Botswana Safari- The Haven Of
Wildlife Sanctuaries
By Low Jeremy
Vast
lands…wildlife…well, anyone may have those two in
Africa
but not definitely like the experience that may be had from
Botswana Safaris.
This vast piece of land is only one of the few where wildlife
need not compete for land and resources with man. The land area
is as large as France yet the population counts only to mere 1.6
million people. As an outcome, wildlife has increased in great
number that the place becomes a sanctuary for the finest games
in all Africa.
Being the world's largest exporter of diamonds, Botswana no
longer has to compete with the tourist market. Yet as grand as
its land offers for safari fanatics, it can't help but attract
as many tourists as its resources may allow. However, the
government decrees the limited number of people allowed to
penetrate Botswana safaris, thus the significant increase in
prices, which ultimately made it as an exclusive safari
destination.
Kalahari dessert dominates 84% of all Botswana. Though it is a
dessert by name, Kalahari is not much like a dessert, as we may
perceive Sahara. Except for occasional sand dunes, Kalahari is
mostly covered with vegetation characterized by bushes,
grasslands, trees and scrubs. However, water is meager thus the
dessert label.
Visitors of Botswana safaris are almost always amazed at how
creative and genius the creation and maintenance of its
wildlife sanctuaries.
The finest games in the whole region are found in the Chobe
National Park which is located somewhere in the north east side
of the country. It harbors the most varied games in the country
and is refuted to nurse the largest group of elephants in a
single place. Elephants here are estimated to have reached up
to 80,000 individuals.
Savuti Marshes, on the other hand (which is located in the
Chobe National Park) is refuted to have the largest density of
predators found in all Africa. Hundreds of wildlife species are
found here, both preys and predators.
Its resources for water encourages buffalo, antelopes, zebras
and the likes that are followed by predators such as the
leopards, cheetahs, wild dogs, lions, and jackals. Some
predators here have the tendency to become lazy and living in
Savuti Marshes sounds more like a gift than anything else.
Botswana safari is simply a unique place for wildlife
conservation. But this act is took time to accomplish. Botswana
is a country that is bordered by neighboring countries. While
great efforts and done to protect all its wildlife, it still
needs other countries' collaboration to make everything
working. After all, animals do not comprehend international
borders.
