Botswana is one of the worlds leading exponents in EcoTourism, with more than 17% of the country set aside as National Parks and Wildlife Reserves. Chobe National Park and Moremi Wildlife Reserve, both being recognised internationally as two of the worlds last true wilderness areas left in Africa. Botswana s promotion of environmentally sensitive, low volume / high income tourism has in the main provided our tourists with the very best that Africa has to offer.
	As Trophy Hunting brought increasing foreign visitors to northern Botswana, the potential of the Chobe National Park was realised as early as the 1930 s and by 1939 the Chobe Game Reserve was a protected area, being elevated to a national park in 1968.

	Chobe National Park is at present the countries third largest park of approximately 11700 Km2. It covers a diverse array of habitats, from the riverine areas of Chobe River and the Linyanti, Deciduous and Mopane forests, extending to the open grasslands of the Mababe Depression. The Savuti Marsh crossed by sand ridges and punctuated with rocky outcrops. Chobe is famed for its vast breeding herds of Elephant and Buffalo together with over 450 species of birds recorded. The Savuti being home to the Lions and Hyena of many wildlife documentary films.
The first Wildlife Reserve in Africa to be created by an Africa tribe, Moremi Wildlife Reserve was named after Chief Moremi III by his wife and today encompasses Chiefs Island, once the exclusive hunting area of Chief Moremi. Moremi Wildlife Reserve is on the eastern side of the Okavango Delta and has the very best of this ecosystem within its boundary, including permanent flooded delta, seasonal flooding plains and mopane forests. Buffalo, Elephant, Giraffe, Impala, Kudu, Wildebeast, and Zebra abound, together with Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Hyena and the African Wild Dog, in addition to the varied and spectacular scenery make Moremi Wildlife Reserve a true paradise. In addition to Botswana s extensive Parks and Reserves there are large tracts of community land adjoining the parks and reserves, which are in turn leased to Safari companies as Wildlife management areas. These areas are utilised for both controlled Hunting and Photographic Safaris, providing extensive buffer zones in this uniquely wild ecosystem.
