Botswana the bushveld paradise
Botswana is a very beautiful country to visit from the hustle and bustle of city life to the calm and tranquil pans and the abundant wildlife of the Delta and many game parks available although on the Orapa golf course alone you can see Leopards, Warthogs, Kudu, Banded Mongoose, Meercats and a variety of Bird life as there is a game park within the lease area.

I have been all over Southern Africa and Botswana is definitely the best place to come to see big game animals. Also, it is not overly touristy and the people are very friendly!

Out of the world safari, pure isolation and nature at its finest.
We undertook a mobile tented safari starting in the Okavanga Delta and ended with 3 nights at the Matesi Lodge in Zimbabwe. From start to finish this was a safari that would leave you wanting more and wanting to go back. All the people we met were helpful and friendly and wanted to ensure we had the best time ever. The mobile safari allowed us to be isolated from the general hustle of the safari vehicles and this gave you time and space to enjoy the surroundings. The guides are superb and extremely knowledgeable and they take time to ensure you get to see what you want to see. No mobile phone coverage and isolation from every day life gives you a sense of really being in with nature and this was priceless.

The diversity of Botswana's wilderness.
A quiet, wild, marvellous country in the middle of nowhere
During our trip we had the opportunity to do many game safari which was our first activity, and we enjoied all of them. In particular we beloved the walking safari, the canooe safari and the boat safari in the okawango river, which is for sure our preferred place in botswana for kind of anumals and birds, scenery, sunsets on the river. Kalahari desert also is fantastic due to the fact that you feel really in an ancient world. On the other side, Chobe park had the biggest amount of animals but also of... tourists ! Accomodations where perfect in any place, even too much confortable. Highlights ? Leopard chasing during night in Moremi reserve,
The country appears to be English-speaking, tourist-friendly, well organized and well run. It's very close to Victoria Falls which is a big attraction on its own.
I would, and have, tell anyone and everyone to go to Botswana. I loved it there and would go back in a heartbeat.
