Beguiling Botswana
Adventurous travellers seeking a truly remote African safari will be thrilled to discover it in central Botswana. The Central Kalahari Game Reserve is the second largest game reserve in the world and one of the least visited, nothing can prepare you for the sheer wonder of exploring this vast reserve with its wild, untouched beauty. Combine it with the amazing Okavango Delta and Linyanti Concessions and you've got an unforgettable experience.
