Botswana, Southern Africa discovered by the European public through certain television shows or conferences. Stories about animals, prolific discoveries of the Okavango Delta where the waters disappeared, Kavango River flowing from Angola and dying, evaporated, drunk by the thirsty sands of the Kalahari, awareness programs on free peoples, and the last Bushmen. But who really knows Botswana? British Bechuanaland protectorate until 1966, the country gained in quiet independence. The discovery of diamond fields in depth, Orapa changed the country’s economy. More than 70% of foreign exchange comes from these rich deposits.
The prosperity of this country is also due to its political stability. Therefore, the Pula currency, became one of the strongest African currency. Botswana is a country easily accessible to travel alone or with modest financial means. The government, by setting excessive fees, hopes to limit the negative effects of mass tourism, as can be seen elsewhere. It remains, however, that if your means allow you to access a tour, you will not regret the expense incurred.
Indeed, the abundance and diversity of wildlife in Botswana is one of the last refuges of true wilderness.
