Home to the Big Five: Elephant, Cape Buffalo, Lion, Leopard, and Rhino.

In Chobe National Park, home to some 80,000 African elephants, sunsets along the river are a photographer's dream come true. Imagine, if you will, your viewfinder filled with elephants silhouetted against a breathtaking African sunset. It's a place where leopards perch in treetops and sable antelope roam the hillsides, while warthogs spend their days avoiding lions and uprooting grasses and tubers.

Along the edge of the legendary Okavango Delta, lies the Moremi Game Reserve, where a pride of African lions track a herd of Cape buffalo. Nearby, in the bushveld, a pack of wild dogs pursue their own prey. Red lechwe and waterbuck, members of the antelope family, forage among the grasses growing in marshes and swamps.

Nxai Pan has its own surprises. Herds of giraffe, for example, watch intently as the sound of camera shutters being activated fills the air. Zebra and springbok quench their thirst at the local water hole. Nearby, a cheetah - hidden in the brush - looks on, while a bat-eared fox trots out of view in search of its next meal.

All day, zebra and wildebeest trek the dry riverbed bordering Makgadikgadi Pan National Park in their search for water. Nothing can compare to game drive at night at this location, as an African lion, its eyes glowing in the headlights of a safari vehicle, stalks a zebra. Wildebeest are everywhere.

Botswana, and its wildlife rich areas, are a true wildlife photographer's paradise that you must experience to believe.
