If you are looking for an amazing African vacation try a Botswana Safari Holiday. The wildlife and landscape of this African country are simply awe inspiring. Watching wildlife safari on The Discovery Channel or on National Geographic is one thing, nice but ho hum. Seeing it with your own eyes, smelling it and hearing it in person is the ultimate travel experience.
There are many provinces in Africa where you can safari and take tours. The Botswana area is less overrun by tourists and gives a person much more freedom to explore on their own (or get in trouble if not careful). If you're looking for ultimate in adventure, I recommend Botswana Safari Holidays, you will love it.

There is lodging available right on the lagoon for added interest and excitement. You can choose to "camp" according to your luxury expectations and your budget. There are several different private camps set-up along the edge of Xakanaxa. "Chiefs Safari Camp" and "Camp Moremi" are integrated into landscape in such a fashion that you can stay within the safety of the camp while still observing wild game in action.
Desert
If you go to Botswana during animal migration season – between March and May, you can hire a 4×4 and take it into the desert for some real safari sightseeing. There is no lodging in the desert, so you would be wilderness camping and sleeping underneath the stars. This can be amazing fun and very dangerous. Do not underestimate the desert. Sufficient supplies and a guide are a must. Hyena, jackal, antelope, lion, snakes and i countless species of birds and reptiles live in the desert. There is something to see any time of the year. Wisdom and caution are a must no matter when you go into the desert.

Not only is it ridiculously hot year round, but Africa has vast wildlife. One great example is an occurrence where John and thousands of refugees were trapped on the banks of the Gilo River. They had Ethiopian soldiers on one side and a crocodile filled river on the other. As John started to hear grenades being launched, he saw many soldiers and vehicles. He had no choice but to jump into the river, face the vicious crocodiles, and “attempt” to swim ten minutes without having the physical skills to do so.
Would you prefer vacationing in a dense jungle or a scorching hot desert? Thankfully, I have had the privilege to do both. Over the past year, I have traveled to the beautiful rainforests of Costa Rica and the barren wilderness of Bonaire. By studying the parallels and differences of both destinations, one has the ability to understand the travel expectations, habitats, and activities of Costa Rica and Bonaire.
This aspect is “The Double-edged Sword of Ecotourism.” In this chapter, Stanford expresses the positives and negatives of ecotourism. Ecotourism is a form of tourism which involves visiting fragile and undisturbed natural areas and in this case, the main reason is to see gorillas. Ecotourism has its good and bad. It is good because those poor communities that live close to the habitats of the apes can have a source of revenue. Those areas are really poor, and with ecotourism, they can earn about $9000 dollars a month. However, those areas may not exactly be the safest. Stanford cites a 1999 cross border attack by rebel groups in Rwanda in which 8 ecotourists were murdered and this attack deterred tourist from going there for many months. Another negative aspect of ecotourism is how it affects the apes. Although, many apes who do live in these areas of habituation and have tourists coming in and out, the apes develop really high stress levels. When humans move too quickly or make loud noises, the apes are stressed out and can flee. Not only that, but increased stress levels lowers their immune systems making them more susceptible to disease. Stanford ends this chapter saying that ecotourism is bound to happen if the countries are too poor to provide for their people and that “the apes will have to live with the results” (190). In
Wildlife tourism has become a particularly popular trend over the years. Riding on elephants, taking pictures with lions, swimming with dolphins are only a few of the adventurous and thrilling activities that wildlife tourism provides. Even my own school is planning a trip to South Africa to participate in several of the enthralling ventures.
The Sahara desert affected the development of North Africa. The Sahara’s large temperature range and small supply of water can make the region difficult to thrive upon. However, it is not impossible. As stated in document 2, temperatures can reach up to 120 degrees fahrenheit and supplies of water are scant. Journeying through the Sahara was very difficult until the camel was introduced for travel. As stated in document 2, the camel could travel long distances
Not only does the camp offers classic camp activities such as rock climbing, hiking, arts and knowledge on natural science, it also uses canoe-camping trips as an excuse for personal development and growth. The expeditions range from 2 to 35 days on rivers and lakes, and it is surrounded by nature that the campers learn about themselves and overcome multiple challenges as they push their physical and mental limits. This close relationship to the land as a pedagogy tool has been historically part of the Atikamekw culture, as the Atikamekw Nehirowisiw (balance and union with nature) is a definition of their identity . As many institutions and camp in Canada, Indigenous heritage is appropriated and transformed, and can be seen in many aspects of most summer camps. At Minogami, camp life is cradled by Indigenous traditions, observed in the legends we tell, the song we sing and the vocabulary we use. Another example of Indigenous-based traditions we hold on to is giving feathers of different colors at the end of the stay to the campers, as a form of reward and acknowledgement of their achievement of different challenges. Moreover, many activities are traditional Indigenous ones, such as canoe and archery. It has been for a long time a great debate at the camp, how to act towards the Indigenous population of the Nitaskinan, and how to decolonize the camp. As I was never a young camper at Minogami
Lions once ranged throughout Africa and from Europe to Iran and India. By 1900 lions were no longer found in Syria; today Asiatic lions are limited to the Gìr Sanctuary in India. Lions also roam Africa south of the Sahara, particularly the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and the Kruger National Park in South Africa. This drastic reduction in range came about as humans and domestic livestock spread into savanna lands. Because lions live in open areas, they are easily shot by hunters and herders.
This allows for a wide variety of subjects and imagination. Because of all the unique aspects of African Art, more and more people are now becoming fascinated with Africa and its history.

Ask yourself “if I could take a trip ANYWHERE where would I go” well, I asked myself the same question where would I go? Here is my answer, I would go to the Bahamas because I think that I need to try something new. I think that if I went to the Bahamas then i would try everything because i am very deprived as in i don’t take advantage of the things i could be doing.

Along these lines Botswana is a country which has an amusing population development history. At first the country was dwelled by the San or the Basarwa and Khoi. It is argued that these groups originated in in the north of Africa. Around the 300A.D (After Death of Christ) they migrated to the south, where they found the Bantu groups. The groups were chased from the south by the Bantu groups as they believe that they were a threat to their livestock. The san people were the native Botswana people. In 1961 the country experienced colonialism from Britain. Thus the colonies decided to...
