Botswana – Totally adventurous!
Do you remember the story of Xi, a bushman from the Kalahari desert? In other words, have you seen the movie The Gods Must Be Crazy? If you have, you will also remember the fascinating scenes from Botswana. If not, you will soon be able to imagine yourself with the help of our Botswana article and videos. First of all, you should know that we are talking about adventure. In other words, there are too many places of wildlife habitat to see in Botswana.
Although Botswana is far from the sea and has no coastline, tourism plays an important role in its economy thanks to a number of national parks and game reserves with their abundant wildlife and wetlands. Botswana is dominated by the Kalahari Desert and the Okavango Delta, which is the largest inland delta in the world. Such an interesting geographic location makes Botswana a place to experience wildlife firsthand. Especially the months between April and November are the best time to visit because a large number of animals migrate towards the waterways of the Okavango Delta.
Botswana is famous for its wildlife and areas such as Chobe National Park, Moremi National Park in the Okavango Delta, and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. Makgadikgadi Pans National Park is another one of the best places to see there. The Makgadikgadi Pan is the largest salt complex in the world. Here is an extensive network of ephemeral salt flats and lakes.
Gaborone, which was chosen as the capital of Botswana due to its strategic location, presents visitors with handicraft shops. The Main Mall, St. Claire Lion Park, and Khala Hill are nice places to visit. St. Claire Lion Park, as it is known by name, contains attractive lions within it. Also, you can do a variety of outdoor activities here due to its location in an open forest. There is a resident troop of baboons living in Kgale and black eagles and leopards that can be spotted by climbing Kgale Hill. The Gaborone Game Reserve is popular with bird watchers. In addition, there you can see zebras, ostriches, wildebeest, impalas, elands, etc. Gaborone is home to the National Museum and Art Gallery where you can see a collection of traditional crafts and paintings by local and regional artists.
The protection of Cape Vultures in the Manyelanong Game Reserve makes this place very essential. Vultures can generally be seen flying around the area and when in season the chicks perch on the rocks.
Mashatu Game Reserve is the largest private reserve in South Africa and is undoubtedly among the best places to visit in Botswana. It has the largest population of elephants on private land in the world. The Gchwihaba (Drotsky) Caves with their treasure legend is one of the wildest tourist destinations. The Nhabe Museum describes the natural history and culture of the Okavango region. Maun is called as the tourist capital of Botswana and a kind of gateway to Okavango.
Botswana is a completely adventurous place for travelers. Wild life serves you with its reality. Make sure you have your armored guy with you and enjoy being around creatures you’ve met from books up to that point. We’ve talked about a few places, but there are more places to see and more adventures to experience in Botswana.
