Tourist relaxing on the Okavango Delta!
It could be YOU!!!
come to Botswana!
Botswana is a land-locked nation centred in Sub-Saharan Africa with an impressive biodiversity comprised of both desert (the Kgalagadi / Kalahari of central and western districts) and wetlands (the Okavango Delta and Chobe region of the north). This region of 600,370 km2 is encircled by the neighbouring nations of Namibia to the west, Zambia to the north, Zimbabwe to the east, and South Africa to the south.
Botswana's terrain is predominantly flat with gently rolling hills and occasionally rocky tablelands, its highest point reached at the Tsodilo Hills (1,489 m). The country's climate is semiarid, and the Kalahari Desert is, thus, characterized by plentiful bush flora and fauna.
As in all of Africa, land sustains life. Botswana's natural resources - diamonds, copper, nickel, salt, soda ash, potash, coal, iron ore and silver - generate much national revenue, particularly in the diamond mining industry. Cattle-rearing is the most significant agricultural enterprise. Small farmers rely on cattle, goats, sheep, maize, sorghum, beans, peanuts, cottonseed and other dry land crops. Beef exports to Europe represent Botswana's second largest income generator, and the booming tourism industry, currently third, may soon overtake the beef industry as the nation seeks to diversify its economy.
