Okavango Delta

The Okavango Delta offers probably the most pristine, the highest quality and the highest priced safari in Africa.

Originating in the distant highlands of Angola, the Okavango floodwater actually arrives into the delta during the dry season, May/Oct, causing prodigious quantities of game to migrate inwards from the otherwise parched Kalahari desert. At this time there is no better game-viewing in Africa. Even during the converse season the quality remains well above that of most other areas.

Almost all of Okavango is divided into vast private concessions, where visitor numbers are strictly limited and the camps can generally only be accessed by light aircraft.

The Baobab Tree

Baobab is the common name of a genus of trees (Adansonia). There are eight species, six native to Madagascar, and one each to mainland Africa and Australia. It is the national tree of Madagascar.

In Botswana baobab trees grow mainly in the Northern district  and serve as a major tourist attraction as they are rare and amazing. The Baobab Tree is known as the tree of life, with good reason. It can provide shelter, clothing, food, and water for the animal and human inhabitants of the African savannah regions.

The cork-like bark and huge stem are fire resistant and are used for making cloth and rope. The leaves are used as condiments and medicines. The fruit, called "monkey bread", is edible, and full of Vitamin C. As of 2010 experts estimate the potential international market at a billion dollars($US) a year.

Photographers from all around the world travel to the savannah habitats of Africa to take photos of these enormous trees as they also very beautiful in print.
