Well developed but still authentic bush.

Great wildlife and bush experience but expensive and not as diverse as neighboring countries.

Fully recommended especially for the better situated tourists, less for "backpackers" may be. Ample opportunity for watching and photographing, adventurous and much variation.

Botswana is expensive but you see game.

We were unable to see many cats during our visit. The meerkats in Makgadikgadi brought the best out in all of us. We were also lucky enough to see an African Lynx while we were there. We prefer private drivers and moving from camp to camp with different guides was not as special as East Africa. Drivers seemed to give the same schpiel.

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

I only visited Chobe National Park while in Botswana, hence the same rating as above.
I was a bit frustrated by the National Park rules on off roading and night drives.Using private concessions would get over this but they seem phenomenally expensive.
