Botswana Wildlife Safaris
Botswana Safaris and Luxury Holidays...
Botswana Wildlife Safaris - Botswana is home to some m
agnificent wildlife viewing which primarily revolves around the savannah game of the traditional African plains. Your Botswana Safari however is different in that it is home to a plethora of wildlife in some extreme wildlife habitats from the arid salt pans of the south to the wetland "swamps" of the Okavango Delta and Moremi Reserve and the luscious flood plains of the Chobe River and the huge herds of Chobe National Park. These areas provide unique ecosystems to some dramatic wildlife sightings.
Botswana's mammals are typical of what you would expect to see on the savannah plains of a number of African countries however it is the sheer number and frequency that you come across sightings that is extraordinary. Healthy prides of lions patrol their territories, leopards lounge in trees waiting for their unsuspecting prey to wander by, hyenas scavenge viciously, elephants congregate in vast herds and antelope graze the verdant grasses of the Okavango Delta providing for a thrilling Botswana wildlife safari.
A variety of different areas can be recommended for your Botswana safari depending o
n what you wish to see and when you want to travel, whether it is a Botswana honeymoon safari, family safari, small group safari or Botswana private luxury safari. Wildlife sightings get better and more frequent as the dry season progresses as you move from June through to the hotter months of October; the reason for the increase in sightings is due to the wildlife converging on areas with a consistent water supply and therefore being slightly easier to predict. As these herds of herbivores converge on disappearing waterways, predators follow, making for exciting times as travellers watch the brutality of Africa unfold before their eyes...
For those that wish to get up close and personal with the wildlife of Africa there is also the unique opportunity to spend the morning with the 3 elephants of the Grey Matters Project. Run by Doug and SandiGroves, this not for proft organisation commenced in 1999 and aims to educate people, whether tourists or local, about the relationship between elephants and the surrounding environment. Throughout the morning you are able to touch and feel the elephants skin, walk alongside their huge bulks and sit in the bush having lunch as they graze through their dinner in the background...This is a highlight of ones Botswana safari combining both an educational and adrenalin filled experience!
