Botswana - A success story in Africa

Botswana is one of the few African countries that can has a stable government, is rich in minerals, exquisite natural beauty and a strong currency. Their currency is at the moment even stronger than the South African Rand. Even though South Africa is mostly seen as the most advanced and stable country in Africa, Botswana never had any political instability or tribal wars like 90% of the other African countries experienced at some stage after independence.









The northern part of Botswana has the Okavango Delta, the Moremi Game Reserve, Chobe river and National Park.











The Chobe National park has one of the biggest elephant populations in Africa. You are guaranteed wonderful close up views of these elegant and powerful animals during a drive through the park or a boat cruise on the Chobe.





On the river cruise you will most certainly meet up with a few hippos relaxing in the water. You have to look carefully as most of the times they look more like rocks in the water than animals. They do however come out every once in a while which will give you chance to take a good look at these massive creatures. They are very dangerous and sometimes tries to attack the boats on the river. Not a good idea as most of the boats doing tours on the river are much bigger then them. But on a small boat you might be in danger if a angry hippo gets disturbed in his rest.
