Botswana is an excellent safari destination with sufficient tourism infrastructure.
We loved the country and the landscape, the people were very friendly and we enjoyed the whole experience. There was a wide range of wildlife to see and in large numbers. I was also surprised by the changes in landscape from dry bush and scrub to the lush delta, in what is a relatively small distance.
Friendly people, very safe, and of course amazing scenery and endless amounts of wildlife.

We were only there for a day, but Botswana is a lovely contrast to Zimbabwe. Border control was efficient, infrastructure was good, and local residents did not seem to have the air of hopelessness that was present among many in Zimbabwe thanks to its economic difficulties.

Overall had an amazing experience with wildlife on the one full day of safari in Botswana
The colors, the sounds, the wildness, the smells, the intense intellectual challenge of learning as much as possible about all that was around me. It was a world apart from everyday life, and thus, a perfect place for an adventure.

Botswana is a great safari destination because of the diversity of landscapes (desert, river, delta...), the abundant wildlife, the pristine areas but above all, because of the country's conservation efforts.

We found Botswana an excellent country to visit as an independent traveller. We entered at Ngoma border crossing in the north. The custom staff were friendly and there was no visa charge, unlike Namibia and Zimbabwe. It was then possible to drive through Chobe National Park on the tarred road to Kasane and incorporate some game viewing on the way. We saw Elephant and Southern Ground Hornbills easily from this road. Roads generally in Botswana are excellent, with the main routes now tarred. It is possible to drive long distances, as a result. We travelled from Kasane to Francistown; Francistown to Gabarone and Gabarone to Kimberley in South Africa, in day trips with relative ease in a small two wheeled drive car. Four wheeled drive may be necessary, if you were intending to go to other game parks, particularly those of a sandy nature ( e.g. Kgalagadi and the Kalahari). This would be costly in car hire and petrol. It would probably be cheaper to fly to Maun, say from Johannesburg, and organise car hire from there.
