Discover natural wonders on these eco-friendly escapes
Botswana
Take a walk on the wild side, eco-style, with a trip to Africa’s backcountry. With the wide open Savannah plains stretching to the horizon, sprawling deserts, riverine forests, transient lakes, salt pans, and a captivating display of wildlife, Botswana offers timeless natural beauty and rightly deserves its reputation as the "jewel of Africa." Safaris take you into the northern region, where unspoiled wilderness protects the land’s spectacular range of wildlife: Elephant herds, leopards, lions, zebras, hippos, white rhinos, and chacma baboons are just some of the glorious creatures you will encounter here. A plethora of environmentally friendly resorts have sprouted up along the Savannah, making it easy for travelers (albeit well-heeled ones) to revel in eco-fantasy stays; more affordable options are found in the Mokolodi Nature Reserve.
