Africa’s best-kept secret – An African safari holiday in the stunning wildlife conservation areas of Botswana allows you to experience the untouched beauty of Southern Africa where animals still roam wild and free. Nearly 40% of Botswana is dedicated to national parks, reserves, and wildlife management areas and animals are free to travel across wide unfenced tracts of land.
For the wildlife enthusiast, Botswana offers spectacular game-watching that includes some of the largest herds of elephants that gather along the Chobe River floodplains. Botswana is also home to the Okavango Delta, named one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa, and the Moremi Game Reserve, unrivaled for its wildlife and beauty.
From the ‘Big Five’ – lions, elephants, leopards, rhinoceros, and buffalo to over 400 species of birds, the Okavango Delta and its surrounds is a part of Botswana not to be missed.
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT CHOBE NATIONAL PARK
Stumble upon wildlife wherever you go in beautiful Botswana where elephant families slowly wander across the parks. As you gaze at these amazing scenes, you can hear the dull sound of heavy feet in the sand, the breathing whiffing, and the occasional trumpeting from these beautiful mighty giants.
One of the most awe-inspiring safari experiences is the up-close and personal meetings with wildlife at Chobe National Park, and we can assure you will have them frequently during your visit.
