:: Where we go - Botswana
A landlocked country teeming with game and birdlife,
with contrasting landscapes and quality camps and lodges.
A kaleidoscope of images will return home with you: that malachite
kingfisher perfectly mirrored in the still waters of the Okavango
Delta; lion cubs cavorting on the plains at Savuti; the sun
kissing the spiral curves of a kudu bull's horns as he gazes
in the dawn light at Linyanti; the vast breeding herds of
elephant that you encountered having a mud bath on the banks
of the Chobe river at dusk; and a meercat sentry standing
tall on a tree stump.

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.
Linyanti, open plains and marshland
excellent cat sightings and wild dog.
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. |
