Botswana

How big is Botswana?

Botswana, with lots of wide-open spaces and wildlife to fill them, is one of Africa's best examples of where the adventuresome safari spirit still survives. Travelers on safari in Botswana will see an amazing range of animals in the wild: lazing in the waters of the Okavango Delta (Moremi Game Reserve), grazing on the grasslands of Chobe National Park and tracking the arid salt pans of the Kalaharai Desert.

Botswana is passionate about conservation, and its legendary big game goes hand-in-hand wiht its admirable conservation record. Once a hunting mecca for the so-called Great White Hunters (i.e. Ernest Hemingway), shooting now is with cameras, not rifles. The government effectively banned all commerical hunting on nonprivately owned land in 2014.
