Botswana


Botswana hosts many splendours, one of which is the world’s biggest inland river delta, the fertile Okavango. The floodwaters of the Okavango River spill out over the Kalahari Desert sands, creating a fan-shaped jewel which gives life to Botswana’s arid interior. Its islands are forested with palms, and its floodplains are teeming with wildlife. Here, fish and birds, hippo and crocodiles, co-exist with herds of zebra and buffalo, elephant, lion and the wild dog. Chobe National Park and its great elephant herds is a wonderful addition to your Okavango experience, with the attraction of Victoria Falls just 90 km away.
