Things to do in Botswana

Short guide to Botswana

Botswana is a nature lover´s paradise.

Despite the fact that the country is almost dry enough to be technically classified as a dessert (much like Australia), one of the most popular places for visitors to Botswana is the Okavango wetlands. Covering around fifteen thousand kilometres, the wetlands are home to a staggering array of wildlife and ecosystems. The government have wisely protected this area: Understanding that the wetland´s biggest benefit to Botswana, besides its massive contribution of oxygen to the atmosphere (thanks to its extensive variety of water weeds), is the economic and social influence of tourism. Bird watchers, in particular, are drawn to the wetlands: Owls, eagles, vultures, herons and cranes all call the wetlands home and the Okavango sustains a number of rare and endangered birds species.

Botswana, with a tiny population of less than two million that is mostly clustered near the South-Eastern cities of Francistown and Gaborone, the capital, also boasts the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park. This extraordinary park covers more than 85% of Botswana and is home to the Kalahari people, a tiny but fascinating minority who incorporate glottal clicks into their language and live in small groups on the Kalahari plains.

If you are visiting Botswana, don´t miss the Khama Rhino Sanctuary. A tribal initiative to save the last six rhinos left in the wild in Botswana, their numbers have grown by 500% and your support will not only keep the sanctuary thriving but will also delight you with an up-close experience with one of Africa´s most bad-tempered animals.
