Botswana is a place of plenty despite its location in southern Africa, where the desert dominates the landscape. One of the remaining great wilderness areas in Africa, where wild animals wander free through unfenced terrain, occupies about 20% of the nation and is home to several wildlife reserves and national parks.
Every year, huge herds of African elephants traverse Botswana’s ancient migratory paths. The country is also home to all five of Africa’s most iconic animals, including lions, leopards, buffalo, and rhinos. The wildlife includes zebra and buffalo herds that are truly awe-inspiring, lions that gracefully swim across rivers, cheetahs that move stealthily, hippos that drool, meerkats who are amiable, and wild dog groups that thrive in Africa.

An abundance of wildlife congregates in the breathtaking Okavango Delta, which is like a sea on land, to play in the shimmering canals and lily-covered lagoons. While paddling through these waters in a mokoro (dugout canoe), be on the lookout for crocodiles, colorful birds, and hippos.
You can reach the longest uninterrupted beach on the planet from the world’s largest inland delta. Amazing fossil river valleys dotted with old Baobab trees dot the Kalahari Desert, which is home to glistening white salt pans, brilliant blue lakes, golden meadows, and more.
Additionally, the indigenous San people call this area home. The San are the original inhabitants of southern Africa and are well-known for their profound connection to and understanding of the soil.
Botswana is well-known for its private safaris, so you can enjoy the country’s attractions without having to fight your way through crowds of other tourists. Located in secluded areas, the five-star lodges and camps offer unparalleled luxury with amenities like private pools, butlers, sunset river cruises, and stargazing from the comfort of a claw-foot tub.

Despite being thousands of kilometers away from the ocean, water shapes life in Botswana, a landlocked nation. The greatest number of African elephants in the world congregate along the Chobe River to drink. Seasonal rainfall from the Angolan highlands creates a network of silver veins that supply life to wetlands and lagoons in the Okavango Delta.
As amazed tourists paddle silently by in traditional canoes in mokoros, lions, leopards, and lechwes inhabit islands dotted with terracotta termite mounds in the Moremi Game Reserve. Natural survival tactics provide breathtaking views in this sparsely populated nation. While meerkats search for insects in the dust, thousands of zebras travel through the Makgadikgadi Pans, a large bed of crusted salt, between December and March to feed on the nutrient-rich grasses that surround them. Communities of San people also perform techniques passed down from their ancestors on the blazing red dunes of the Kalahari.
