otswana is renowned for its array of wildlife and contrasting landscapes that result in incredible biodiversity. Botswana may be Bbest known for its legendary inland Okavango Delta, but the country also boasts two of Africa’s finest game reserves:Moremi , renowned for its huge herds of elephant, buffalo, giraffe and antelope; and Chobe, further north, thought to have the highest concentration of elephants in the world. The Linyanti Region, as does the unique Savuti channel, lies within Chobe and in the dry season, hosts an enormous concentration of game. Bushman artwork is marvellously preserved in the Makagadikgadi Salt Pans of the Kalahari in the southern part of Botswana, and this region offers a very different and complementary experience to the Okavango Delta.
