Zeer bijzondere landkaart van Chobe National Park in Botswana. Uitermate handig zijn de GPS coordinaten van de meest belangrijke punten als campings of uitzichtpunten. De kaart is gebaseerd op een luchtfoto, waarbij alle details zijn ingetekend. The map: The Chobe map consists of a complete map of Chobe on the front of the map and there are 5 individual maps of the major tourist areas on the back of the map. These are Chobe river front east, Chobe river front west, Nogatsaa, Savute and a small orientation map. The map was compiled by using satellite images, giving one a birds eye-view of the area. The roads were tracked by means of a GPS and then super-imposed on the photographs. Detailed GPS co-ordinates are supplied for game-drive areas. The Chobe map contains 126 GPS co-ordinates. The four main tourist areas: The Chobe National Park consists of a variety of vegetation types and geological features, offering extreme contrasts and a wide range of wildlife experiences within the confines of one park. Four main tourist areas have been developed. They are as follows: Chobe River Front - The Chobe is proud of and very famous for its abundance of elephants – the highest concentration anywhere in the world! There are also huge herds of buffalo, the Chobe bushbuck, the puku (an antelope), its rich birdlife and, not least, for its exquisite sunsets. Linyanti - There are only 7 km of riverfront that can be used for game-drives and the road to get there is very sandy. To truly enjoy the Linyanti area one should visit one of the lodges but it is only possible to get to the lodges by air. Savute - In sharp contrast to the lush Chobe riverfront is the almost desert-like landscape of the Savute. A scorching sun, loose, hot sand, animals escaping the heat by clumping together in the limited available shade and elephants impatiently lining up to get to the ever dwindling water supply. All of the above, offer a wildlife experience unique to Savute. Nogatsaa area - When the pans have water, game viewing in this area is very good. Elephant activity is rife and one can watch the animals from the comfort of a hide at many of the water holes. This area is not open to the general public for camping but it is possible to visit the area on day-trips. ... [meer info]

Zeer bijzondere landkaart van Moreni Game Reserve in Botswana. Uitermate handig zijn de GPS coördinaten van de meest belangrijke punten als campings of uitzichtspunten. De kaart is gebaseerd op een luchtfoto, waarbij alle details zijn ingetekend. The map: The Moremi map is based on satellite photos. The front of the map consists of a map of the entire Reserve and on the back are six separate maps of Khwai river-front east, Khwai river-front west, an orientation map of Moremi, Xakanaxa area and the Moanachira river, Xakanaxa game-drive area and Bodumatau area. The roads were tracked by GPS and there are 162 GPS co-ordinates on the map. General: As part of the Okavango Delta, Moremi consists of permanent swamp, seasonally swamped areas and dry land. It is one of the prime tourist destinations in Botswana and offers water activities, top game-viewing, some of the best bird-life in Africa and incredible scenery. Not to be missed! Locality and size: The Moremi Game Reserve is nestled within the Okavango Delta and completely buffered by wildlife management areas. When it was first established in 1963, it covered only the dry-land triangle but today it comprises 4 871 km2. How to get there: All the camps are accessible by air but only the dry-land triangle between South Gate, Mboma Island, Xakanaxa and North Gate is accessible by road. From Maun one travels north-east for 100 km to get to South Gate. From Kasane one travels south-west for about 265 km. Where to stay: All the camps around Moremi are indicated on the map. Detailed address references are supplied in the Shell Tourist Travel Guide of Botswana, which is presented as a package with the Botswana map. Best season to visit: Winter is the best time to visit (from May to August) but September to December is the best time for bird-watching. The roads are very difficult to negotiate during the rainy season and the animals are more scattered. ... [meer info]

