Picturesque Botswana is a visual memento of one of Africa's most scenically diverse countries. Photographs of the Okavango Delta, the world's largest inland delta whose waterways fan out into the desiccated Kalahari, and the fertile floodplains of the nearby Linyanti-Chobe system.
Picturesque Botswana is a visual memento of one of Africa's most scenically diverse countries. Photographs of the Okavango Delta, the world's largest inland delta whose waterways fan out into the desiccated Kalahari, and the fertile floodplains of the nearby Linyanti-Chobe system are contrasted with the stark beauty of the arid wilderness that is the rest of the country: the remote Tsodilo Hills whose cliff faces are adorned with San rock paintings dating back thousands of years; the salt-encrusted pans of Makgadikgadi; the rugged but striking countryside of the Tuli Block; and the wide open expanse of the Kalahari, home to a settlement of San people who manage to forge an existence in this unforgiving thirstland. In this land of contrast, a dazzling array of wildlife, both animals and birds, thrive in the game-rich sanctuaries that have made Botswana a top tourist destination for decades. Picturesque Botswana is part of the Picturesque series of small, full-colour souvenir books.

Mike Main has spent 30 years exploring Botswana and its neighbours. A freelance writer and management consultant, he is also the author of Kalahari, Culture Smart, Botswana and African Adventurer's Guide to Botswana. When not travelling, he lives in Gaborone.
