Botswana has an abundance of wildlife and natural resources that are as diverse as the extremely dry and arid Kalahari Desert and the massive wetland of Okavango Delta.

17% of land has been set aside for national parks and game reserves while a further 21% surrounding these areas has been designated for wildlife management.

These unique and diverse eco-systems combine to offer an opportunity to experience the vastness and the splendour of this unspoilt land.
