Botswana Tourist Guide From Discount Hotels

Botswana is the premier vacation destination for those who want to experience a sightseeing safari. The Delta Region has impressive lagoons where can see the main forms of wildlife in the country - giraffes, elephants and exotic animals roaming freely. In fact, about 40% of the country has been designated as parkland or reserve to help protect the wildlife. Each of the parks features one or two groups of wildlife. For example, you can see antelopes at the Gaborone Game Reserve, the Mokolodi Nature Reserve and the Okavango Delta. You will see rhinos at the Khama Rhino Sanctuary located in Serowe.

There are many lodges, hotels and campgrounds in Botswana offering accommodation to suit every budget. All accommodation must meet a grading standard set down by the government and be inspected so you know that everything is up to standard. The hotels have restaurants and bars, but the food is the basic fare of the country. Some of the lodges also have licensed bars. Nightlife is not very extensive but there are some bars in the city of Gabarone. Shop for handwoven items, baskets and wood cravings at the market and you may be able to purchase some of the bushmen art.

If you really want some excitement on your vacation, take a safari walk where you can get closer to the animals or take a ride on the back of an elephant. You can take a ride down the Okavango Delta in a mokoro, which is a dugout canoe. You can see all of the open plain in a ride in a hot air balloon and experience the culture of Botswana in the historical village of Serowe with its many homesteads. Here you can also visit the Royal Burial Grounds and at Lobatse you can visit the Livingston Memorial.

You will make memories that will last forever when you choose to visit Botswana.
