Botswana is a really truly remote destination with an amazing diverse wildlife !
A land of rich grassland, varied wildlife and clear water but dusty houses.
I spent 5 days staying in the Okavango swamps and two days in Chobe. The Okavango swamps are more about relaxation, birds and river animals such as hippos and crocodiles. What land animals are about are hidden by the thick hedge of reeds that line the Okavango delta. We were entertained by a day's excursion into the swamps by being punted around in the local mekoros (dugout) and then led through the bush by a knowledgeable guide who taught us about the health or nutritional properties of the vegetation as well as visiting the giant Baobab tree. Afterwards we took a long refreshing dip in the clear waters of the Kavango.
From the lush vegetation of the Okavango, we drove south east into drier scrubland and were disappointed at seeing our next campsite in Chobe, a barren dustbowl with the basic of amenities. But we were rewarded later that day by a spectacular safari on riverboats as we got really close up to wildebeest, large herds of elephants, cape buffalo and a myriad of birds, all while sipping gin and tonics.
We saw a huge variety of wildlife while camping in well kept campgrounds.

I would visit South Luangwa Park in Zambia before returning back to Chobe because it is so much more rural and bush, but Chobe was beautiful
Simply, Africa at its best
Plenty of water and animals of all kind... there is a surprise in every corner and you never know when you'll find an elephant in just a few meters from you!

We saw elephants crossing the road while being in the bus on a random highway, the Kalahari and of course Okavanga are great, and then there's Chobe; enough to see and do!

I've been also to South Africa and Kenya and there's no story.
Everything here is 100% authentic. Animals look wild like neverwhere.

We enjoyed Botswana quite a bit during our stay and would recommend it based off of our experience.
