Guide Insights

Botswana is a shining example of wildlife conservation and ecotourism which is reflected in its rich biodiversity. The Okavango Delta is a natural marvel on its own, add in the incredible species counts, conservation successes and how professional the safari operations are and you have one of the best safari experiences in Africa. The delayed floodwaters arriving from Angola just when the animals need them creates incredible sightings throughout the dry season. Having had many a ‘fireside chat’ with friends, guides, conservationists and film crews about different regions in Africa – Botswana is often settled on as the firm favourite.
