Botswana National Parks
Botswana is a country located in the southern part of the continent of Africa, and is known for beef and diamonds. But it is also becoming well-known as a wonderful holiday destination with plenty of fun activities or sights to see. Consider taking Botswana safaris on your next vacation.
Chobe National Park is located in the northern side of the country, with part of it lying on the border with Namibia. Visit this park any time of the year, keeping in mind that it can become very hot during October. But no matter when you choose to visit, you’ll see more wildlife here than in any other part of the country. One of the largest populations of elephants is located in this park, and there are plenty of hippos and Cape buffalo in the Chobe River. Dry season safaris will treat you to views of zebras, wildebeests, impalas and other herd animals. The wet seasons will bring out various species of ducks and storks, as well as other waterfowl.
The Moremi Game Reserve is located in the northwest section of the country and is well-known for its abundant and diverse plant and animal life. This beautiful reserve is home to elephants, giraffes, leopards, and cheetahs, as well as the Red Lechwe antelope. You might even hear the eerie laughing call of hyenas as you tour this beautiful landscape.
Botswana safaries into the Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park can give you the extra treat of camping in a wilderness area. Camp grounds are located several kilometers up the Nossob River and in other areas in the park. You’ll be able to hear the roar of the lion or leopard from your campsite and, as you travel through the park, you’ll see these animals as well. Wildebeest, springbok and gemsbok live here, too, and you’ll have plenty of opportunity to watch them and learn about this fabulous land.
With these and other parks and nature reserves established throughout the country, there is sure to be a place that you will find interesting and exciting on your holiday in Botswana.
