Botswana

THE CALL OF THE CATTLE EGRET, THE GOLDEN DUNES OF THE KALAHARI DESERT - BOTSWANA CREATES THAT FIRST TIME FEELING, EVERY TIME. From the golden deserts to the lush Okavango Delta, the stretches of the imagination come to fruition in Botswana.

The Khama Rhino Sanctuary proudly boasts 4300ha where rhino, zebra, wildebeest, leopard, hyena and jackal delight in horizonless landscapes. The Tuli Block, Mashatu, Gemsbok National Park (now the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park) and Central Kalahari Game Reserve are other expressions of the same indescribable beauty.

Wide-open plains and thick untouched woodlands provide a glimpse of what Botswana’s appeal is all about. Chobe, Savuti and Makgadikgadi, with the largest salt pan in the world, are all worth a visit. A wealth of activities await you in Botswana. Bush walks, mokoro trips, quad biking and spa treatments are just a few fun ways to mix it up. A trip to Tsodilo Hills, the ‘Louvre of the Desert’ allows you to view thousands of preserved rock paintings in a 10km area. Botswana is a destination ideal for game viewing, honeymooning, family trips, bird watching and so much more Visitors can look forward to being welcomed by luxury lodges, improved road networks and efficient telecommunication systems.

Okavango Delta

A LABYRINTH OF LAGOONS, LAKES AND HIDDEN CHANNELS, THE OKAVANGO DELTA IS UNQUESTIONABLY ONE-OF-A-KIND. If one describes the Okavango, words write themselves...

Lagoons, islands and islets of various sizes link under infinitely tall palms throwing their shade over crystal pools, forest glades and grassy knolls.

The Okavango is the world’s largest inland delta covering an area of more than 15,000 square kms - a little smaller than Israel or half the size of Switzerland.

Its water is astonishingly clean and pure, so much so, it’s drinkable; almost certainly due to its passing through sparsely populated areas on its journey from Angola. The overall length of the Delta from the border to the Thamalakane River is a little under 300kms and so the core of the Delta is approximately 200km from end to end.

On the mainland and among the islands in the delta, lions, elephants, hyenas, wild dog, buffalo, hippo and crocodiles congregate. Fishing can take place anywhere, for a more challenging experience, fishing camps north of the delta, in the Panhandle are ideal. The Okavango offers bird watching, game viewing, mokoro activities, photography and a type of relaxation unparalleled.

MOSI-OA-TUNYA, ‘THE SMOKE THAT THUNDERS’, THE ONLY WONDER OF THE WORLD TO BE MADE 100% OF WATER; THE GRAND VICTORIA FALLS. An avalanche of water, visible from miles away as the spray billows up like giant smoke signals. An incredible vantage point is the Knife-edge Bridge where visitors can have the finest view of the Eastern Cataract and the main falls as well as the boiling pot. Because of the spray from the falls - the Rain Forest at Victoria Falls is the only place on earth that it rains 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. During a full moon you can see a moon bow at Victoria Falls. This can be seen through the spray at night instead of during the day as a rainbow.

Remarkably preserved in its natural state, Victoria Falls inspires visitors as much today as it did David Livingstone in the 1860’s.

The falls and the surrounding area have been declared National Parks and a World Heritage Site, thus preserving the area from excessive commercialisation. Wonderful activities surround this spectacle, from bungee jumping and micro-lighting to white water rafting, canoeing and river cruises. There’s even an internationally recognised golf course where one can watch the spray from the Falls along with the odd wildlife crossing the fairway.
