When thinking of Africa, the first image that usually comes to mind would be the open expanses of nature, pin pricked by exotic wildlife and majestic flora. From the dry Kalahari Desert to the expansive wetlands of the Okavango Delta, Botswana contains all the beauty of Africa you could imagine. While being one of the most prosperous nations in Africa, Botswana has managed to expertly protect its wildlife, nature, and diverse culture. With more than 70% of the country’s entire landmass committed to nature parks and reserves, traveling about anywhere makes it seem like you are in a National Geographic nature documentary.
After opening up from the pandemic, the country has once again seen an influx of tourism from around the world. Perhaps foremost among these is the world’s 1000th UNESCO heritage site, the Okavango Delta. Boasting over 400 different bird species it is not uncommon to spot over 140 species on any given day. When the Delta receives its water in the summer from the highlands of Angola, thousands of animals migrate from the Kalahari in the south, forming the biggest herds ever recorded. In season, it suddenly bursts alive with magnificent fauna and flora, considering it is the largest inland delta in the world – making for a magnificent trip and unforgettable Botswana luxury safari holidays.
Tours are often organized to cover the expanse of the country, going from the Delta to the Kalahari. The Kalahari has in its own right many wonders, strikingly different from those of the Delta. While the Delta hosts many aquatic and exotic animals from the wetlands such as Buffalo, And nyala and birds such as the African Fish Eagle – The Kalahari boasts remarkable creatures such as Lions, Elephants, Leopards, and many more. Not only the living aspects of the Kalahari are striking, but also the landscape. You might have heard of the beautiful Kalahari sunsets, with brilliant colors of orange and red descending over the desert every night.
Kalahari Safaris is, of course, situated in the heart of the Kalahari where you could take exciting Safaris with local guides, spot the wildlife, and even take a trip to the Delta if you please. Luxury lodges in botswana with Kalahari Safaris will make you feel like you have returned to a home you never knew as you connect with the stunning nature and immersive culture of this great country. When you arrive, you could do all of this and more, while looking at the iconic Kalahari sunset from your campfire every night.
