Explore Botswana
Botswana is a landlocked country within Southern Africa. This vast 581,730 square kilometer Democratic country is neighbored by South Africa, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The Kalahari dominates much of this land, covering about 84% of the country. Botswana has set aside a staggeringly large amount of its land to national parks, game reserves and other conservation areas. Close to forty per cent.
Within Botswana the ecosystems contrast, as well as very much compliment one another. This really makes it such an ideal destination as you can travel from delta to desert, to ancient saltpans and back again, immersing yourself in the deep, rich culture and heritage of the land, look for fossils, ticket off as many birds as possible, count how many stripes a zebra has or stare dreamily into a space where the animals roam freely and undisturbed, where man’s hand has had little to nothing to do with the sculpturing of the land.
The Okavango Delta is a jewel in this otherwise dry Acacia clad land. Rain having fallen in the Angolan highlands takes six months to travel a number of watercourses large and small to eventually form one river that flows into Botswana. The Okavango River, this is Southern Africa’s third largest river.
The Okavango Delta widely known as the largest inland delta in the world is about 16,000 square kilometers depending on the annual floods and season.
Home to 122 species of mammal, 71 fish, 64 reptiles, 444 birds and 1300 of flowering plants there really is something for every kind of enthusiast from a first time Safari goer to a well seasoned old African hand.
Botswana is known for its peace and stability, having been a protectorate under the British government until September 30th 1966 when there was a gradual transition and hand over back to the Batswana people. It is a huge country about the size of France or Texas with a tiny population, a fraction over 2 million people. When you visit you will see that there is lots of space for the people and its beautiful wildlife.
Botswana is a place where the bush is still very wild and pure.