Zeer bijzondere landkaart van de Okavango Delta en Linyanti. Uitermate handig zijn de GPS coördinaten van de meest belangrijke punten als campings of uitzichtpunten. De kaart is gebaseerd op een luchtfoto, waarbij alle details zijn ingetekend. The map: The map of the Okavango and Linyanti was compiled by using LANDSAT satellite images. The main reason for a tourist map of the area is to indicate the localities of the lodges as well as the wildlife management areas in which they occur. Tourists to the Okavango often visit more than one lodge and this will give them a good idea of where they have been. On the back of the map are enlargements of the different tourist areas, which shows more detail of the landscape. There are no GPS co-ordinates on the Okavango map as all the Wildlife areas consist of private concessions, which are not open to the general public. The roads in the private concessions have also not been indicated as this may mislead the self-driving public, making them think that they are public roads. All the localities of lodges were done by means of GPS references. General: The Okavango Delta is a unique ecosystem situated in the middle of the largest stretch of continuous sand in the world – the Kalahari basin. This wetland lies like an oasis in an otherwise inhospitable landscape. The vegetation is lush, but very fragile and the wildlife is of the best to be seen in Africa. The Linyanti area lies to the north-east of the Okavango and forms part of the same ecosystem. How to get there: Most visitors fly to Maun or to Kasane and fly to their various destinations. The only areas open to the self-driving public is the western pan-handle, the eastern pan-handle, the Moremi Game Reserve and the public road to Savute from Maun. Where to stay: All the lodges are indicated on the map and their contact details are provided in detail in the directory of the Botswana Travel Guidebook which is discussed elsewhere on this site. ...

Een zeer goede reisgids voor de doe-het-zelvers in Botswana. Vol met GPS coordinaten die de juiste locaties aanduiden geeft het een geweldig overzicht waar je de mooie plekken kunt vinden. Dit is echt de gids als je zelf met een camper of 4x 4 door dit land gaat rijden. The Botswana Map and Travel Guide is a completely updated version of the original Botswana Map and booklet that was first launched in 1996. The Travel Guide: The author traveled the entire country again during 2003 and 2004 to collect the latest information for the book. Previously, the booklet consisted of 60 pages but it is currently 192 pages thick. The book is very user-friendly by making use of colour-coding, sub-headings within the colour codes and a bigger font to make reading in a moving vehicle easier. There are many colour photographs and 24 maps (apart from the 20 maps that are on the actual map as described below). The book consists of three main sections - General Information, Traveling requirements and Tourist Destinations. The latter section describes each area in depth, providing information on Locality and size, How to get there, Where to stay, Best season to visit, Road conditions, Fuel, Food, Water, Distances, Traveling times, Geology, Vegetation, Wildlife and Bird-life. There is also new information, especially on the Kalahari area and the changes that have taken place in the National Parks and Game Reserves. At the back of the book is a complete directory of all Lodges, Hotels, Camping sites, Mobile Operators - arranged alphabetically according to towns. As this advertising is free of charge, it was the objective to include all tourist companies. Thus, the companies that were not indicated, were accidental. Such companies can contact Veronica Roodt at veronicaroodt@lantic.net to be mentioned in future editions. The map: The map is similar to the previous map of Botswana with a main map on the front and 19 additional enlarged maps of tourist areas. The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park has changed considerably since the previous map and the area north of the Park - the Kaa Kalahari Concession - has been added as this is also a new tourist destination in Botswana. All the National Park roads have also been updated and some additional routes have been added in the Makgadikgadi Pans area. Over 300 GPS co-ordinates are supplied on these maps to make traveling easier in remote areas. Visitors are urged, however, to use these co-ordinates to stick to the main tracks and not to make shortcuts. The vegetation of Botswana is very fragile and undisciplined driving will cause tremendous damage. Shell Oil and Veronica Roodt are devoted to conservation and they trust the readers will be responsible in this respect ... [meer info]

Reisverhalen en reisromans Botswana

Vermakelijk boekje over de belevenissen van een engelse Leraar in een klein dorpje in Botswana. Will Randall travels with a purpose, as well as an outrageous sense of fortune. In Indian Summer he found himself, by chance, having the extraordinary experience of helping slum schoolchildren put on a play to help save their school. In Botswana he was taken up by a headmaster to teach a class of six year olds at The River of Life school. They are football crazy and one of Will's jobs is to take them to play neighbouring (sometimes as much as 100 miles away) schools. Camping en-route or staying in farms and rural villages, often travelling by foot or dug-out punts, thousands of antelope, elephant, buffalo and zebra follow their progress. The sound of lions, leopards and hyenas become the soundtrack of their dreams. Against all the odds they find themselves preparing for the Grand Final of the season - the titanic clash with arch rivals, Victoria Falls Primary school.Both an endearing personal story and a travel book about a little-known but highly successful country. ...
