Botswana

Botswana = Physical Features: = The landlocked nation of Botswana is located above South Africa and is bordered on the west by Namibia and on the northeast by Zimbabwe. The country’s permanent water sources are limited to three rivers: Chobe, Okavango in the northwest and the Limpopo, the Limpopo borders to South Africa in the southeast. Much of the country is desert or near desert, but the terrain also includes the swampland of the Okavango Delta in the west as well as a central plateau. With self made "canoes" you can drive over the Okavango Delta. One of the three biggest water falls is in Botswana, which are called „Victoria Falls“. I think it is one of the most interesting physical features of Botswana. I want to travel to the „Victoria Falls” with you, because it is a very famous place in Botswana and when you see it it feels like you are in another world.When we are finished with that we will travel to the Okavango Delta.
