WELCOME TO BOTSWANA

Recent feedback from the Barber Party
Our experiences in Botswana will remain with us forever. We thoroughly enjoyed the diversity of the four different camps; felt totally spoilt and pampered by the service from the excellent staff and guides; gained more than a few pounds in weight with the fantastic food; and of course saw some of the most amazing game. As with all good things, the best was saved for the last, and on our final day we saw a pride of lions bring down, eat and kill (in that order !) an elephant. The whole thing is quite indescribable, but will stay with us forever.

INTRODUCTION

Botswana is a landlocked country located in Southern Africa. It has land borders with Zimbabwe in the northeast, South Africa in the south and southeast and with Namibia to the west.

The country is a broad tableland with a mean altitude of 3,300 ft. A vast plateau of about 4,000 ft in height, extending from near Kanye north to the Zimbabwean border, divides the country into two distinct topographical regions.

The eastern region is hilly bush country and grassland (veld). To the west lie the Okavango Swamps and the Kalahari Desert. The only sources of permanent surface water are the Chobe River in the north, the Limpopo in the east, and the Okavango in the northwest. In seasons of heavy rainfall, floodwaters flow into the Makarikari Salt Pans and Lake Ngami.
