Botswana is one of Africa's most stable states and is an example of this continent's exemplary democracy. Botswana is well known for having some of the best wilderness and wildlife areas on the African continent, with a full 38 percent of its total land area devoted to national parks, reserves and wildlife management areas. Tourists will be impressed by the natural scenery of the Okavango Delta or the Chobe National Park with a huge concentration of elephants. Botswana is the last stronghold for a number of endangered bird and mammal species, including Wild Dog, Cheetah, Brown Hyena, Cape Vulture, Wattled Crane, Kori Bustard, and Pel’s Fishing Owl.
