- African safari expert and professional photographer http://www.eyesonafrica.net/eyes-on-africa.htm [James Weis], President of Eyes on Africa, Ltd. says Botswana is the most sought-after
safari destination for travelers to Southern Africa over the past several years.
Historically, East Africa has been the http://www.eyesonafrica.net/faq.htm#region [preferred safari destination] for photographers and wildlife enthusiasts. However, Botswana has steadily
gained ground since opening its wilderness areas to tourists in the 1990's.
Today Botswana is renowned for its luxury tented http://www.eyesonafrica.net/african-safari.htm [safari camps] and huge concessions of wilderness land combined with very low tourist
densities, making for a private safari experience. The safari vehicles used in Botswana are modified, open-air Land Rovers, which also adds to the intimacy of the adventure.
According to Weis, "the wildlife viewing and photographic opportunities available on a http://www.eyesonafrica.net/african-safari-botswana/botswana-safari.htm [Botswana safari] are simply
the best anywhere in Africa." Botswana has protected 37% of its land as National Parks or Wildlife Management Areas. Its strong conservation policies and minimal population pressure have
given Botswana its unique position for sustained ecotourism.
"Over the past several years customized photographic safaris to the politically stable, democratic country of Botswana have become the choice of travelers seeking the very best in an
http://www.eyesonafrica.net/ [African Safari]," says native South African http://www.eyesonafrica.net/eyes-on-africa.htm [Nicky Glover], co-owner of http://www.eyesonafrica.net/ [Eyes on
Africa].
Botswana's policy regarding tourism is to offer a premium-quality, low volume market. They do not wish to overexploit their wildlife and wilderness resources with mass tourism. The
government is committed to a long-term perspective, with an emphasis on uplifting its citizens through tourism and wildlife.
Botswana offers a diverse array of safari locations including the famous http://www.eyesonafrica.net/african-safari-botswana/okavango-safari.htm [Okavango Delta], the
http://www.eyesonafrica.net/african-safari-botswana/okavango-safari.htm [Linyanti Wildlife Reserve], http://www.eyesonafrica.net/african-safari-botswana/chobe-safari.htm [Chobe National
Park], and the http://www.eyesonafrica.net/african-safari-botswana/makgadikgadi-safari.htm [Makgadikgadi Salt Pans]. Each area offers visitors a different safari experience.
Botswana's on-going commitment to wildlife conservation includes the recent re-introduction of the Rhinoceros at http://www.eyesonafrica.net/african-safari-botswana/mombo.htm [Mombo Camp]
in the Okavango Delta. Extinct in the wild in Botswana since the late 1980s, guests to this remote safari destination are now once again able to experience the Big Five (Lion, Leopard,
Elephant, Buffalo and Rhino) on a http://www.eyesonafrica.net/african-safari-botswana/botswana-safari.htm [safari in Botswana].
Botswana is clearly one country that has recognized the value of investing in its wildlife and its wilderness lands as a sustainable resource and in this regard, has proven to be a model
for other countries throughout Africa.
