Bird Watching in Botswana is basically conducted on a large scale at the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, which is the largest game reserve in the world. Bird watching can also be enjoyed at the fantastically bird rich river of Chobe at the Chobe National Park, the world famous Kalahari Desert and the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans and the largest inland delta of Okavango. Bird Watching in Botswana is perhaps the most popular and the vastly enjoyed sport of the country.

The Chobe National Park is said to have recorded more than four hundred and fifty different bird species surrounding the regions of the rivers of Linyanti and Chobe in bird watching at Botswana. Some of the rare varieties of birds found in the Chobe region during Bird Watching in Botswana include saddle-billed storks, pink-backed pelicans, long-toed plovers, African skimmers, jewel-like carmine bee-eaters and Bradfield's hornbills. The twittering of Heuglin's robin is a treat to the ears during early morning.

The Okavango Delta is another perfect destination for bird watching in Botswana. The Pel's fishing owl, African skimmer, bat hawk, white-backed night heron, wood owl, carmine bee-eater colonies and narina trogon offer the best sights of watching birds in Botswana.

There are wide ranges of accommodation options available for interested tourists, which include everything from staying at luxury hotels or fly-in camps to simple lodges.
