In Botswana

In the middle of the Okavango Delta, go in search of the Big 5

In addition, the magnificent and unique environment of the Okavango Delta has superb small lodges for observation. For a truly exceptional trip you can finish with a couple of days at the Victoria Falls.

Observe the greatest concentration of wildlife in the world

The montane rain forest and its famous quetzal, the Caribbean coast and the imperial toucan, the Pacific coast and the mythical jaguar: three icons over a myriad of others.

It is also a country which has made the choice of preservation and ecotourism, and which contains a trove of other natural treasures.
