Botswana is one of the ultimate destinations if you want to go on safari. Why is travelling to Botswana more expensive than other destinations? How do you run a camp or lodge in what feels like the middle of nowhere? What should you know about a visit to this country in southern Africa? James, who works at Desert & Delta Safaris, explains this to us. He also talks about his favourite birds (one sounds like a champagne cork!), and about a new opportunity for visitors to see the cultural side of the country. Be inspired to travel!
