Tour Plan
Botswana Best of Safari Adventure – 8 Days
Embark on an 8-day journey through Botswana’s wild heart. Explore the Okavango Delta, Moremi, and Chobe regions with thrilling game drives, mokoro rides, and boat safaris. Encounter elephants, lions, and other iconic wildlife while experiencing the diverse landscapes and unique wilderness of southern Africa.
Explore the valleys of the Kalahari
The expansive scrublands of the semi-arid Kalahari Desert extend some 900,000km² across Namibia, South Africa, and a large portion of Botswana. It forms part of the larger Kalahari Basin that - including the desert - also supports various wetlands such as the Makgadikgadi Pans and Okavango Delta of Botswana. Although the Kalahari Desert cannot be correctly classified as a desert because of the amount of rainfall it receives annually (somewhere between 12-25 centimetres), the parched earth greedily absorbs any moisture that remains after the wet season. The desert’s rust-coloured valleys of sand dunes, peppered with scrubland in some parts, are considered the largest continuous expanse of sand on the globe.
Highlights
- The Kalahari Desert extends some 900,000km² across Namibia, South Africa, and most of Botswana.
- It forms part of the much wider Kalahari Basin which is home to a variety of thriving wetlands
- The Kalahari Desert has the largest continuous expanse of sand in the world
