Botswana Travel Maps - Paper Maps
Botswana Travel Map. Veronica Roodt. The map has the main map on the front and 15 additional enlarged maps of tourist areas. The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park has changed considerably since the previous edition and the area north of the Park - the Kaa Kalahari Concession - has been added as this is also a new tourist destination in Botswana. All the National Park roads have also been updated and some additional routes have been added in the Makgadikgadi Pans area. Over 300 GPS co-ordinates are supplied on these maps to make traveling easier in remote areas. Visitors are urged, however, to use these co-ordinates to stick to the main tracks and not to make shortcuts. The vegetation of Botswana is very fragile and undisciplined driving will cause tremendous damage. Shell Oil and Veronica Roodt are devoted to conservation and they trust the readers will be responsible in this respect.

Botswana National Park Travel Guidebooks
Trees & Shrubs of the Okavango Delta: Medicinal uses and nutritional value (guidebook). Veronica Roodt & Shell Oil Botswana.
This book is 220 pages long and consists of 62 color-illustrated tree and shrub species with numerous line drawings of plant species, birds, animals etc. There is an illustration of each tree or shrub mentioned as wells as separate drawings of the leaf, flower and fruit . The sixty-two plants chosen include all the common, most useful and most noticeable plants in the area. Most of the plants described in this book occur commonly elsewhere in southern Africa as well, especially in Namibia, Zimbabwe and the northern part of South Africa.
Although there is a section on the description of leaves, flowers, fruit etc., the author uses a holistic approach in the wider description of the plant. Each plant is described within its habitat and ecological niche – soil preference, habitat preference, the fauna associated with it, the animals, birds and insects that feed on it, medicinal and food values to humans, superstitious beliefs and there is even a short description on propagation. Additionally, there are fifty information ‘boxes’ which provide information on a variety of related subjects ranging from ‘How to create fire by friction’, ‘How to make palm wine’, ‘Do animals get drunk from Marula fruits?’, ‘Poisonous snakes of Botswana’, ‘Ringworm disease’ etc.
At the back of the book is a campfire quiz, providing questions and answers on information provided in the book. The quiz is in three sections, each on a different level of advancement.

Common Wildflowers of the Okavango Delta: Medicinal uses and nutritional value. Veronica Roodt & Shell Oil Botswana.
This book is 160 pages thick and the 50 species that occur most commonly in the area are discussed. Each one of these species is illustrated by a color photograph, as well as a water-color illustration. Apart from the 50 main species, there are at least 30 additional photographs of plants that occur in the area but they are not discussed in the same detail. There are numerous line drawings and extra information boxes, containing information on related subjects such as diseases, plant poisons, natural insect repellents, natural dyes etc. There are very interesting information about superstitions and traditions of the people of the Okavango.
Like in the tree book, the author has used a holistic approach, describing each species within its habitat and the purpose it serves within that habitat. Flowering herbs of the Okavango are very rich in chemicals and many of them are used medicinally. The author collected information on their medicinal and food values from the local tribes. There is also information on the habitat preference of these plants, plants associated with them, animals and birds that feed on them, insects associated, poisonous values, medicinal values, food values etc.

Wildflowers, Waterplants and Grasses of the Okavango Delta and Kalahari Guidebook. Veronica Roodt.
A handy, easy-to-use guidebook for tour guides, tourists and students - ideal for game walks and easy size to carry in a suitcase. A small pocketsized book limits the amount of information and the size of the photographs. A compromise was therefore reached by limiting the number of pages and placing three plants on a page.
There is a separate 'quick reference' photographic list of the water plants with page references on pg 6-8. The grasses were placed in a separate section (pg 98-119).
The rest of the book is colourcoded as to plant type. The book includes 322 plant species.
Each colour group is presented in alphabetical family groups starting for example with the Asteraceae and ending with Zygophyllaceae. These families are indicated in the colour strip at the bottom of the page. This arrangement has the unfortunate consequence that all the members of one family do not appear together in the book. However, on pg 3 and 4 all plants in this book are listed in their family groups, with page references.

Botswana Travel Guide. Bradt.
Botswana's Okavango Delta is a wetland paradise and a top destination in Africa for wildlife enthusiasts who will delight in the thorough coverage of this new Bradt guide. The Okavango's unique ecosystem provides a habitat for a multitude of birdlife and plants and its swampland is patrolled by hippos and crocodiles. The lure of Chobe National Park as a prime conservation area, the Linyanti Swamp, central Kalahari Game Reserve, and Tsodilo Hills with their wealth of bushman, rock art, are also covered in depth, supplying visitors with a wide range of very accessible attractions and a background to the culture and people of the region. Botswana is an ideal guide for visitors heading for lodges and safari camps, either as overlanders exploring the wilderness Botswana or those on tailor-made tours and fly-drive trips.
The author recognizes the bewildering choice facing the visitor planning a trip to this major safari destination and provides independent guidance on travel options.

