Botswana is a top choice as a safari destination with its great game viewing in open vehicles, uncrowded wildlife areas and small intimate camps. Most of the country is near-desert, with the Kalahari dominating the western and southern part of the country. The Okavango Delta is a incredible wetland within the desert, receiving its water from rain falling over a thousand kilometers away, and sustaining a huge diversity of plant and animal life. In the north-east, the Chobe and Linyanti Parks are renowned for their predators and large concentrations of game. Elephants at Chobe National Park are the largest in body size of all living elephants and they number about 120,000. A landlocked country, twice the size of Arizona, it is stable and prosperous, and has blossomed since independence from Britain in 1966. It is Africa's longest continuous democracy and one of the world's biggest diamond producers. Botswana is fast earning a reputation as Africa's finest safari destination and, as far as wildlife is concerned, one of Africa's best kept secrets.
