• See scores of grass-lurking animals: antelopes at the Gaborone Game Reserve, the Mokolodi Nature Reserve and the Okavango Delta; zebras within the sands of the Makgadikgadi Pans and Okavango Delta; and giraffes in the Okavango Delta and Khutse Game Reserve.
• Cautiously watch lions laze (in Moremi and Khutse Game Reserve) and leopards stalk (in the Khutse Game Reserve).
• Steer clear of charging buffalo in Moremi Game Reserve and Chobe National Park; the rare brown hyena in Khutse Game Reserve and the Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park; and all of Botswana's rhino collection, gathered to protect them from poachers, at the Khama Rhino Sanctuary in Serowe.
• Marvel at hippos along the Chobe River, in the Moremi Game Reserve and in the Okavango Delta - be wary of crocodiles here too. The sands of the Makgadikgadi Pans herald the must-see sight of thousands of brilliant pink flamingos.
• Watch baboons playing in scattered rocky kopjes in the Savuti area, which marks the northern shore of what was once the giant superlake that covered most of Botswana.
• Espy Bushmen, one of the last Stone Age races on earth, said to have populated these parts for roughly 20,000 years. The Tsodilo Hills are considered to be a sacred site by the Bushmen; known to have been inhabited for at least 100,000 years, they have been decorated with thousands of rock paintings.
• Venture into the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, remote and virtually unexplored, specifically set up as a refuge both for animals and the country's few remaining Bushmen.
• Gaze at the pot pourri of rocks, millions of years old, that make up the incredible scenery of the Tuli Block. It has a patchwork of private game ranches and Nxai Pan National Park, with ruggedly beautiful countryside and giant, shallow salt lakes.
• See the greatest inland delta system in the world in the Kgalagadi (or Kalahari) Desert, an extremely beautiful region composed of vast grass flats, low tree-covered ridges and a widespread network of narrow waterways opening into lagoons.
• See the first of a number of 'peace parks' planned to cross national boundaries and re-open ancient animal migration routes, at the Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park, which straddles the border with South Africa.
