Comparison Between Luxury Tented
* The table below does not list all species, activities, and other highlights of any destination, only those that are relative strengths compared to the other options in the table.
* Destinations in Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe combine fairly easily, with Victoria Falls being the hub that links all three. Namibia combines most easily with Botswana, with three flights weekly linking these two countries.
BOTSWANA
* Most exclusive safari destination in Africa - largest private concessions, smallest camps, fewest people and vehicles
* Lions (large prides, physically impressive specimens) and elephants (large herds and high population density)
* Offers combination of wildlife (highlight) and desert experience
* Natural wonders include Okavango Delta and Makgadikgadi Pans
* Safari areas are relatively close together and easy to combine

* Transition zone between southern and east Africa, with numerous interesting and unique subspecies
* Focus on interactive/adventurous activities, especially walking and canoeing
