  • Dear Rob, just a short e-mail to let you know we are safely back home after another brilliant safari. Everything went smoothly and we had a thoroughly enjoyable time with many highlights. Thank you for your welcome home letter and for all your help in setting up a great trip.

Regions

By way of introduction to the regions of Botswana, we first want to dwell on the Kalahari Basin, which contrary to being a specific area, is in fact the largest continuous stretch of sand in the world, from South Africa in the south to the Congo in the north. Thus it can be said that all the regions specified below fall within this greater ecosystem, and could all be called ‘the Kalahari’! However, the influence of various great waterways has allowed many of these regions to develop so that they no longer offer typical Kalahari conditions.
