Lots of animals - both on land, in water and in the air. Botswana is a beautiful country.

In my review of Chobe National Park you will see why I rate Botswana so highly as a Safari destination. Overall, the people are remarkably friendly and proud of their country, its history and leaders. Even through areas of extreme poverty, there was a consistent expression of pride. The scenic beauty, isolation, and unspoiled expanses of land are worth the trip.

My impression is the delta is hit or miss. It will either be the most amazing safari in africa or a real disappointment. It all depends on the wildlife that is on the islands you visit for your nature walks.

Botswana offers an extensive variety of game and bird species. The country’s habitat is however not very diverse. The bush experience is however maintained with rustic camping sites and well integrated lodges, etc.

Huge country with a low density of tourists. Camps have extremely friendly and helpful staff who do their utmost to make sure you enjoy your safari.

Botswana still feels very untouched and not as touristy as some other places in Africa.

Botswana is an amazing country, there is a real sense of real life africa here. The people are so friendly and always willing to help. The safaris are amazing, whether you are seeing the animals or exploring the delta and fishing. There are so many activities on offer, and the scenery is like nothing else. You will love what botswana has to offer, and it truely is a trip of a life time. I would recommend going to see the Delta, beauty like none offer.

Botswana has managed to preserve its wildlife - unlike so many other african nations.

The wildlife viewing in the Okavango Delta was fantastic! Close views of Lions, Leopards, Elephants, Zebra...the list goes on. One of my favorite parts of the safari was the birds. There are so many beautiful birds!

The weather in June was great. During the days the temps ranged from the 70's to 80's(F). At night the temp dropped into the 40's or 50's, cold but not bad at all. Plus the cooler temperatures means not too many bugs!

I could not be pleased more with the guides incredible knowledge and tracking skills. Amazing!
