Botswana_600150

Peaceful, prosperous & with nearly 40% of the land set aside as protected nature reserves, Botswana is rightly considered 1 of the top destinations in Africa.

The amazing Okavango Delta, fed by crystal clear waters of the Angolan highlands & floods every year, spreading the fingers of water through a desert wonderland, resulting in full herds of game & unique water & land-based game view. The Chobe National Park, home to 45,000 elephants are easily combined with Victoria Falls in Zambia & the Tuli Block in the South African border offers dramatic landscapes with great games. The Delta, which also includes areas such as Chief's Island & Moremi Game Reserve, only accessible by air. The main access point is a small town called Maun, daily from Johannesburg by Air Botswana. From light aircraft to take customers to the camps in the delta. It's popular to combine camps: Packages usually consist of two or three nights in a camp along with two or three nights in another camp, connected by short flight hops between the camps & in & out of Maun, or ends at Kasane, where's the main access point for Chobe & Victoria Falls.

Chobe, in the far north eastern corner, near a confluence where Botswana, Zambia, Namibia & Zimbabwe. This is very easily accessible by road from Livingstone & Victoria Falls (45 minute road transfer) is an ideal combination with the Victoria Falls. Chobe National Park is huge & home to 45,000 elephants. Many of the lodges are centred around the Chobe River, making them the boat trips & game drives in the reserve has to offer. The small town of Kasane is here with a local airport & is served by the same small charter hop in & out of Okavango Delta Maun this service. It's possible to choose a package starting in Maun then the camps in the Delta & drops off at Kasane Chobe & combining the waterfalls.

Other areas in Botswana include the Tuli Block, which is far south & borders South Africa & also Savute is between Chobe & the Delta.

We had already been to South Africa on an excellent escorted tour. We wanted to go to Victoria Falls afterwards and it wasn't until our consultant (Brian) recommended to check out Chobe and so impressed. We camped in the national park and we were quite scared to start with. We saw so much action at dusk and the highlight was seeing the lions in the dark stalking zebras... we also saw wild dogs which was just brilliant. The dead elephant wasn't so great but all part of nature and the eco system. oh yes, the elephants swimming to cross the river was another highlight, just their trunks above the water... do yourself a favour and do it. There also is a boat now that cruises that same river which I am sure well contact Travel Due South to arrange for another trip. Thanks for everything and sorry for rambling but memories flooding back! :-)
