About Botswana Travel
Botswana is considered Africa's best-kept secret. Endless expanses, a magnificent wilderness and untouched nature give this country the much-cited title of "Africa's last paradise". If you are looking for adventure and want to see animals in their natural environment, this is the place for you.
Today, Botswana is one of the safest destinations in Africa, politically stable and characterized by a strong economy. Ecological tourism is very important in order to preserve the country's unusual diversity, as almost 40% of the total area are national parks, game reserves or protected areas. Therefore, a trip to Botswana is not exactly cheap, but the value for money, especially for nature lovers, is enormous.
The country is home to the Okavango Delta, the largest inland delta in the world, and the endless Kalahari, a "mysterious land of thirst". Chobe National Park is home to the highest density of elephants in southern Africa and the Makgadikgadi Pans and Nxai Pans, the largest salt pan system in the world.
Botswana can easily be discovered by rental car on a self-drive tour, in a small group or on a privately guided tour. Fly-in safaris are very popular with travelers on a tight schedule. The choice should be based on personal preference. There are no objective reasons for or against any of the different options.
Due to the infrastructural conditions (only important overland roads are paved), a Botswana vacation should be planned professionally, especially depending on the planned travel time (dry season, rainy season). A sensible balance between "seeing a lot" and "relaxing" as well as a sensible choice of route are important. After all, nobody wants to spend their entire vacation in a vehicle.
Distances must be estimated realistically. In some parts of the country, 100 km can be covered much more quickly than in others. For some stops, a minimum stay of several nights is recommended, for others one night is sufficient. Due to the limited number of accommodations and their seasonal availability, the right choice and early booking is crucial here.
