Botswana: Okavango Delta, Chobe, Northern Kalahari, 2nd: The Bradt Travel Guide
"There can be few people better qualified to write a travel guide on Botswana than Chris McIntyre...Like all good guide books, this is packed with all kinds of practical and wide-ranging advice - from driving near elephants to maps with GPS references and how to shake hands Botswana style...What's more, even the nuts-and-bolts sections are well-written and make enjoyable reading. In particular, the region-by-region chapters on the country's reserves, camps and lodges had me longing to jump on the first plane to Maun. Each area is painstakingly described - clearly the result of meticulous first-hand research...If you can take only one book to Botswana, make sure it's this one."  BBC Wildlife "...gives a complete coverage of this unique ecosystem and its bird and plant life." NHBS (Natural History Book Services) "The definitive guide for wildlife enthusiasts."
