While most African countries offer a variety of landscapes, nowhere are the contrasts as marked as they are in Botswana. In the north-west, the Okavango Delta, produced by a river that defies the laws of nature by flowing inland, is one of the richest ecosystems in the world, contrasting with the endless salty Makgadikgadi Pans and the Kalahari Desert where wildlife has adapted to survive the parched dryness.
The reserves in Botswana are truly wild, with opportunities for viewing some of the most plentiful game in Africa. In the Okavango Delta, Abu's Camp not only offers guests amazingly luxurious safari accommodation but also the incomparable experience of game viewing from elephant back. A relatively short plane hop away takes you to Jack's Camp, where PhD scientists and Kalahari bushmen will unveil not only some of the rare desert animals but also the archaeological and anthropological secrets of the Makgadikgadi Pans and Kalahari Desert. Mobile safaris are yet another option, offering prolific game viewing in even more remote areas that game lodges cannot reach.
In Botswana there is no such thing as standard; it is a magical place dotted with stunning lodges and camps which perfectly compliment the surroundings. Safaris in every shape and form, untouched wildernesses and exceptional wildlife make for a unique and compelling safari destination.
