Immortalised in numerous wildlife documentaries, Botswana offers some of the world's finest game viewing. In the midst of parched desert and semi-arid lands lies the Okavango Delta, a verdant oasis of sparkling waterways and clear lagoons that teem with life. Although much of Botswana is wilderness, it boasts some of the world's top safari lodges, so you can see the wildlife moving around unrestricted without compromising on comfort or service. As a result, it almost certainly won't be cheap, but can nevertheless be good value. A visit to Botswana will be the trip of a lifetime, but be warned - one visit is rarely enough!
