Virtually synonymous with the Kalahari Desert, much of Botswana is flat and dry, covered in thorny acacia trees and home to enormous salt pans and rolling grasslands. Rainfall is highest in northern Botswana where vast open woodlands dominate the environment and several globally important wetland habitats – the Okavango Delta, the Linyanti Swamps and the Chobe River – support huge numbers of animals.
Botswana is a haven for wildlife and several of its protected areas – the Chobe National Park, the Okavango Delta and Moremi Game Reserve in particular – rank among Africa’s best game-viewing destinations. Botswana’s Kalahari parks are some of the wildest and least developed in the region but offer excellent opportunities for game viewing, especially in early summer when several local zebra migrations occur.
Botswana’s wildlife highlights include Africa’s greatest concentrations of elephant, fantastic bird watching, abundant predators and the continent’s largest population of African wild dog. Botswana’s lions are particularly famous for their size and their ability to prey on large animals such as hippo, buffalo and even young elephants.
The evergreen jewel of the Okavango Delta is at the heart of Botswana’s safari attractions, flanked in the east by the rolling savannah of the Savuti and the teeming elephant paradise of the Chobe.
