Okavango Delta
This extensive
inland river delta is one of the most pleasurable sites on the continent
for safari. Travel is typically by small boats or even dugout canoe,
providing a level of tranquility that is difficult to attain in a
landrover. Okavango is home to elephant, zebra, giraffe, and other large
game species, but the park's true strength is in its abundance of birds,
plant life, and sheer poetic beauty. Hippos and crocodiles are quite
common in Okavango, as one might expect. The fishing is also excellent,
particularly in the northwestern section.
Moremi Wildlife Reserve
 Located in the northeastern portion of the
Okavango Delta, Moremi
combines the attractions of the delta with more solid terrain. The result
is an outstanding reserve that includes a wide variety of ecosystems and a
commensurate diversity of wildlife.
Chobe National Park.
Chobe is Botswana's best big game park. Located conveniently to
Victoria Falls,
it covers an area of over 4000 sq. miles (10,000 sq. km)
and is positively packed
with creatures. Chobe is especially well-known
for its immense elephant population (over 70,000), and it is not uncommon
to encounter herds in excess of a hundred. The park's north and northwest
border is marked by the Chobe River, and the river's popularity as a water
source has made game viewing by boat a particular attraction.
