Top tourist attraction in Botswana

• Tuli Block

The Tuli Block is a small region of land in Botswana that is surrounded by Zimbabwe and South Africa. This is a famous tourist destination due to the availability of privately owned game reserves for tourists. With its unusual rock formations and extensive grasslands, the terrain here is unlike any other in Botswana.

• Nata Bird Sanctuary

As the name suggests, the Nata Bird Sanctuary is a popular destination for bird-watching travellers. Visitors to the refuge may view and learn about the many different bird species that live there on a seasonal basis. The greatest time to visit is during the rainy season (November-March), when the refuge is home to pelicans and flamingos.

• Tsodilo Hills

The Tsodilo Hills are famous for its thousands-year-old rock art. Bushmen, who have lived in the area for thousands of years, created the cave paintings, and some of the designs are considered to be over 20,000 years old. The Tsodilo Hills are one of the most historically significant rock art sites on the planet; most tourists stay for at least a few days to fully explore the tunnels.

• Okavango Delta

The Okavango Delta is best explored by mokoro, which is a type of canoe. The delta is a network of rivers, lakes, and canals that provide habitat and water to a variety of wild animals. The best time to visit is from June through October, when the weather is mild and the delta is drenched.

• Chobe National Park

Chobe National Park, Botswana's first, is famous for its large herds of African elephants. It is the country's largest and most frequented national park, and many Botswana safaris take place in it, either partially or entirely.

• Central Kalahari Game Reserve

The Central Kalahari Wildlife Reserve is the most remote game reserve in Southern Africa. With its vast open vistas and variety of campers, this is a perfect location for self-drive or guided safaris. Visit Deception Valley for wildlife watching and magnificent scenery.

• Mokolodi Game Reserve

Mokolodi Game Reserve is one of Botswana's hidden gems, far less frequented than Chobe National Park and the Okavango Delta. Among the animals on display are white rhinos, wildebeasts, and zebras. The reserve offers excursions such as horseback safaris and guided treks, as well as lectures and other learning opportunities.

• Sedudu Island

The Chobe River's Sedudu Island is home to various endangered bird and animal species. Visitors may get up up and personal with elephants, hippos, and crocodiles bathing in the sea off the island.

• Khama Rhino Sanctuary

The Khama Rhino Sanctuary in Botswana is a community-built wildlife programme. It was founded in the 1990s to help with the recovery of the fast dwindling rhino population, and it is currently committed to rhino conversation and action. Visitors to the refuge may see rhinos and other wildlife species.

• Moremi Game Reserve

The Moremi Animals Reserve is a fantastic area to see game and migrations. The ecosystem is home to all of the region's major naturally occurring species, and because of its small size, you may see a variety of critters. Because the reserve borders Chobe National Park and the Okavango Delta, you may explore all three on your tour.
