Botswana one of the most developed and progressive countries in Africa offer much to travelers. The Okavango Delta, a labyrinth of islands, flood plains, and waterways best explored by dugout canoe, teems with wildlife like hippos, elephants, crocodiles, zebras, and giraffes.
East of Okavango is Chobe National Park, a huge stretch of flat, dry land that boasts the greatest variety of animals in Botswana, including lions, wildebeest, cheetah, hyena, buffalo, jackal, and warthog. On this trip you can choose either park, or go to both!
The best time to visit is August-October, but anytime March-November is great. Nights are surprisingly cold during the dry season, so take along a warm sweater. Many of the Okavango Delta camps are closed at the height of (the southern-hemisphere's) summer, December-March, when it's very hot and when there are short daily thunderstorms.
