In 2016 Lonely Planet declared Botswana the top country in the world to visit! It grabs the top spot thanks to its unusual combination of desert and delta that draws an immense concentration of wildlife!

The casual visitor to Botswana could be excused for seeing the country as kilometre upon kilometre of flat, desolate scrubland with little or no surface water. But when you immerse yourself on a “Junglers” photographic safari this all changes…

Botswana is so full of life-changing experiences it would be easier to list the things that aren’t remarkable. It is a photographers delight within the world’s largest intact inland Delta; the unimaginable vastness of the world’s second largest game reserve – the Central Kalahari Game Reserve; the isolation and other-worldliness of the Makgadikgadi – uninhabited pans the size of Portugal; and the astoundingly prolific wildlife of the Chobe National Park. Botswana is the last stronghold for a number of endangered bird and mammal species, including Wild Dog, Cheetah, Brown Hyena, Cape Vulture, Wattled Crane, Kori Bustard, and Pel’s Fishing Owl

• Central Kalahari National Park

Nothing can prepare you for the mystery and intensity of southern Africa’s largest and remotest park.

“Wide and empty pans appear as vast white stretches of saucer-flat earth, meeting a soft, blue-white sky. At night the stars utterly dominate the land; their brilliance and immediacy are totally arresting,” Botswana Tourism

• Makgadikgadi Salt Pans

For most of the year, the series of ‘Pans’ remain desolate and arid! In fact no plant life ever grows on the salt pans, but the fringes are painted with grasslands. And following floods, the two largest pans attract wildlife and most eye-catching are the tens of thousands of flamingos.

“During this time, the pans can be transformed into a powder blue lake, the waters gently lapping the shorelines, and flowing over the pebble beaches – a clear indication of the gigantic, prehistoric lake the Makgadikgadi once was. Research suggests that the Makgadikgadi is a relic of what was once one of the biggest inland lakes Africa has ever had,” Botswana Tourism

• Moremi National Park

It continues to rank as one of the most appealing reserves on the African continent with its rich ecosystem. The annual flood marks a spectacular performance of interaction when wildlife synchronize their movement with the seasonal flood

“Contained within an area of approximately 3900 sq kms, here land and Delta meet to create an exceedingly picturesque preserve of floodplains – either seasonally or perennially wet, waterways, lagoons, pools, pans, grasslands and riparian, riverine and mophane forests. This terrain makes driving Moremi’s many loops and trails both delightful and, at times, totally inspiring,” Botswana Tourism 

• Chobe National Park

The Chobe River will wind you in with it’s vast surrounding terrains, ecosystems, and different vibes. It is also famous for its massive populations of both herds of elephant and buffalo.

“Here you may see hundreds of elephants at one time. You may be surrounded by elephants, as the main Serondella road becomes impassable and scores of family herds cross the main road to make their way to the river to drink, bathe and play,” Botswana Tourism

• Savuti National Park

Truly at the interior of the park, Savuté boasts most of the chobe species, except for water-loving antelope. It is best known for its predators,particularly lion, cheetah and hyena, of which there are large resident populations.

“Geographically, Savuté is an area of many curiosities. One of its greatest mysteries is the Savuté channel itself, which has over the past 100 year inexplicably dried up and recommenced its flow several times. This irregular water flow explains the numerous dead trees that line the channel, for they have germinated and grown when the channel was dry and drowned when the channel flowed again,” Botswana Tourism
