Botswana will offer you a wildlife safari away from the crowds. A combination of camping in the Okavango Delta on one of the islands as well as on the fringes of the delta will afford you the encounter with spectacular herds of plains game followed by carnivores like Lion, Cheetah and Leopard with even Wild Dogs in some areas. The Chobe / Linyanti area has some of the largest Elephant concentrations in Africa. Places of Interest:Moremi Game Reserve:
The Moremi Game Reserve covers much of the central Okavango and includes Chief's Island. Moremi is one of the oldest reserves in Botswana and the animals around the reserve are very much used to vehicles. This is big game country. Large numbers of Elephant, Buffalo, as well as the plains game followed by Lions and Leopards are to be seen. The area is also famous for the African Wild Dog which is rare in other regions. Here the main activities at the camps focus on game drives in open 4x4 vehicles with some camps also offering water activities, bush walks and night drives. The private concessions bordering the Moremi Game Reserves are less restricted in activities than the camps situated inside the Moremi Game Reserve. Savuti Channel:
The Savuti Channel has its own atmosphere and borders Chobe National Park to the east and the Okavango Delta to the west and is one of Africa's prime big game areas. Famous for its Lion and spotted Hyena population it is not far from the Linyanti which together with the upper Savuti Region offers an exceptional big game safari experience with all the activities including open safari vehicle drives, bush walks and even canoeing / boating.
The area is a private game reserve with only a small influx of tourists thus ranking high on Africa's best safari destinations not to be missed where big herds of Zebra, Wildebeest, Buffalo and Elephant can be encountered. When the rains have stopped end of February, early March you stand a chance of seeing large herds of Zebras and Wildebeest following the migration route from the Savuti to the Linyanti area. |
