Botswana

Botswana is famous for its breathtaking game viewing and one of nature's great wonders, the Okavango Delta. The Okavango River extends over several thousand square kilometers before vanishing into the earth. These huge water reserves create the biggest oasis in the world. Thick grass, swamps and wide watercourses are superb pre-requisites for a personal nature experience. The enormous and diverse number of animal species can be seen best of all when on a 4 x 4 safari, a boat trip or walking in the bushveld. Other attractions such as the renowned Chobe National Park, Moremi Game Reserve, Central Kalahari Reserve and Makgadikgadi and Nxai National Park all offer the visitor superlative holiday experiences.
