The waters of the Okavango Delta in Botswana are subject to seasonal flooding that increase its area from 3,500 to over 6,500 square miles. With its abundance of water, it supports a large concentration of wildlife. Visitors may glimpse crocodiles, lions, elephants and hippos in addition to over 400 species of birds. <img src="http://blstb.msn.com/i/11/B793168FDFEC969F922C43A421E1AE.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Niagara Falls Niagara Falls was created by the same glacial activity that formed the Great Lakes 10,000 years ago. A popular tourist destination, especially for honeymooners, the falls are on the border of the U.S. and Canada. Horseshoe Falls, on the Canadian side, is about 2,600 feet wide, while the American Falls is 1,060 feet wide. Both face the Canadian shore, so the best views are available from the Canadian side of the Niagara River. For over a century, numerous daredevils have attempted to challenge the falls. Tightrope walkers, jumpers and, in 1901, the first person in a barrel — a schoolteacher from Michigan — have all risked the plunge. <img src="http://blstb.msn.com/i/1A/71234AFED22EC87EBBA653A470B6EA.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Cappadocia This region of Turkey features strange rock formations that some have called "fairy chimneys." Over the last 60 million years, Cappadocia has been shaped by geologic and volcanic events as well as weathering and erosion, creating these monoliths. Almost 2,000 years ago, Christians carved their first churches into these stones. <img src="http://blstb.msn.com/i/3A/E3F52C2DD45C91C2FCCD2F06EE4A4.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Mont Blanc Western Europe's highest mountain, at 15,781 feet, lies between Italy and France in the Alps mountain range. The two countries are connected by both a 7 1/4-mile tunnel beneath the mountain, and a gondola across the nearby 12,600-foot Aiguille du Midi Mountain. Known as "the white lady" (La Dame Blanche in French; Monte Bianco in Italian), Mont Blanc is popular with climbers, skiers and snowboarders. In 2007, Europe's highest portable toilets were installed at 14,000 feet, aiming to serve 30,000 visitors annually. <img src="http://blstb.msn.com/i/4F/F1970F038F5536C297274393191.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Kalahari Desert Covering parts of Botswana, Namibia and South Africa, the 350,000-square-mile Kalahari features a number of game preserves that are home to hyenas, lions, meerkats and antelopes, among other species of birds and reptiles that inhabit the region. Although called a desert, portions of the Kalahari receive more than 9.8 inches of precipitation per year — the normal standard for classifying a desert. courtesy of <a href="http://guides.travel.msn.com//Guides/MSNTravelSlideShow.aspx?cp-documentid=991311&imageindex=1" target="_blank">msn travel</a> </blockquote>
