If you're looking for a starting point to explore our neighbouring countries, then make Botswana your first destination. Best of all, the country is only a 4 to 7 hours drive from Johannesburg, depending which of the 17 border crossings you choose.

The country is blessed with an abundance of beautiful and varied natural landscapes. Dominated by the Kalahari Desert, which covers up to 70% of its land surface, Botswana is a great place to do some desert exploration. The Okavango Delta, one of the world's largest inland deltas, is in the northwest. 

These landscapes are home to a diverse amount of wildlife. From the delta and desert areas to the grasslands and savannas, Botswana is one of the best places in the world to view all sorts of wildlife. 

More than diamonds and elephants, beautiful Botswana is well worth a visit.
