The wilderness areas of Botswana offer a classic safari experience.
Wildlife conservation in Botswana has been largely successful. With the exception of a network of 'veterinary fences', parks are not fenced and animals can travel freely. Thus, the country feels wild and open. The desert parks of the Kalahari are vast and quiet, and the harsh red landscape demands a taut awareness. In contrast, the abundance of wildlife in the lush Okavango Delta makes for an extraordinary experience. Elephants move through camp during the day, and lions prowl at night.
The people of Botswana are friendly and hospitable. If you travel to this place, bring with you an easy attitude. Let's keep Botswana a classic safari destination!
Hands down, my favorite place in Africa. Remote, but easy travel between camps means little time wasted in transit. Amazing wildlife, bird life and scenic beauty.

Botswana has got both wetland and open pan and wide range of game reserves.
Botswana is easy to go. You feel very safe there. In general, the natural parks are well protected. you can find super accommodation opportunities.

Botswana is a safe, secure and friendly place to visit Africa. The people welcome tourists and have carefully conserved the game and birds of Africa.
Less "mass" touristic" than in other countries. Wild experience in preserved nature.
People in Botswana is very open and helpful.

A country where one feels at risk as regards personal safety. We walked around after dark. Slightly more developed than Zambia or Zimbabwe, maybe because the clientele were largely South African.

list. Crossing into Victoria Falls was wonderful: despite the woes of its country, a town and a people so warm, funny, smart and welcoming. And I was surprised by the quality of the wildlife there, too (as well as the white water rafting and nightlife). Botswana and Zimbabwe are countries that will sear images onto your retina and memories into your mind, and and these things conspire over the years to produce a kind of soul-magic not easily found in other places. They call you back to Africa.

No hassle - no self-drivers/campers, unspoiled nature and lots of game to spot.
