The wildlife of Botswana refers to the flora and
fauna of Botswana . Botswana is around 90%
covered in savanna , varying from shrub savanna
in the southwest in the dry areas to tree
savanna consisting of trees and grass in the
wetter areas.

Even under the hot conditions of
the Kalahari Desert , many different species
survive; in fact the country has more than 2500
species of plants and 650 species of trees.

Vegetation and its wild fruits are also extremely
important to rural populations living in the
desert and are the principal source of food, fuel
and medicine for many inhabitants.

Three national parks and seven game reserves
that are wildlife shelters occupy 17% of the land
area of Botswana. The three national parks are
the Chobe National Park , the Nxai Pan and
Makgadikgadi National Park and the Kgalagadi
Transfrontier Park .

The seven game reserves are
the Central Kalahari Game Reserve , Gaborone
Game Reserve , Khutse Game Reserve ,
Mannyelanong Game Reserve , Maun Game
Reserve and Moremi Game Reserve . In addition,
a number of small privately owned reserves are
maintained.
