Namibia and Botswana

Introduction to the Namibia and Botswana expedition

Namibia’s mainland holds some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Africa. Namibia is a vast and impressive country located on Africa’s south west coast where the scorched deserts that cover the country meet in dramatic style with the ice-cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean. This spectacular coastline stretches the entire 1600km length of the country from the infamous Skeleton Coast in the north to the vast Namib Desert in the south.

The Kalahari Desert covers much of Botswana, home to the nomadic Bushmen famed for their powers of survival in a harsh and arid environment. To the north the Okavango River flows into the desert to form an inland delta, characterised by a myriad of channels and islands.

Frequently referred to as the jewel in the Kalahari’s crown, this vibrant and lush ecosystem makes a startling contrast to the surrounding plains. All the major African game species gather here, drawn from the desert in search of a watering hole.
