The
diversity of wilderness areas in Botswana that it can be difficult
selecting the best place to visit. Each area is unique, allowing
for various of safari activities. When the
summer rains start towards the end of November the dry savanah of Savute
comes alive. Its rich new grasses are a magnet for herds of Burchell's
Zebra and Wildebeest, which can be found on the Savute marsh where they
foal, before making for the lush grazing grounds of the Mababe
Depression further south. With migration sights similar to that of the
more well-known Serengeti and Masai Mara
As
the rains cease towards the end of February and the pans evaporate as
the dry season looms the herds gather once again. Closely followed by
predators, they make their annual journey from
Savute to the Linyanti and Kwando rivers to arrive around
April.
During
the winter months, the banks of the Chobe, Kwando and Linyanti
rivers become the lifeblood of the wildlife, as there is no surface
water in the surrounding bush. Elephant and Buffalo are
also migratory, making seasonal movements of up to 200km from the Chobe,
Kwando and Linyanti Rivers, as they concentrate in the pans in the
Mopane woodlands to the south, where there is a sufficient food.
Wildlife in Botswana flow with the seasons.
