Enjoy adventurous Africa in Botswana


Botswana’s political stability has led to an increase in tourism. Botswana is the perfect destination who does not wants their roads paved for them but instead want to make their road as they go. Botswana is not exactly a cheap travel destination but those it’s an experience worth paying for those who have money. Those who want to enjoy the wilderness in Botswana should have enough time and be ready to let go of luxuries. Holiday packages in Botswana are meant for those who are prepared to rough it a little bit. Winter is the best time to visit the country. During winter days are clear and nights are cold, it is easy to spot wildlife during the period as they are usually found close to the water sources.

There is plenty to be experienced in Botswana and the Okavango delta tours must not be missed. It is usually a part of most holiday packages. The Okavango Delta is the largest inland delta in the world. The area is unspoilt as there is limited tourism, the game lodge at the delta can provide accommodation to tourists.  The Moremi Game Reserve is located on the eastern side of the delta. It is perhaps not the largest wildlife parks in Africa but it is still worth visiting. One can find almost 500 species of different birds in the Game Reserve along with other wildlife species like the leopard, cheetah, giraffe and many more. The area’s biggest quality is its unspoilt and pristine nature.

Another must stop in Botswana for safari lovers in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. It has been opened for tourism quite recently and is famous because of the book – Cry of the Kalahari. There are two private camps inside the camp in which visitors can stay. The best time to visit the camp reserve is early in the year but travelling can be quite difficult during that time as well. The inter dune valleys are green and beautiful at that time and one can spot a large number of animals as well.

The Chobe National Park is another destination that is usually a part of holiday packages in Botswana. The Park is home to an extremely varied wildlife, perhaps the best in Botswana because the riverfront can support a large number as well as variety of wild animals. The area supports a seriously large number of elephants and one almost never leaves the park without viewing elephants, the best time to view it is during the dry months from April to October but those who are interested in birding should visit the park between November and March. The national park is huge with an area of around eleven thousand square kilometers. It is the second largest National Park of Botswana.
