Botswana enjoys an incredibly stable government and is a year round travel destination.

There are impressive wildlife concentrations in many areas of Northern Botswana. Chobe National Park has incredible elephant populations, with over 65,000 reported to be living in the area of the park. The Linyanti and Moremi areas are lush grasslands and bushvelds with lots of plains game and great numbers of predators including lion, cheetah, leopard, hyena and wild dogs.

We get consistent game reports like this:

"Excellent Leopard sightings again with 3 different Leopard during one game drive. There was one sighting with fantastic interaction with other species - whilst tracking a large male Leopard the vehicle bumped into female Lions hunting. The Leopard suddenly appeared and quickly avoided the Lions, only to bump into a Caracal that had caught and killed an African Wild Cat. The Caracal dropped the Cat to avoid the Leopard, and the Leopard then picked up the dead African Wild Cat, only to drop it again as it raced up a tree to avoid the Lions!"

"Wild Dogs at the den are doing well. They are relaxed despite a pride of Lions killing a Buffalo near the den."

"Pride of 19 Lions have killed another Hippo and have been feeding on it for several days now."

The Okavango Delta is the largest wetland delta in the world. The maze of papyrus-lined waterways is stunning with excellent birdlife, hippos, crocs and elephants.

We have seen similar events every time we are there. We recommend everyone go to Botswana at some point. Botswana has a very developed tourism infrastructure. Not only does Botswana know how to positively maintain its ecosystem, but the camps, lodges and guides are some of the finest in the industry.
