THE COUNTRY OF BOTSWANA

Botswana is the least densely populated country in the world, with a population of 1,7 million in a country the size of France. Most of this vast area is uninhabited.

More than 30% of Botswana is devoted to wild life and conservation. Botswana, including the Chobe area has the most diverse ecosystem in the world. The country has up to 600 species of birds and all of the Southern Africa region’s big game species can be found here.

Botswana is a unique experience that will enrich any visitor’s life. This landlocked country which is largely semi arid desert has in its heart the unique Okavango Delta – recently declared a world heritage site. This is where the mighty Okavango River flows not into the sea but into the Kalahari sands, creating an ecosystem that is life enriching in its diversity and wonder.

Botswana people are friendly and welcoming. If you have time in Maun visit the excellent curio shops and the small museum that reflects the history of the town area.

THE OKAVANGO DELTA

The Okavango Delta is one of the richest wildlife habitats in the world. It is a paradise for bird lovers and full of big game.

On your first visit you will probably see Elephants, Giraffe, Hippo, Zebra and Wildebeest to name but a few. The close encounters with Elephants will be particularly memorable with silent/still sessions as you confront lone bulls or sit in your vehicle amongst large herds.

If you are lucky you will see mothers with their young and experience the ability of an elephant to creep through heavy bush to investigate you and your vehicle. You will hear Lions and Hyena at night and I am sure you will find it hard to sleep during your first night in the bush. But the experience of being out there with nature in the raw will live with you forever.
