We left a piece of our hearts in Botswana. The people are simply wonderful. The landscape is magical. Communication is very easy and the lodges we visited were outstanding. We love Botswana so much that we talk about dropping everything and moving there almost daily.

Botswana has a heavy emphasis on conservation and very experienced and helpful guides.

Botswana is a birding paradise, you can visit the bushmen of the kalahari desert, it is an incredibly beautiful country and the wildlife is gorgeous. If you love hippos, Botswana is the place to be.

The game reserves are not developed and there are no tar roads in the parks. The camps are unfenced and lions, baboons, hyenas, ratels and others visit at night. Ablutions are not five star. There are always places you can find to park and chill all on your own. Finding a spot on the river and watching the sun set over the Chobe river while enjoying a beverage cannot be beaten.

Botswana was a great experience for me, besides of Chobe, Okavango Delta is also amazing. A lot of nature and wildlife to see. And as this is not a main destination for tourists, it makes the tour much better, because it is only you and the nature. So good!

Botswana has it all. Excellent wildlife, wonderful people, and the ability to get away from hectic life.

After safaris at various locations in Botswana, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe, I put Botswana at the top of the list for multiple reasons. The concessions are better-managed, the variety of animals is better, the lodges are generally more consistently nice, and even the government employees are nicer. The Botswana government and concession owners are also more committed to protecting the wildlife in Botswana than other countries in Africa. It's an amazing place that is unlike anywhere else on Earth.

You'll have to search far to experience African Wildlife and the African Bush better than in Botswana. It has endless scenic beauty wherever you go, the wildlife is absolutely amazing and the bird life will not let you down either.

Botswana has a very stable government and wildlife abundance that rivals east African countries. The Okavango Delta is just the beginning!

Botswana is a very friendly place. The government is stable and doesn't tolerate corruption. There are many locals who have small safari services and some larger safari companies, too. There are good choices and the prices are fair. The country has so much to offer - the wetlands of the Okavango Delta, the salt pans of Nxai Pan National Park, the bushveld of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. I'd go back to Botswana in a heartbeat! But if you go in their summer, be prepared for blistering heat!
