Botswana is one of the finest tourist destinations on the African continent.
The Okavango, Moremi Game Reserve and Chobe National Park reserves offer visitors
the best of several wildlife areas, appealing to the game-viewer and bird-watcher,
photographer and sporting fisherman, the explorer of hidden places and the lover of
Africa in its least spoilt state. A sizable proportion of the country - over 40% - is
given over to national parks, reserves and private concessions, where tourists crane their
necks out of jeeps to check out the roving animals.
Botswana’s Moremi Wildlife Reserve lies in the centre of the Okavango Delta, the largest inland delta
in the world. The reserve encompasses a wide range of habitats – from wetland, floodplain and reed beds
to forest and savannah woodland. The fauna inhabiting the park is abundant and equally diverse, ranging
from exotic birds, zebras, buffalo, wildebeest and giraffes to hippos and lions; the only large African
mammals not found here are rhino.
One of the largest Inland water systems in the world, the Okavango Delta covers an
approximate area of 16 000 square km of the Kalahari. One of the best experiences
in the Okavango Delta is to be poled along the reed lined channels in a Mokoro (dug out canoe).
Sit back and relax as the water gurgles tranquilly under the mokoro while your skilled guide points
out the fauna and flora. The Okavango offers fantastic wildlife and birdlife.
Central Kalahari covers a massive area of 58 000 square km about the size of Switzerland and Denmark. Sand dunes and shrubs in the north and Mopane woodlands in the south compliment the open grassy plains of the central reserve. Ancient riverbeds cross this harsh and beautiful landscape. Wildlife in the reserve includes wild dog, brown hyena, lion cheetah, leopard, blue wildebeest, gemsbok, kudu and red hartebeest. Birdlife includes vultures, raptors, and grassland bird species.
Enjoy a afternoon township tour. The next day proceed via mountain terrain to Kalahari Desert. The uniquely styled clay buildings blend perfectly with the russet-coloured Kalahari sands of their surroundings.
Travel into the western outskirts of the Khomas Hochland on untouched wilderness of pricate farm
land with free-roaming game species and unforgettable vistas. Your guestfarm promises vast landscapes,
red dunes, silvery grasss plains and fascinating desert rock formations and plants.
