Okavango Delta is best discovered by mokoro canoe, while abundant wildlife can be encountered in Chobe and Moremi parks.

This country has an abundance of big African animals such as elephants, giraffes, hippo, buffalo and zebra. Big cats aren’t as prevalent, but there are still plenty of lions to spot. Rhino is also making a comeback here. If you’re keen on seeing rarer animals, you can find endangered antelopes and African wild dogs in some of the country’s northern parks.

Botswana offers some of the best safaris on the African continent; while other countries may have invented the safari, Botswana has perfected it. The combination of epic wildlife populations and diverse landscapes, makes for endless safari possibilities.
