the Kalahari Desert. In the northwestern corner of the country, the Okavango River empties into the Kalahari Sands, creating the largest inland river delta in the world, the Okavango Delta, in which Moremi Wildlife Reserve is set. The Delta fluctuates in size and creates a paradise of islands and lagoons teeming with birds and wildlife. In the northeast, the famous Chobe National Park covers a wide variety of country including riverine forest, flood-plain, periodic marsh, mopane and miombo woodland and a few rocky outcrops and is also home to over 3,000 elephants. In the East Nata and the Sowa Salt Pans are home to over a 1,000 varieties of migrating birds. |



Although Botswana is noted for its safari’s and game viewing, it is also one of the Sub- Saharan African countries seriously threatened by HIV/AIDS. The thinly populated, mostly rural country of 1.7 million has one of the world's worst HIV epidemics, with nearly 40 percent of adults infected, and life expectancy has fallen to just 39 years, down from a pre-epidemic expectation of 72 years. However, since 2002, when Botswana became the first African country to offer free antiretroviral drugs to everyone in need of therapy, the nation has become the continent's model for treatment. |

Kasane is a small town and the gateway to the Chobe National Park and it was from this town that David Livingstone made his greatest ‘find’, Lake Victoria. Kasane is also near the confluence of the Chobe and Zambezi Rivers, and its position in Northern Botswana places it near the borders of Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe, making it the perfect base for explorations into the Chobe National Park, and the surrounding three countries. The most prominent feature of the Chobe National Park is the huge concentration of elephants. It is not only the elephants that make this very special park worth visiting, but also the astounding natural beauty. This park has an amazing variety of habitats, ranging from floodplains, baobab, and mopane trees and acacia woodlands, to verdant flood grasslands and thickets bordering the Chobe River. Flowing along the parks northern boundaries are the Linyanti and Chobe Rivers, while in the south the Savuti Channel brings life to the Mababe Depression. The Chobe National Park has an amazing variety of game, and many brilliantly coloured birds. |
