African Adventurer's Guide to Botswana by Michael Main

African Adventurer's Guide to Botswana by Michael Main

Botswana is a very special place - it is one of the few pristine and unspoilt environments left in the world, and offers an unequalled opportunity to study Africa's wildlife. From big game to a wide diversity of birdlife, insects, reptiles and plant life. From the national parks of Moremi and Chobe, favourites to visitors from all over the world, to the fascination of the Kalahari and the Makgadikgadi Pans, to the unique Okavango Delta with its thirteen thousand square kilometres of waterways, Botswana provides a heady mixture for the lover of the great outdoors. This guide caters for both organised tours and private travellers who want to experience the wild lands of Botswana, giving detailed descriptions of how to get there, how to shape your trip, where to stay, what to take with you, what to do in emergencies, and other vital information such as climate, bush driving, and ways and means of travelling around the country. Descriptions of Botswana's famed nature reserves and national parks includes maps as well as details of flora, fauna, geology and interesting historical features. Larger centres such as Gaborone, Maun, Francistown and Lobatse are described in detail, and some 21 suggested self-drive routes for both two-wheel and four-wheel drivers are included.

Mike Main is a freelance writer and management consultant who spends much of his time travelling in Botswana. He lives in Gaborone, and is the author of Kalahari: Life's Variety in Dune and Delta and Zambezi: Journey of a River.
