WHY BOTSWANA?
This magnificent land of contrasting beauty and culture is a "must see" destination for all travellers who value beauty, wildlife, culture and endless variety of opportunities.

Of course, this year Botswana has been made so much more visible to the world thanks to the BBC screening of Alexander McCall Smith`s, No 1 Ladies Detective Agency. Filmed in the exact locations that the books was written about - and featuring the endearing character of Mme Ramotswe, The Independent Traveller is proud to present a selection of holidays to capitalise upon this and to allow you to visit all the scenes and places so beautifully portrayed in the books.

Botswana has one of the lowest population densities in the world, and with its exclusive tourism policies, the wildlife attractions are largely unspoilt and uncrowded, promising you an unparalleled African adventure. From the Kalahari sand dunes, to the flat salt baked expanses of the Makgadikgadi pans - and then the contrasting beauty and serenity of the Okavango Delta - to the Moremi - home of some of the best game viewing - and not forgetting Chobe National Park - there really is an amazing experience waiting for you.

SEASONS:
The summer season begins in November and ends in March. It usually brings very high temperatures. However, summer is also the rainy season, and cloud coverage and rain can cool things down considerably, although only usually for a short period of time.

The winter season begins in May and ends in August. This is also the dry season when virtually no rainfall occurs. Winter days are invariably sunny and cool to warm; however, evening and night temperatures can drop below freezing point in some areas, especially in the southwest.

The in-between periods - April/early May and September/October - still tend to be dry, but the days are cooler than in summer and the nights are warmer than in winter.
