Okavango Delta
The Okavango Delta in northwest Botswana is unique.
The annual flood of fresh water that gathers here from
Angola's western highlands slowly spreads for more than
5,800 square miles (15,000 sq km) over the Kalahari desert
forming a maze of lagoons and channels. The thousands
of islands that arise sustain several diverse ecosystems,
which are home to vast numbers of game and a myriad of
birds, while the champagne-coloured waters support a varied
array of aquatic life. |

Gaborone
Gaborone, the capital city of Botswana, may not be big
on tourist attractions but it is a vibrant, if small,
sprawling modern city that provides several international
hotels (two with casinos) and all the souvenir shops,
restaurants and services that visitors, drawn to the country
for the abundant wildlife, will need. There are also a
few sights to see and excursions to enjoy for those who
only have a day or two in which to experience the country. |
