Botswana, from Chobe River to the Okavango Delta and the Kalahari Desert, this safari provides a comprehensive look at one of Africa’s most blessed countries.
We have been regular visitors to Africa for almost 20 years yet this was our first trip to Botswana. It is a wonderful country and this safari revealed its many ‘faces’. We thoroughly enjoyed the pampering comforts of the camp and looked forward to discovering each of the lodges.
