Botswana
Thanks to a strange quirk of nature, this desert country explodes with life at its beating, green heart. The Okavango Delta is the jewel in Botswana’s crown – one of the last true African wildernesses.
The floodwaters of the Okavango bring life to Botswana, merging with the Linyanti, Selinda and Chobe rivers to turn the entire northern part of the country into a haven for wildlife. A safari here is alive with animal and bird life, all attracted by the precious water.
Further south, the desert survives unaffected, providing a harsh contrast to the lush north, especially the lunar salt pans of the Makgadkgadi.

Three Places to Visit in Botswana
Okavango Delta
One of the continent’s most impressive natural phenomena, this wetland landscape is pristine wilderness. Private concessions offer total seclusion, surrounded by incredible wildlife.
Selinda Reserve
Fed by the Selinda Spillway that runs through its heart, this is an expanse of grasslands and riverine forest. Migrating and endemic animals pack this reserve year-round.
Makgadikgadi Pans
In total contrast to the delta, these lunar salt pans offer a completely different experience. Despite the arid environment, the pans are home to a surprising array of hardy animals.
