BOTSWANA |
|
An oasis in the
great Kalahari desert, Botswana is home to some of the most
spectacular wildlife and natural scenery on Earth, reminiscent
of an "Africa as it used to be." 10,000 square miles of lagoon,
marsh and papyrus channels in the Okavango Delta teem with
animals and birds, giving way to wide open plains dotted with
thorn trees and desert like salt pans. Here you will find
the largest concentration of elephants in all the world together
with a true untamed wilderness. |

SEA OF LAND, LAND OF WATER
Botswana extends from Namibia in the west through the Kalahari
Desert to the Makgadikgadi Pans, the wetlands of the Okavango
Delta, Linyanti / Savuti and Chobe, in the northeast. Botswana
is host to one of the few remaining animal migrations on earth
and features the Okavango Delta at the southern end of the
Great Rift Valley. The Delta is unique and is created by the
Okavango River as it flows into the arid region of the Kalahari
Desert. It forms an alluvial shaped oasis over an area of
450 000 hectares of desert terrain. The habitat is of its
own making forged through the millennia, shifting and changing,
and drawing to it birds and wildlife in abundance.
