Top 10 reasons to visit Botswana – A popular tourist destination in Africa

Botswana is a beautiful landlocked country in Africa that has developed over the last fifty years and is now a popular tourist destination that attracts people from around the world.

1

Not a crowded destination

Botswana is on the rise for popularity and currently not a very popular location for travellers. If you love nature and enjoying it in all its glory then Botswana is the place for you as there are very few people and a large number of wild animals.

2

Water Game-viewing in Okavango Delta

While inland safaris are popular across Africa, water game viewing is common only in Botswana so you get to witness crocodiles, elephants, and other animals that come towards the water holes and enjoy some cool water on their skin. While staying in a luxurious hotel such as Avani Gaborone Resort & Casino is exciting and calming the experience you will gain when you are silently watching animals in their natural habitat has a different pleasure to it.

Elephant Spotting

Botswana is the country that has the most number of elephants and there are so many different safaris, game watching experiences, and other options you can select from in order to witness these gentle giants.

4

Canoeing on Selinda Spillway

The pictures you will be able to take on your canoeing trip down Selinda Spillway will surely become engraved in your memory. You can decide to go in the early morning hours when the sun is rising or towards the evening when the sun is setting.

5

Quad biking on Makgadikgadi Salt Pans

Unlike most of the wildlife activities, the quad bike experience is different and exciting as you get to explore the desert and sand dunes and chase the setting sun. Most hotels in Gaborone Botswana can provide further details if you wish to enjoy this thrilling activity.

6

Mobile Camping

Mobile Camping is not unique to Botswana but the experience is as you will not get to see such a wide range of animals roaming freely in any other country when you stay the night at a national park.

7

Adventure Safaris in the wild

Similar to most African countries Botswana has many activities that include watching and exploring wildlife. There are national parks and private parks where you can go and watch the animals live their life in the natural habitat. In most locations animals are used to having an audience but it is always important to be respectful of the animals and give them space.

8

The stunning Kalahari Dessert

This dessert does not need much introduction as it is known to be one of the most stunning locations from South Africa and when you witness it yourself you understand why it is known accordingly.

9

The large big cat population

Apart from the biggest elephant population, Botswana is also home to a large number of big cats in a variety of differences. When you are game-watching big cats are one of the most popular species you will get to witness. If you are fortunate you will get to see lionesses walking with the cubs which is a moment you will remember forever.

10

The mysterious Lake Ngami

The Lake Ngami was discovered in 1849 but then disappeared a little after its discovery. This pattern has been continuing ever since and the beauty of it is that during the time the lake comes to life the area is filled with migratory birds both big and small.
