Bots is a safe and unspoilt country, with lots to do and see and (at least in the low season) few people or tourists to be seen.

Botswana is probably more rugged than South Africa, and more tourist friendly than Zambia.

Outside of the Delta Botswana is a dry country of flat, bush-covered semi-arid terrain. We didn't travel the southern parts of the country that are pure desert, but I expect that the scenery there is equally stark. This kind of country has real beauty but can easily get monotonous because there is little variety.

Botswana is an excellent safari destination, there are easy safari's such as the one in Chobe where the roads are easily passable and the wildlife is plentiful. You can also do more challenging safaris such as the one in Makagadikgadi where there are fewer tourists and the roads are quite sandy. Botswana has a reputation for being expensive and whilst there are many luxury lodges, it is possible to do the holiday on a budget. Our biggest expenses were the flights and car hire.

We only visited the north and west but the contrast between Chobe and the Okavango was quite marked and the two really complemented one another.
Outstanding... words fail.

A vast range of habitats - we visited the Kalahari, Okavango Delta and Chobe all three were entirely different but captivating. Botswana is quieter and you feel more at one with nature as there aren't the hordes of vans viewing every Cheetah or Leopard you come across, you really are out in the country but feel totally safe, well fed and watered.

Botswana is unspoiled. The government has the wisdom to protect its species and its environment.

We saw a lot of wildlife in Botswana, not only during the game drive, also when we hit the roads, giraffes, zebras, kudus, springboks etc, we spotted lot of birds as well on the electricity poles and trees.
Nice weather in march and nice peoples. we will definitely visit Botswana again in the near future.
