BOTSWANA
AFRICA’S FINEST, NATURALLY
Botswana
‘Botswana's story is one of immense success. So successful has the social, political and economic development been that you will often hear the country referred to as the 'Switzerland of Africa.'
Ian Michler - The Insider's Guide to Botswana Struik Publishing isbn 1 86872 996 6
Botswana is one of the true, remaining wilderness areas in Africa. 35% of the country is dedicated to conservation and Botswana has the 2nd largest area (in % terms) allocated to nature, of any country in the world. This is a country committed to conserving its abundant wildlife.
It is also home to one of Africa’s great natural attractions – the Okavango Delta, a wetland within a desert, getting its waters from rain failing in central Africa over 1000km away, and sustaining a huge diversity of wildlife.
