Botswana is one of Africa's most enchanting destinations, and it has a well-deserved reputation for its environmental protection efforts. The Okavango Delta's lily-lined waterways are best explored in a dugout canoe (mokoro) and, in the northeast, Chobe National Park boasts some of Africa's largest herds of elephant. The Kalahari Desert offers visitors a chance to experience this seemingly infinite expanse as well as the opportunity to meet the people who have made this land their home for millennia. The Makgadikgadi Pans are host to rare desert species in the dry season and attract migrating zebras when it rains. Across the border, Victoria Falls roars; a trip to see "The Smoke That Thunders" can easily be integrated into a visit to Botswana. Costs valid through December 31, 2008; holiday surcharges may apply.
