Everything from Botswana
Botswana is a landlocked country in Southern Africa, bordered by South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Zambia. Its geography is dominated by the Kalahari Desert, while the Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, provides lush wetlands. Historically, the Tswana people established kingdoms before the area became the British protectorate of Bechuanaland. Botswana gained independence in 1966 and developed into one of Africa’s most stable democracies.
With a population of about 2.6 million, the country has leveraged diamond mining and tourism to build a growing economy. The capital city, Gaborone, is the political and economic hub. Botswana is recognized for its strong wildlife conservation policies, with large populations of elephants and protected reserves like Chobe National Park. Its blend of traditional culture and modern governance has made it a success story in the region.
Botswana is a country in the region Sandalsand has defined as the Middle East and Africa. There are introductions to this region and other regions in the Destinations menu.
