Botswana is a rare gem. Due to the income derived from diamonds and beef exports, tourism comes third in line in the economy, a fact which has influenced the introduction of high-end camps, with low impact tourism.

In the north-east of the country is Chobe National Park. This area is famous for large elephant and buffalo herds which can be seen in huge numbers on the banks of the Chobe River during the dry season.

To the west, the waters of the Okavango Delta flow inland into the Kalahari sands, forming countless islands and reeded channels. This unique ecosystem allows visitors to experience a combination of big game viewing on the islands, and fantastic bird life, viewed from a dug-out canoe (mokoro).
