Highlights
•Okavango
Delta, a vast area of crystal clear water which is home
to an amazing variety of birdlife and wildlife. Fed by floodwater
from the Angolan highlands
in June, it fans out into a shifting
web of palm fringed channels, lagoons and islands and gently
soaks away into the Kalahari desert to the south.
•Moremi
Game Reserve, part of
the eastern
side of the delta, has diverse ecosystems harbouring a
great variety of wildlife and
scenery.
•Chobe
National Park, best known for its huge herds of elephant
and the panorama and life around the Chobe River floodplains.
•Makgadikgadi
Pans, covering over 12,000 sq kms of land, the remnants
of an enormous inland lake are now some of the largest saltpans
in the world.
 •The
Kalahari, where the San bushmen can show you skills learnt
over generations which have allowed them to survive the harsh
conditions.
Weather
There are two main seasons: April to November is the
driest time and December to March when it can be hot
and rainy with thunderstorms. In the winter months of July
and August the evenings are cool and the days warm and clear.
