Book Description

This land-locked country in southern Africa is a choice destination for wildlife photography and for travel in a less ‘pressured’ manner than are the norm in other parts of the continent. Through higher costs and important logistical restraints, the authorities have made clear that they wish to limit the flow of foreign visitors in order that their environmental heritage is looked after in the best possible way. The book outlines the best place to visit to experience the notable wildlife and beautiful landscapes, together with practical tourist information and photographic advice.

1.0 out of 5 stars Botswana Safari Guide is very disappointing, March 12, 2008

This review is from: Botswana Safari Companion (Safari Companions) (Paperback)

While the book promises details of "the best areas to visit and the notable wildlife you can expect to see", it is very general and provides little detail as to where or when (within each broad area) you can expect to see the "notable" (read commonly seen) wildlife. I was looking for a guide that would help me plan where to go (ie what areas within each Park) and when, not just provide some pretty pictures of what I might see in the Park as a whole if I went. It certainly does not provide "all I need to know to prepare for a trip" to Botswana. Nice pictures but fairly hopeless as a "guide".
