Thomas
Baines, both artist and explorer, first captured
the beauty of Africa and rendered immortal in particular
the baobab tree, an indigenous tree of Botswana, on
canvas in 1862. As a member of Livingstone’s
expedition, his artistically inspired travels prompted
him to document this country with a realism that only
art can truly deliver.
For those who enjoy the wilderness, Botswana is one
of the continent’s top safari destinations.
Visit the Okavango Delta;
the world's largest wetland wilderness, covering 15,000
sq km and teeming with a spectacular array of wildlife.
Witness herds of game
roaming across the Kalahari plains; part of
the largest continuous stretch of desert in the world.
Explore the Makgadikgadi
Pans; the world's largest natural salt pans and
admire the unique silhouette of Baines' baobab
trees.
