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.
Okavango, a labyrinth of water
The Okavango Delta is a vast inland delta, where numerous large and small islands are enclosed by a labyrinth of water. The best way to observe the exceptionally diverse flora and fauna is from the water, on walking safaris, and from the air. The eastern part of the Okavango Delta is part of the Moremi Game Reserve. Much of Moremi is drier and therefore accessible by 4WD. In the Okavango Delta and Moremi, you can go in search of the Big Five: lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, and rhino. Linyanti, Savuti, and Chobe National Park are connected by the Savuti Channel, which feeds the wetlands of Savuti and Chobe. Here you’ll see large elephant herds, as well as herds of buffalo and zebras. Large concentrations of wildlife can also be found around the waterholes in the dry part of Savuti; sooner or later, they all come to drink from the same pools. A little further south lie the Makgadikgadi and Nxai salt pans, typically bone-dry, desolate landscapes where life seems impossible. It is the setting for massive migrations of zebras and wildebeests, 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.
