Overlanding from Cape Town (South Africa), through Namibia, Botswana, and finish in Vic Falls (Zimbabwe). Make my way back to Maun (Botswana) to do an Earthwatch program with Nile crocodiles. Make my way back to Cape Town. Go up the coast to Hermanus if I have time.

Botswana! more donkeys than people. hello guys just a really quick one i will update properly in vic falls. i'm in kasane now, not maun but i was in maun this morning. went to the delta was really awesome will tell u about it later. but just letting u know all is good, nearing the end of my tour which will be bitter sweet because i have met some really cool people on it. but i'll still have half my trip to go (i'm going back to the delta to work with crocs which should be equally cool). anyway sorry theres not much i can say in a few mins. phone reception is on and off. game driving tomorrow and river cruising then on to vic falls for lion walking and stuff. ok will tell u more in a few days, ciao!

Botswana is certainly a good spot for watching wildlife. But, as with most places it depends on what time of year you go, and what kind of luck you have. If you're trying to decide where in Africa to go on safari, most people seem to toss up between Botswana, South Africa and Kenya/Tanzania. I've been told that Botswana is a more environmental experience than East Africa, but obviously in East Africa you get the open savannahs of the Masai Mara and the Serengeti, and of course, if you go at the right time of year, you get to see the great wildebeest migration, so... it's a tough one. I loved Botswana: I saw a leopard in Chobe and lots of elephants, and the Okavango was a unique experience. It's a river that eventually becomes an inland delta where you can see wildlife on foot or even on a plane. On the other hand... I've also been told that going to Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania is like stepping into a scene from Lion King, which sounds pretty incredible. In the end it's really your call... just don't expect to be blown away immediately by Botswana, it kind of hits you slowly, and the more time you spend there, the more you will come to appreciate it.

Hi,

I live in the U.S. and am interested in going on a safari. I understand Botswana is a good place for this. Do you have any advice?

Thanks,

Nick
