Learn More About Botswana

The country consists of mostly flat lands with 70% of the territory being within the Kalahari Desert. It became independent from the Commonwealth in September of 1966; however, it still maintains keep ties with the British Royal family.

Archaeological findings have shown that hominids have lived in Botswana for around two million years. Remains have shown that the country itself was inhabited at least 400,000 years ago.  Botswana has various areas of wildlife within the main region of both the delta and desert areas. There are also grasslands and savannas, where blue wildebeests, antelopes, and other mammals and birds are found.  If you are looking for the endangered Africa Wild Dog, Northern Botswana has one of the few remaining large populations left!

The Okavango Delta is a unique ecosystem and one of the most sought after wilderness destinations in the world. It is found deep into Africa’s untouched interior where you will be surrounded by serenity and tranquility. Okavango River is the major river that feeds the Delta. It creates flooding in March and June to feed the water-starved wildlife. While in the Okavango Delta, a mokoro ride is a must do. It is a canoe used to get around the shallow waters of the Delta. They are usually navigated by a guide in the stern, pushing the canoe along with a pole. Experiencing the delta with this quiet mode of transportation will allow you to get closer to the birds and wildlife in an uninterrupted way.

The Chobe National Park and Moremi Game Reserve (in the Okavango Delta) are major tourist destinations. Chobe National Park has the world's largest concentration of African elephants and is home to about 350 species of birds. The Moremi Game Reserve is the only officially protected area of the Okavango Delta and has become a very popular destination for tour groups as is it often combined with a visit to Chobe National Park. There are also specialised sanctuaries like Khama Rhino Sanctuary (for rhinoceros) and Makgadikgadi Sanctuary (for flamingos).
