African Alternatives - Botswana Travel Background - Imagine this: In the north the magnificent Okavango waterway, with its green and fertile plains, flows straight into a sea of sand, the Kalahari Desert, and vanishes. There is a lot of interesting information about the parks and natural history of Botswana at this site. You'll learn about animals and safaris and the national park system in that country.
Botswana - Botswana's Kalahari desert is home to one of the Africa's most unique cultures, the resourceful bushmen who have lived there for thousands of years. More of a plain than a desert, the Kalahari is an optimum safari region. Botswana is one of the few remaining destinations in Africa that still provides a good sense of the adventure of safari. Its expansive game parks and preserves, while offering wildlife as diverse and abundant as that found anywhere else, are still largely undeveloped and untamed.
