Complete Botswana: National Parks & Delta Wildlife
- Trip code: 4B5X009
- Dauer: 7
- Stil: Classic
Get ready for a wild week in Botswana, where the wildlife steals the show. Cruise through Chobe National Park, spotting hippos and elephants cooling off in the river, then wander the white sands of Nata, where flamingos and native bird species put on a dazzling display. Safari drives here are next level — wildebeest and antelope roam the savannas, while the sprawling Okavango Delta teems with lions, leopards, zebras, and massive herds of elephants. So, grab your binoculars, charge your camera, and prepare for front-row seats to some of nature’s most jaw-dropping moments.
