As I say here, even if up to 70% of Botswana's territory is occupied by the Kalahari Desert, the country has a spectacular abundance of wildlife. Species diversity is not particularly spectacular, compared to other regions in southern Africa, but the conservation areas are among the most popular ecotourist destinations in this part of the continent. A total of 30.2% of Botswana is protected for wildlife, which is a high percentage by Africa standards. In the postcard are families of the most known animal species in the country: Burchell's zebra; giraffe; hippos; elephant; cheetah; Chacma baboon; lion.
