Top 10 Highlights

The vertical Migration

One of Botswana's remarkable features is the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, shared with South Africa, where the largest migration of zebras occurs. Unlike other migrations, these zebras undertake an intriguing journey known as a "vertical migration," traveling from the arid desert of the Kalahari to the lush grasslands of the Okavango Delta, showcasing their remarkable adaptability to diverse ecosystems within a single country.

Botswana is home to the largest population of elephants in Africa, with an estimated 130,000 individuals roaming freely across its vast wilderness areas. This makes it an exceptional destination for elephant encounters, offering unique opportunities for responsible and ethical wildlife viewing, including guided safaris, elephant-back rides (in some carefully managed reserves), and conservation-focused experiences aimed at protecting these majestic creatures for future generations.
