As well as knowing Botswana pretty well, Letaka Safaris have a few itineraries that venture into neighbouring Namibia as well as Zambia!
Botswana
Botswana is a land-locked country situated in southern Africa, and shares borders with South Africa, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Approximately two-thirds of Botswana lies within the Tropics and the country covers an area of 581 730 square kilometres – about the size of France or Kenya.
The capital is Gaborone, with its tourist hub of Maun being the gateway to the Okavango Delta.
Most of the country is flat, with some small hills in the eastern areas. Kalahari sands cover 84% of the surface area. With the exception of the northern areas, most of Botswana is without perennial surface water. Given the fore mentioned, Botswana has some amazing and diverse areas for all to explore and enjoy!
