The Okavango Delta is the largest wetland in Botswana and where the Kalahari's animals come to drink.

Delta de l'Okavango

The immense desert covers almost half of Botswana and crosses both the Namibian and South African borders. Most tourists cross it little by little, stopping at bush camps along the way.

Kalahari

The Zambezi River  is the 4th most important in the continent, behind the Nile, the Congo and the Niger. It stretches 2750 km from Zambia to the Indian Ocean, passing through Victoria Falls. Downstream, you can go rafting from Livingstone.

I loved my safari on Chief's Island, which is in the heart of the <a href="/botswana/">Okavango Delta</a> and the<a href="/botswana/">private Moremi Game Reserve</a>. The landscape's stunning and there aren't a lot of tourists: you can really enjoy watching animals in their natural habitat.
It's also here that you'll find the greatest concentration of animals during the delta's dry season, as the water source doesn't dry out. You'll spot antelopes, zebras, giraffes, baboons, as well as predators (lions, leopards...) or black and white rhinoceros, which were re-introduced to the park in 2001.
There is, however, a price to pay for such luxury. The area's only open to guests staying at the Sanctuary Chief's Camp and the Mombo Camp; glamping it up in luxury tents next to a swimming pool and afro-chic lobby. 
You can't but enjoy a stay at Chief's Island, which is reserved for the happy few who can afford it. Nonetheless, other travellers can easily enjoy a safari in the Moremi Game Reserve or head further along the delta.
