The Chobe Game Reserve, Botswana...
2010-09-28 11:21:00
Chobe National Park The Chobe National Park, which is the second largest national park in Botswana and covers 10,566 square kilometres, has one of the greatest concentrations of game found on the African continent. Its uniqueness in the abundance of wildlife and the true African nature of the region, offers a safari experience of a lifetime. The park is divided into four distinctly different eco systems: Serondela with its lush plains and dense forests in the Chobe River area in the extreme north-east; the Savuti Marsh in the west about fifty kilometres north of Mababe gate; the Linyanti Swamps in the north-west and the hot dry hinterland in between. Four-wheel drive vehicles are essential, especially if the intention is to travel extensively into the park - deep sand in some areas tests the skill of the driver and the capabilities of the vehicle. However, most rewarding game viewing awaits. The original inhabitants of what is now the park were t...

During the World Cup in South Africa I met the Sabah family by accident, late one night after the Uruguay match in Rustenburg.

Today Gaborone is a bustling modern city, and the seat of power for one of Africa's most successful economies.

Choose your Safari Style We have been noticing that advertised Safaris to Botswana has become very expensive for most people and we would like to introduce a new Safari options system. With this new system you can choose you budget and then we will package the safari to fit within your budget and while you will still be able to visit all the best Wilderness regions on your Safari to Botswana.The biggest price variation for Safaris to Botswana is the type and style of accommodation used and closely following this is the season of travel.
