Back to the Delta – on safari in Botswana

Or a row of 150 safari vehicles, parked three deep, people out of their vehicles, watch wildebeest cross a river during the Great Migration.
I don’t know where the answer to all of this lies, but I suspect that it may be in Botswana.
For more than two decades, Botswana has led the way in high-cost, low-density safari tourism.
For a start, Botswana has the third-lowest population density in Africa (behind Namibia and Libya) – vast empty spaces and a distinct lack of crowding are at the heart of Botswana life.
Whatever the reason, going on safari in Botswana is how safaris once were everywhere, but that’s now all too rare almost everywhere else.
