Botswana is a vast land, highly prized
for its safaris and game; elephant herds in their thousands roam
the plains and gigantic concentrations of game migrate across the
Kalahari and the Okavango Delta, following routes embedded in their
genes.
This is Africa at its most riveting;
untouched and unspoilt, home to some of Africa's most diverse
wildlife and stunning scenery - rugged and entirely beautiful.
