In the landlocked country of Botswana in southern Africa, the remarkable wildlife outnumbers people. Indeed, as one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world, and with a strong commitment to conservation, elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos, hippos and more roam the vast landscape, where national parks and reserves allow them to thrive. Unique scenery reveals the thrilling array of animals: the shimmering expanse of its world-famous inland delta, the Okavango; the riverfront vistas of Chobe National Park with its abundant elephant population; the semi-arid wilds of the Kalahari Desert; and the impressive Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, where shifting seasons change the lunar-like landscape of the dry season into a temporary wetland perfect for migratory birds once the rains arrive. With such spectacular scenery and fantastic wildlife, it’s no surprise that Botswana is firmly established as a leading luxury safari holiday destination, while the country’s safe and welcoming culture is a further draw.
