Description
Let your next trip begin here. Botswana and Namibia offer many opportunities for a trip where landscape and wildlife take centre stage. Lonely Planet helps you compare the regions and plan a journey with room for both major nature experiences and time to take in the places along the way.
Etosha National Park, Lüderitz and Victoria Falls are among the highlights. The guide also covers Chobe, the Okavango Delta, the Kalahari, Gaborone, Windhoek and Fish River Canyon. It also includes coverage of Victoria Falls Town in Zimbabwe and Livingstone in Zambia, giving you a basis for considering a trip that extends beyond the two countries in the title.
What’s included in the guide. The book includes a safari planner and a photo section for identifying wildlife, along with suggested routes, maps and practical planning information. Background on food, history and local life adds further perspectives to the trip. Use the regional breakdown to decide which parts of the journey deserve the most time, rather than trying to fit everything in.
From wanderlust to a plan that suits you. The guide combines maps and route suggestions with practical recommendations on transport, accommodation, food and experiences, among other things. Background on culture, history and local life offers further angles on the places you visit. Use the book to compare the regions before choosing a route, and to find your next detour along the way. You can follow the suggestions closely or let them be the starting point for your own travel plan.
The physical book brings the ideas together in one place and is easy to browse with your travel companions. Choose a few experiences to prioritise, and leave room for the rest of the plan to change. Fewer moves between locations can mean more time to experience each place. The guide suits both initial planning at home and use as a reference you pick up when a new idea comes to mind along the way.
