Luxury Tourism In Botswana

MAUN, BOTSWANA - JUNE 18: The Okavango delta is seen outside Jao Luxury Safari Camp on June 18, 2010 in Maun, Botswana. Camps run by Wilderness Safaris such as Jao and Kingspool situated deep in the water land of Botswana's Okavango delta rely on high-end luxury tourism with rooms costing upwards of USD 800 per person, per night in peak season. It has always been the policy of Botswana to concentrate on low volume, high value tourism, However with the recent economic downturn many of the lodges are suffering with a lack of bookings. The Okavango Delta (or Okavango Swamp), in Botswana, is the world's largest inland delta and is home to an abundance of wildlife. (Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images)
