Wildlife You Can Expect to See in Botswana

A landlocked country in Southern Africa surrounded by Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia, Botswana offers some of the most spectacular wildlife viewing opportunities in the world.

With its vast, sparsely populated wilderness areas, Botswana is an incredible place to see wildlife in their natural habitats, and is home to a number of unique and diverse ecosystems, each with its own set of species.

From the Okavango Delta, with elephants, lions, hippos, crocodiles, and over 500 species of birds, to Chobe National Park, which is one of the largest national parks in Africa and is famous for its large elephant population, Botswana is a fantastic safari option.

And the country has taken great strides in conserving its natural resources; Botswana has a low human population density, and the government has implemented policies that prioritize conservation over exploitation. As a result, the wildlife you see is protected and preserved for future generations.
