Synopsis

The name Botswana conjures up images of wide open spaces with a 4x4 and tented camp in the distance, vast herds of migratory game stalked by black-maned lions, a San hunter drawing back his bow, and a poler in his mokoro gliding through the reeds of the Okavango. The country is all this and more, for it is also a modern, peaceful, prosperous and an example to the rest of Africa and the world. Go and lose yourself and find your way back again with this guide that covers it all. Use this guide for: Getting there and around with detailed route descriptions of every region, including street plans of towns and maps with GPS coordinates; Finding accommodation and making reservations (includes contact details, e-mail addresses and websites); Information on national parks, game reserves, including the Delta and desert; Advice on taking and using your own car, packing and travel documents; All the facts, figures, history and highlights; Tips on health and safety.

About the Author

MIKE COPELAND is an Afro-optimist who loves to travel - not as a tourist, but eating, drinking and living like a local. His love and knowledge of Africa is evident in previous guidebooks, the Getaway Guide - Cape to Cairo and his most recent book, the second edition of the Getaway Guide to Mozambique. When not riding motorbikes, landrovers, buses, trucks and trains through Africa, he relaxes in the fairest Cape - Paarl in the Western Cape. 'I need a bolt-hole where the wine is good and the livin' is easy.'
