Botswana Top Things To Do
• Go on a walking safari - not for the faint-hearted but an exhilarating experience. In the hands of an experienced guide, you'll see nature in close-up, and may, if you're lucky, get thrillingly close to wild animals.
• Climb on the back of an elephant for a safari trek to remember. As well as learning all about elephants, you may see zebras, giraffes, gazelles and other animals - with no distracting vehicle noise.
• Float along on a mokoro, a traditional Okavango Delta canoe, expertly poled by a local guide who stands in the stern. Originally made from hollowed-out wood, but now just as likely to be fibreglass, they offer an unforgettable perspective.
• Fly over the Kalahari Desert in a hot-air balloon, and experience the thrill of landing in an open floodplain.
• Experience some of the best sport fishing in Botswana, in the Okavango Delta and Chobe river systems. You can also fish near Shashe, Bokaa or Gaborone.
• Mountain bike through the bush of the Mashatu Game Reserve in the Tuli Block, stopping to watch passing elephants.
• Take off from Maun by helicopter or light aircraft to get a bird's eye view (and take some amazing photographs) of the Okavango.
• Experience Botswana's culture in Serowe, a village with historic royal cemetery; or visit Lobatse with its Livingstone Memorial and the Botswana High Court.
• Roar across the Makgadikgadi Plains on a quad bike, revelling in the wide-open vistas.
