BOTSWANA: |
|
Botswana’s Okavango Delta has to be Africa’s
most unique wildlife and wilderness sanctuary. It is a wetland
paradise located within the arid Kalahari desert, getting
its waters from rain falling in central Africa over 1000
km away. The crystal clear channels spreading like an outstretched
hand are nothing short of miraculous. Apart from the beauty
of the wetland habitat, game viewing is excellent throughout
the year. The heart of the Okavango is the Moremi Game reserve
which features permanent deltas, floodplains and forests.
Moremi is also a birder’s paradise. The Okavango offers
perfect opportunities to glide peacefully along the waterways
in dug-out canoes, while game drives offer guests a different
perspective of the area. Boating takes one further a field
and walks offer the opportunity to get close to wild Africa. |

| To
the northeast of the Okavango Delta are the Chobe and Linyanti
game reserves, which are renowned for their predators and
large concentrations of game, particularly elephant. There
are many varied habitats within the Chobe and Linyanti parks,
marshes, waterways, riverine forests, dry woodlands and
the world famous Savuti Channel. The Linyanti Wildlife Reserve
is 125,000 hectares of prime and private wildlife countryside.
The last stretches of Africa’s Great Rift Valley divide
the forests of the interior with the rivers and floodplains
of the Linyanti and it is along this ridge and along the
Savuti Channel that one sees the best wildlife. |
