Okavango Delta Exploration
Amongst the best things to do in Botswana is to explore the breathtaking Okavango Delta on a traditional canoe known as a “mokoro”. As you traverse what is called the “The Jewel of the Kalahari”, you have a chance to spot elephants, lions, leopards, wildebeest, crocodiles, hippos and all manner of birdlife too.
Adventures in the Desert
For a change of scenery, you can plan excursions to the awe-inspiring Kalahari Desert home to a seemingly unending sea of sand as well as fossil river valleys and even wildlife. Amongst the country’s desert-based attractions are the Central Kalahari Game Reserve and the Makgadikgadi Pan, one of the world’s largest salt flats.
