Botswana

BotswanaAlthough most famous for the spectacular inland Okavango Delta, the land-locked country of Botswana is mostly dominated by the Kalahari Desert. Botswana safaris offer travellers wonderful and diverse experiences in pristine natural environments. In Botswana you can explore the deserts, savannahs, wetlands, the delta and the game reserves of one of the wildest regions in Africa. A trip to Botswana is a memory of a lifetime where your soul gets in touch with the heart of our planet and sees it in a most natural form where economic growth has not yet ruined the environment.

Described as "Africa's success story" since its independence in 1966, Botswana is a sparsely populated country with a stable, democratic government. Its economic growth and development continue apace to the present day.
