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 of Botswana. If not, you will soon be able to figure it out with the help of our article and videos about Botswana. 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 landlocked, tourism plays an important role in its economy thanks to a number of national parks and game reserves with 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 geographical 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 into 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 pan complex in the world. Here is an extensive network of salt flats and ephemeral lakes.
Gaborone, which was chosen as the capital of Botswana due to its strategic location, introduces visitors to craft shops. The Main Mall, St. Claire Lion Park, and Khala Hill are good places to visit. St. Claire Lion Park, as its name implies, contains attractive lions within it. Also, here you can do a variety of outdoor activities due to its location in the middle of an open forest. There is a resident herd of baboons that live in Kgale and black eagles and leopards that can be seen, if you climb Kgale Hill. Gaborone Game Reserve is popular with bird watchers. Also, there you can see zebras, ostriches, wildebeests, 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 the Cape Vultures in the Manyelanong Game Reserve makes this place very essential. Vultures are often seen flying through the area and, when it is season, the chicks perch on the rocks.
Mashatu Game Reserve is the largest private game reserve in southern Africa and certainly one of the best places to visit in Botswana. It has the largest population of elephants on private land in the world. Gchwihaba (Drotsky) caves with its treasure legend is one of the wildest tourist destinations. The Nhabe Museum describes the natural history and culture of the Okavango region. Maun is known as the tourist capital of Botswana and a kind of gateway to the Okavango.
