Summary

Botswana is a premier safari destination and a top choice for a holiday. With more than a third of the country falling within protected parks and reserves, it is a haven for flourishing wildlife. It will be hard to choose between the green jewel of the Okavango Delta with its glistening swamps, the dunes and vast openness of the Kalahari plains or the action-packed river ecosystem of Chobe. If your budget allows, then you can combine several destinations together by linking them with scenic charter flights. There are also mobile camping safaris and rustic lodge options available for those on a budget.
