Our Botswana Specialist
Mandy
, our country specialist, first set foot in Botswana in the early nineties when she fell in love with its sheer wildness and beauty. Her most treasured memories are of embarking on a boat trip from Shakawe, the Panhandle of the Okavango Delta; watching African Skimmers in the pristine waterways of the Delta; hosting a wildlife artist on a remote island in the Mombo concession and seeing brown hyena and black-maned lions in Deception Valley. Mandy's most recent trip to Botswana took her to the Makgadikgadi Pans which she described as the most exhilirating and spectacular experience to date.

More About Botswana Holidays
Botswana it is a country of contrasts with its striking salt pans, diamond-rich deserts and fertile flood plains. The landscapes are untamed, dramatic and quite exceptional.

The Okavango Delta is the largest inland delta in the world and is the jewel in Botswana's crown. Water flows down the great Kalahari river creating a paradise of islands, swamps and lagoons, which provide perfect watering holes for wild birds, giraffes and zebras. In stark contrast the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans are a vast scorched lake, relieved only by the occasional palm tree and huge baobabs.

Visit the vast ecosystem of the Northern Tuli Game Reserve, it has the most spectacular scenery, or see the largest African elephant herds in the Chobe National Park on a Botswana safari holiday.
