Product Description

Botswana's Okavango Delta is a wetland paradise and top destination in Africa for wildlife enthusiasts. The Bradt guide offers thorough coverage of this unique ecosystem and its multitude of bird and plant life. The lure of the Chobe National Park as a prime conservation area, the Linyanti Swamps, the Central Kalahari Game Reserve and Tsodilo Hills with their wealth of bushman rock art (now a UNESCO World Heritage Site) are also covered in depth, supplying the visitor with a wide range of very accessible attractions. As well as detailed sections on the environment, wildlife and fauna, the volume contains guidance on safari camps and lodges and information on Gaborone, Maun and other gateway cities. A background to the culture and people of the region is also included.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most comprehensive guide on Northern Botswana to date!, 4 Jul 2003

By	"paalskjetne" - See all my reviews

I’ve been waiting for this book for a long time!! None of the other guides on the area even comes close. It is the most detailed guide I’ve read on the Okavango, Chobe, Makgadikgadi, and the northern Kalahari. In my view the information seems to be very up-to-date (which is not true for Bradts second edition on Namibia!). This book is suitable for people going on an organized safari (I envy them their $'s and the luxury that awaits them :-) ), and those planning an independent self-drive. The maps are good, and a number of useful GPS coordinates are included. The descriptions of off some of the beaten track sites that I have visited are very accurate. If you are a self-drive tourist you might want to look at Mike Mains: "African Adventurer's Guide to Botswana". It has many trails that are more detailed in the same region, but lacks the overview given in this guide describing the many concession areas surrounding the Okavango. The book also includes a very useful section on Livingstone in Zambia, telling you how to get the most out of your visit to the famed Victoria Falls. What do I miss? Talking to Elein Drotsky, she mentioned that here sisters company could arrange boat trips from Shakawe to Maun, water levels permitting. There is no mention of this or any other such service in the book, guess I'll have to do some digging on that one myself. All in all, your $’s, �’s, €’s or Rand’s will be well spent on this guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent, informative and up to date, 24 Feb 2004

By	"pnb1000" - See all my reviews

To confirm what the other reviwer said, this guide is up to date, friendly and helpful. Has important information missing from the Lonely Planet guide, including excellent details on travelling between towns, road conditions, directions, GPS co-ordinates etc - all of which are missing from LP. Furthermore, of the telephone numbers I tried, these ones worked and LP's didn't.

In sum, this is a sizeable book with the level of detail you need.

Note that this guide only deals with Northern Botswana, ie there is nothing on Gabarone here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Essential, 1 May 2009

By	Poison Ivy (Switzerland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Botswana: Okavango Delta - Chobe - Northern Kalahari (Bradt Safari Guide) (Bradt Travel Guide) (Paperback)

Bradt Travel Guides have done it again! Their latest entry in their increasingly wonderful catalogue, the Botswana Travel Guide, represents another great example of how a travel guide should be: detailed, informative and exhaustive. By using almost exclusively their Botswana guide I was able to plan my self-driving trip down to the last detail. Botswana is not an easy Country to explore on your own steam, but with the help of the Bradt travel guide I was able to reach even the most remote and inaccessible areas as the guide has easy to read maps and gives precise directions, even offering GPS coordinates. Anyone considering a trip to the northern part of this breathtaking country (in particular the Okavango Delta, the Chobe National Park, the Moremi Game Reserve, the Great Salt Pans, the Central Kalahari Game Reserve and the Tsodilo Hills) look no further: the Bradt Travel Guide to Botswana is the only guidebook you need.
