Botswana is an open wilderness of wetlands, salt pans, & savannas. One of the world's unique ecosystems, the Okavango Delta, is located in Botswana. The Okavango Delta is a watery wilderness of streams, ponds covered with giant lilies and a fringed shore with an array of wildlife including elephants, wildebeest, zebras, giraffes, antelopes, birds and hippos. The country offers excellent game viewing and birding both in the Delta and in the Chobe Game Reserve, home to one of the largest herds of free-ranging elephants in the world. Botswana's Central Kalahari Game Reserve also offers good game viewing and some of the most remote and unspoiled wilderness in southern Africa. The Chobe River supports one of the richest concentrations of wildlife in southern Africa and its national park is a must see on your visit!
