Why
Botswana
National
Geographic' tapped Botswana as Africa's
last wildlife refuge. This country has recently
gained recognition, joining Kenya and Tanzania,
as one of the world's hottest wildlife areas.
The country has intentionally avoided mass
tourism and chosen to offer a higher quality
experience to a lesser number of people.
Accommodations
Most camps
and lodges are tented, restricted in size
(usually not more than 24 clients at a time);
some Chobe properties are larger.
Gameviewing
Open vehicles,
canoes and motor boats at 'wet' camps. The
'dry' camps focus on finding the large predators
and herbivores. Some walking.
Getting Around
Light aircraft
transport between camps is a necessity as
roads are non-existent.
Other Attractions
The Okavango
Delta, a wetland surrounded by desert, features
wonderful wildlife viewing, with plenty
of hippo, crocodiles and bird species. The
Makgadikgadi basin offers a desert experience
and Bushmen interaction.
