Botswana.
"Botswana is the place in Africa where I spent the most time - the Okavango Delta in northern Botswana is basically my "home in the wilderness".
In my opinion, there are few places as breathtaking and wild – Botswana is as perfect as it gets when it comes to going on safari!"
- Ben Mirgel
Botswana is "the jewel" of the safari industry. No other country is as wild and at the same time offers such an excellent level of service that is unparalleled anywhere else in the world.
Over 40% of Botswana's land area consists of game reserves and national parks. Many highly endangered species find a last safe haven in Botswana.
Botswana is also home to the world famous Okavango Delta. The Okavango Delta is one of the largest inland deltas on the planet and during the flood season it creates an oasis in the Kalahari Desert approximately 16.000 square kilometers large. Botswana also has the highest elephant population density in the world with over 130,000 animals living in the country...so if you want to get up close and personal with the gray giants, this is the place to be!
Other highlights of Botswana include the famous "Makgadikgadi Salt Pans", the "Central Kalahari Game Reserve" and the "Tuli Block".
If you want to experience the luxury and the untouched wilderness of Botswana, you may have to invest a little bit more, but you can look forward to almost family-like exclusivity, small lodges, a high density of animals and the breathtaking beauty of Botswana.
