Botswana

The sparsely populated landlocked southern African country of Botswana is a magical land where the animals rule the roost. With plains inhabited by buffalo, antelopes, wildebeest, zebras and elephants, Botswana’s incredible selection of wildlife makes it the ideal destination for a safari holiday. And with a diverse range of landscapes, from the dry Kalahari Desert to verdant grasslands and lush forests, Botswana’s flora matches its fauna in delivering the wow factor.
