Botswana is a huge country in Southern Africa, known to be hot and dry, with the exception of the lush oasis of the Okavango Delta in the north of the country - reputedly one of the most beautiful places in the world. Largely off-the-beaten track, Botswana is a haven for wildlife - especially elephants...

Mozambique Compared to other Southern African countries, Mozambique has  lower numbers of wildlife. This is due to Mozambique’s civil upheaval - during which a large-scale organised poaching movement systematically removed almost all the big game from the bush. Mozambicans were therefore unfortunately reduced to hunter-gatherer status and in some areas even locusts and ants were harvested almost to extinction... Birdlife has recovered to some extent but only the most remote areas offer the chance to view African wildlife, including the Big Five – but it must be on foot and with experienced guides.
