the Botswana government took a visionary decision to grant conservation rights to some 45% of the country’s landmass. They became guardians of some of the most pristine wilderness on the African continent, including the fabled Okavango Delta. The country literally teems with wildlife and the contrast between the waterlogged landscapes of the Okavango and the vast, arid Kalahari region is quite staggering. Botswana is low footprint, low volume, safari tourism at its finest.
