Review about Botswana by Amit
Botswana is very developed in terms of facilities and wildlife viewing. They are very ecologically conservationists and have taken great care of their parks.
Elephants, predators and a beautiful river
Great wildlife can be viewed at Chobe. The highlight is the hundreds of elephants who don the landscape in huge herds. Also lots of predators including crocodile, lions, and the elusive leopard! we even spotted one in a tree as our guide parked the vehicle right under the tree. It was the most surreal moment of the safari. Some hairs do stand up on the back of your neck. The lodges there are right in the middle of it all blending in very well.

Review about Botswana by bianca
In my oppinion Botswana offers some of the best wildlife viewing and birdwatching in Africa, combined with friendly people, knowledgable guides and comfortable accommodation in various price classes.

A Chobe River Cruise - Ultimate Wildlife Experience
A boat cruise on the Chobe River, in the Chobe National Park, belongs to the ultimate wildlife experiences. There are few experiences that can compare with the thrill of seeing a herd of elephants playing in the water, or crossing the river and Chobe gives one the unique opportunity of seeing such wildlife spectacles from up close. The bird watching is simply awesome. From the iconic call of the Fish Eagle, to the stately walk of various stork species, the colourful, turquoise flash of Botswana's national bird, the lilac-breasted roller to the acrobatic antics of the Kingfishers, they are all set to delight and entertain you. It was a guide from Chobe National Park that taught me: We call the African Jacana Jesus Bird, because it can walk on water... This long toed bird actually walks over water lily leaves, but from a distance it really seems to walk on water. Chobe National Park ranks as one of my favourite wildlife destinations in Africa.
Review about Botswana by Di G.
Although we found Botswana beautiful, it did not have the typical majestic beauty many people assume is present throught Africa. There were no giant mountains or lakes, just simple unadulterated lovely wilderness.
A destination to view magnificent creatures with minimal interference from man.
My visit to Chobe National Park satisfied the wildlife viewing and photographic opportunities I have been yearning for. I began my stay with a jumper flight from Maun International Airport to the Orient Express Savute Elephant camp. My guide Rob drove us into a remote camp area with amazing views along the way. We spotted zebra, impala, and several species of birds on just the drive in. That evening and every morning and evening thereafter we had game drives to explore different areas of the park and spot game.
We were not disappointed, and although we went in what is typically considered the off season, we were deluged with a variety of amazing animals in the park. Elephant, leopards, lions, cape buffalo, kudu, zebra, giraffe, jackal, mongoose, warthog, ducks, herons, and eagles were just a few of the many animals we viewed.
Our accomodations were in a safari style canvas tent with en suite bathrooms and a beautiful wood deck overlooking the Savute Channel, which was flowing again for the first time in decades. The food was superb, and the service at our camp was truly better than we could have even dreamed. Our guide was an incredibly knowledgeabale young man who not only knew the basics of each animal but was able to go in depth about mating habits, juvenile coloring, pack habits and many many other things. Our daily excursions were tailored to our viewing interests- in our case, we wished to see predators especially! Every day was warm and we had almost no rain during our stay, but there was a high level of humidity.
Overall, Chobe was a once in a lifetime experience that did not disappoint.

Beautiful and quiet, and one of the best places in Africa to view wild dogs.
