The lush vegetation and impressive wildlife make the Okavango Delta a paradise for nature lovers.
On your round trip through Botswana, you should also visit Chobe National Park, which is known for its large herds of elephants.

The reserve offers a mix of mopane forests, acacia forests, and open grasslands that are home to rich and diverse wildlife.
Botswana is also known for the fascinating salt pans of the Makgadikgadi and Nxai Pans. These huge white plains offer a unique and almost surreal landscape. During the rainy season, the pans turn into shallow lakes, which attract a wide variety of bird species, including flamingos and pelicans. The endless expanses and clear air make this region a perfect place for stargazing.
For cultural experiences, visit the traditional San villages, also known as Bushmen. This indigenous ethnic group has a deep connection to nature and impresses with their knowledge of the flora and fauna of the Kalahari Desert.
