Explore Live Cams in Botswana

Botswana is a landlocked country in southern Africa, covering about 224,600 square miles (581,730 km²). Around 70 percent of it is the sandy Kalahari, a dry savanna of grass, thorn trees and salt pans, yet the country is also home to one of the greatest wetlands on Earth, and more than a third of its land is set aside for wildlife.

Its most famous natural wonder is the Okavango Delta, where a river from the Angolan highlands spreads out into the desert instead of reaching the sea, creating a maze of channels, lagoons and islands each winter. In the Makgadikgadi Pans, thousands of zebras make one of the biggest migrations in Africa. The zebra is the national animal.

Botswana has more elephants than any other country, around 130,000, many of them along the Chobe River in the north. Lions, leopards, cheetahs and rare African wild dogs hunt across its reserves, and in the northwest the Tsodilo Hills hold thousands of ancient rock paintings and are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Did You Know? In 2014 the Okavango Delta became the 1,000th site added to UNESCO's World Heritage List.
