Some ideas of what to do at the Phakalane Hotel

Golf Course
An International standard 18 hole championship golf course designed by DDV Design Group - Douw van der Merwe. The golf course was started in April 2000 and completed in June 2002. The course consists of 15 Dams, 75 Bunkers and the average size of the Greens is 700m2. There are 3 permanent ablution facilities with refrigerated water as well as a driving range. The country club estate has the largest Pro Shop in Botswana. A club membership is offered to residents and non-residents.

Bird Watching
Botswana is a particularly rewarding birding destination. Hot spots here include the Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park. Over 450 bird species have been recorded in the area, and in the vicinity of the Chobe and Linyanti rivers visitors can watch saddle-billed storks, long-toed plovers, pink-backed pelicans, African skimmers, Bradfield's hornbills and the jewel-like carmine bee-eaters. Heuglin's robin is a delight to hear in the early morning.

Game Viewing
It might seem like a bit of a bland statement to say that the number one experience in Botswana is game-viewing, but that really is the case. Unlike other countries where a good safari is often more of a combination of travel, landscape, people and wildlife, here in Botswana the other three elements are virtually absent and the focus is very much on the flora and fauna. For people whose safari ambition is heavily focused on game-viewing, then Botswana has to be top of the list.

Boating, Canoeing and Mokoro
In some areas, boating is one of the activities on offer. You can travel out into the surrounding areas by boat looking for wild game, birds and at the general scenery. You can even fish in certain areas. In Botswana you will have the opportunity to explore the Okavango Delta by mokoro (traditional dugout canoes). There is no better way to relax in the wilderness than a mokoro trip through the Okavango Delta .

Botswana
Easily accessible from Johannesburg, Windhoek and Victoria Falls; Botswana is a magnificent country with many wonderful highlights for the intrepid traveler.

Botswana is a land of staggering beauty with a small population; it is ideally located in the heart of Southern Africa. It is bordered in the north and west by Namibia, in the east by Zimbabwe and South Africa is its southern neighbour.

Its beauty lies in its wilderness, wildlife and cultural diversity. From the crystal-clear waters of the Okavango Delta also known as the 'jewel of the Kalahari' with its variety of wildlife and aquatic birds to the large herds of elephant and buffalo in the Chobe National Park to the dry savannah of the Savuti Channel with its ever present predators and migrating zebra.

Its topography consists almost entirely of the Kalahari Basin although there are some granite intrusions in the eastern and southern part of the country.
