This new, large coffee table book, with almost 400 full colour pages, over 25,000 words and 650 images, describes Botswana’s principal tourist attractions - world heritage sites, game reserves, national parks, wildlife and bird sanctuaries and national monuments which, along with adjoining wildlife management areas, make up almost half of the country’s 581,730km2.

One of the world’s unique ecosystems, the Okavango Delta, is located in Botswana and was inscribed as the 1000th UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014.

The Delta boasts robust populations of some of the world’s most endangered large mammals such as cheetah, white and black rhinoceros, wild dog and lion, all adapted to living in this wetland system. The Delta’s habitats are species rich with 1061 plants, 89 fish, 64 reptiles, 482 species of birds and 130 species of mammals.
