Botswana is a landlocked country located in Southern Africa. The country is well known for its vast wildlife reserves and national parks, making it a popular destination for safari enthusiasts. However, Botswana offers much more than just animal sightings – the natural beauty of the country is truly stunning.

The Central Kalahari Game Reserve is one of the largest game reserves in the world, and it's home to a wide variety of wildlife including lions, leopards, elephants, and antelopes. Another must-see destination is the Okavango Delta, a network of swamps, lagoons, and channels that spreads out over 1,500 square miles. The delta is teeming with birdlife and home to hippos, crocodiles, and elephants.

If you're looking for a bit of adventure, Botswana is the perfect destination. The country is home to some of the best white-water rafting in the world, and there are plenty of opportunities for hiking and camping in the stunning national parks. So if you're looking for an unforgettable African safari experience, be sure to add Botswana to your itinerary!
