Concatenation of game parks
The north of Botswana is home to several fantastic game parks, directly adjacent to each other. The highly diverse ecosystems all revolve around water, or rather the absence of water. Which way will you explore these wildlife parks? A round trip as much as possible by land guarantees an intense experience of nature. Will you choose a luxury FLY-IN or a helicopter tour? Then travel quickly and comfortably to Botswana's most diverse highlights.
Labyrinth of water
The Okavango Delta is an immense inland delta, where numerous large and small islands are enclosed by the labyrinth of water. The exceptionally diverse flora and fauna are best observed from the water, on foot safaris and from the air. The eastern part of the Okavango Delta falls under the Moremi Game Reserve. Much of Moremi is drier, and therefore accessible by 4WD. In the Okavango Delta and Moremi, you can look for the Big Five: lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhino.
Wetlands and shimmering Salt Pans
Linyanti, Savuti and Chobe National Park are connected by the Savuti Channel, which feeds the wetlands of Savuti and Chobe. Here you will see large elephant populations, as well as herds of buffalo and zebra. Large concentrations of game can also be found around the waterholes in the dry part of Savuti, all of which sooner or later come to drink from the same waterholes. A little further south are the Makgadikgadi and Nxai salt pans, generally bone-dry, desolate landscapes where life seems impossible at first glance. It is the scene of great migrations of zebras and wildebeests passing through, an unparalleled spectacle.
Silent witnesses of a distant past
One of the largest collection of petroglyphs in the world attests that humans and animals have lived together for many thousands of years in this remote corner of the world now called Botswana. The petroglyphs are hidden in the Tsodilo hills on the edge of the Kalahari, the semi-desert that covers much of the country.
