Botswana Summer Encounter
DISCOVER BOTSWANA'S DESERT, DELTA, PLAINS AND RIVERS
This Exploration reveals the exuberant, life-filled summer season of Botswana, in prime areas where few people travel. Beginning at the "petrified" river valley of Deception Valley in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, sporadic summer rains bring plains game into the desert valleys in large numbers, followed by their predators. The always-fertile green islands of the Okavango and its crystal-clear waterways are one of the most fascinating ecosystems on the planet while the diverse and wildlife-rich Linyanti and Chobe River systems is an essential compliment to the Delta. The journey ends appropriately at the famous Victoria Falls on the Zambian side of the Zambezi River.
