Okavango Delta, Botswana
The most common comparison is to Eden, the Judeo-Christian forest where followers believe life on Earth began with two humans. That’s because the Delta is a unique home to a broad spectrum of fern and fauna, fed by the annual flooding of the land. In Botswana, the Okavango River flows into the Kalahari Desert starting in March, forming a fan of wetland anywhere from 4,000 to 9,000 square miles of delta land. After the flooding, the surrounding land turns into lush grazing zone for the near-1000 animals who thrive on the delta. When the winter consumes the plants, the animals move back to the delta in time for the annual flood. Go with a guide to Okavango. There are crocodiles and elephants about, to name a few creatures. Many of the same animals one would find in Tanzania she could find here as well. Travel requirements are similar too.
