Whether by
4WD, in a canoe, on foot, or on the back of an elephant, a safari
experience in Botswana provides the traveler with the almost overwhelming
sensation of being extraordinarily connected with nature. A stay
at any of these luxurious resorts/safari camps transports the
traveler into the exquisite beauty of one of the world's largest
inland deltas - the Okavango, the unimaginable vastness of the
Central Kalahari Game reserve, the tranquil and largely uninhabited
Makgadikgadi saltpans, or the astonishingly prolific wildlife
of the Chobe National Park.
And though
each of these award-winning properties has their own unique style
and ambience, they all have one thing in common -- the consistent
ability to provide the discerning traveler with the ultimate experience
in warmth, hospitality and splendor.