Botswana Self-Drive Guidebook. Tracks4Africa. These guide books are specifically aimed at self-drive travellers that like to roam African via their own transportation. This guide advises you on matters like planning your trip, navigation, preparing your vehicle, buying the right equipment for travelling into remote areas and staying in contact with the rest of the world when you are on the road.
If you are a self-drive tourist, there are five things that you need to know when you are on the road:
Recommended! Namibia & Botswana Lodging and Camping Directory. Track4Africa. The book is printed in full colour on high quality paper and comprises 1082 listings spread over more than 250 pages. A short description is given of each travel region to help you plan your trip. We believe that this easy to use and well organised directory will enable you to find whatever type of accommodation you are looking for, be it in the most touristymost remote areas of Namibia or Botswana.
For Botswana there are total of 293 listings which is made up of 116 camp sites and 177 lodgings. Namibia has a total of 780 listings with 212 camp sites and 577 lodgings. Typical information provided for each listing includes a short description, type of accommodation, contact details, rates, facilities and activities. For out of town listings we also give the distance and estimated travel time from the town centre.
All camping and lodging listed in the guide are noted in the Tracks4Africa GPS map chip for Garmins (see elsewhere on this page for the GPS map chip). Each listing also has a grid reference for where it occurs on the paper maps, although not all listings are shown on the map due to the map scale.

Mammals of Botswana Guidebook. Veronica Roodt.
This book is a handy, easy-to-use guidebook for tour guides, tourists and students - ideal for game walks and an easy size to carry in a suitcase. A small pocket- sized book limits the amount of information and the size of the photographs, so a compromise was reached by limiting the number of pages to one page per animal.
The first section of the book (pg 3 to pg 26), provides information on the anatomy and physiology of mammals. The skeleton and skull are described in detail with photographs and illustations and there is information on skull muscles, dentition, locomotion, senses, reproduction, digestion and thermoregulation.
In the identification section (pg 27 to pg 120), one page is allocated to each animal. There is at least one photograph per animal, but where possible, two (male and female). Photographs of the droppings and skull and a sketch of the spoor are provided for each animal. The droppings were photographed with a match-stick for scale and the spoor include measurements.
Distribution maps for the Southern African subregion as well as one for Botswana accompany each animal. This will make the book useful in other areas as well. The animal names occur in English, Setswana, German, Afrikaans, Spanish, French and Italian (with only a few exceptions).
The basic information on weight, gestation, habitat, food, social structure, etc., is summarized in a separate block for each animal. The dental formula is also included in the summary and the formula is explained on pg 13. The 'Did you know?' section contains additional interesting facts about the animal.

The Safari Companion: A Guide to Watching African Mammals Including Hoofed Mammals, Carnivores, and Primates. Chelsea Green Publishing Co., 1999. Anyone who goes on safari will want to make room in his or her suitcase for this treasure. Estes, who is affiliated with Harvard University and the Smithsonian Institute as a research associate, spent over eight years doing fieldwork in Africa and over 17 years leading safaris. His admirable qualifications as an expert on the social ecology of African mammals are reflected in the text, which describes approximately 86 species of African mammals. Introductory chapters give practical advice on how to observe animals, including tips on using binoculars and photographic equipment. Other chapters are arranged by standard taxonomic classification. Estes first covers the characteristics of families and subfamilies and then goes into even more detail on the individual species, charting behaviors one can expect to see and the usual context or meaning.
Icons illustrating the behaviors effectively take the reader to a description of the behavior being observed. Appended to the text are a brief suggested reading list, addresses of major wildlife organizations, a glossary of terms, and a thorough index.

Botswana Topographic Maps
Botswana Topographic Maps - TPC/Tactical Pilotage Charts & ONC/Operational Navigation Charts. 1:500,000 & 1:1,000,000. NGA. World Aeronautical Charts, including TPC and ONC charts, cover land areas at a standard size and scale for navigation by aircraft operating at high altitudes. However, their level of detail makes them useful as topographic maps for those areas where little else is available. The topographical information includes city tints, principal roads, railroads, distinctive landmarks, drainage patterns, topography and relief. contour lines are at 500 feet intervals, with intermediate contours where appropriate, along with numerous spot heights. Color tints on a hypsometric scale are also shown. The aeronautical information includes visual and radio aids to navigation, airports, airways, restricted areas, obstructions and other pertinent data. There is less detail in some areas due to insufficient information - these areas are labelled on the charts. These are large maps, with typical size of 42 x 56 inches. Due to the size and color variation of the different print runs and the Conformal Conic Projection, these maps do not splice together well. World Aeronautical Charts are not recommended for use by pilots of low speed, low altitude aircraft.
