It's not an exaggeration to say that Botswana is a wildlife paradise. Considered one of Africa’s last great wildernesses, when you count incredible natural treasures like the Okavango Delta, the Kalahari and Chobe National Park among your line up, you can see why. Botswana is such a wildlife hotspot because of how the rugged landscapes have been managed, leaving natural highways open and plains unfenced has meant that creatures of all shapes and sizes have been able to move in and around the habitats – this is a place where you can tick off every type of African animal you have ever wanted to see. Particularly elephants – there are a lot of those! In that respect, its best to bring your sense of adventure when you come to Botswana, there are national parks, savannah, wetland, desert and so much more to explore.

While it’s easy to get swept up in the nature of it all, Botswana also has plenty of ancient indigenous culture to explore – over 20 languages are spoken within the nation. Getting a glimpse of a daily life that is rooted in thousands of years’ worth of tradition and knowledge of the land and its bountiful gifts is humbling to say the least!
