Glide along the intricate channels of the Okavango Delta and explore this unique eco-system with us
Botswana, located in the heart of Southern Africa, is a true wonderland of natural beauty and wildlife. From the intricate waterways of the Okavango Delta, teeming with wildlife, to the desolate great saltpans of the Makgadikgadi desert and the dry Linyanti Plains, Botswana's landscapes are nothing short of extraordinary.
The Okavango Delta, one of the most unique ecosystems on earth, is a wetland oasis in the midst of a harsh desert. Its waters are fed by rain falling 1,000 kilometers away in Angola, making it a true natural wonder. Here, you can explore the marshes and wetlands in a traditional mekoro (dugout canoe) and witness massive herds of elephants, among other wildlife, in their natural habitat. But it's not just the large animals that make the Delta special; it's the balance of this unique ecosystem, with rare sitatunga antelope and river-dwelling Lechwe roaming its waters and the vibrant birdlife, frogs, and fish adding color and life to the scene.
In Chobe National Park, home to one of the largest concentrations of elephants in Africa, you can witness a breathtaking game viewing experience. Here, the majestic predators of the savannah roam free, including lions, hyenas, and cheetahs. The Savute Marsh, known for its swimming lions, offers exceptional photographic opportunities, and the surrounding landscape is nothing short of awe-inspiring.
Botswana's wildlife is not limited to the savannah; the country is also home to endangered species such as African Painted Wolves and Cheetahs.
