Botswana is a large country with only 2 milllion people. The abundant wildlife is not affected by humans as much as in other countries. People are friendly. Tourists will have a great time.
The goverment of Botswana seem to have aimed to have low volume tourism (at a slightly higher cost) which means you see more wildlife that seems less stressed with fewer tourists. Surely the perfect approach!
Botswanas parks are close to the nature. The accomodation has a very good standard. The service excelent.

Truly stunning scenery and wildlife.
In general less rampantly touristy than places like Masai Mara in Kenya however as such overall more expensive for the prime wildlife areas.

I was living in Botswana at the time of my trip on the Zambezi Queen, and was lucky to be able to explore all around the country. The people are great and there's a very relaxed pace of life. The wildlife is abundant and the scenery unbeatable.
Huge variety of habitats from the massive Mgadikadi pan & the Kalahari, to the incredible Chobe reserve and of course the unique Okavavgo Delta.
Botswana is a "trip of a lifetime," but one that I need to repeat, because, the people and the land have gotten under my skin. For the first time, I "get" Africa. Photos and movies can't do it full justice. Its not really sightseeing so much as it's an experience, unlike any that I've ever had before.

The people of Botswana are some of the most friendly and helpful we have ever met on our travels and this coupled withe the amazing landscape filled with amazing game and birds makes Botswana our top safari destination. The care and service provided by Wilderness Safaris in all their camps was first rate and all the rest of our travels will be measured by their dedication and service. We are already planning our return!
