Product Description
Botswana's Okavango Delta is a wetland paradise and a top destination in Africa for wildlife enthusiasts who will delight in the thorough coverage of this new Bradt guide. The Okavango's unique ecosystem provides a habitat for a multitude of birdlife and plants and its swampland is patrolled by hippos and crocodiles. The lure of Chobe National Park as a prime conservation area, the Linyanti Swamp, central Kalahari Game Reserve, and Tsodilo Hills with their wealth of bushman, rock art, are also covered in depth, supplying visitors with a wide range of very accessible attractions and a background to the culture and people of the region. Botswana is an ideal guide for visitors heading for lodges and safari camps, either as overlanders exploring the wilderness Botswana or those on tailor-made tours and fly-drive trips. The author recognizes the bewildering choice facing the visitor planning a trip to this major safari destination and provides independent guidance on travel options.

This guide provides as excellant overview to Botswana's history, cluture, and travel options. The descriptions of the private game concessions were very helpful in planning my trip.


5 out of 5 stars The most complete guide to northern Botswana to date!   July 14, 2003
 52 out of 52 found this review helpful

I've been waiting for this book for a long time!! None of the other guides on the area even comes close. It is the most detailed guide I've read on the Okavango, Chobe, Makgadikgadi, and the northern Kalahari. In my view the information seems to be very up-to-date (which is not true for Bradts second edition on Namibia!). This book is suitable for people going on an organized safari (I envy them their $'s and the luxury that awaits them :-) ), and those planning an independent self-drive. The maps are good, and a number of useful GPS coordinates are included. The descriptions of off some of the beaten track sites that I have visited are very accurate. If you are a self-drive tourist you might want to look at Mike Mains: "African Adventurer's Guide to Botswana". It has many trails that are more detailed in the same region, but lacks the overview given in this guide describing the many concession areas surrounding the Okavango. The book also includes a very useful section on Livingstone in Zambia, telling you how to get the most out of your visit to the famed Victoria Falls. What do I miss? Talking to Elein Drotsky, she mentioned that here sisters company could arrange boat trips from Shakawe to Maun, water levels permitting. There is no mention of this or any other such service in the book, guess I'll have to do some digging on that one myself. All in all, your $'s, 's, 's or Rand's will be well spent on this guide.
