Botswana is a country with a surface area of 581,730 km2 . It lies in southern Africa, landlocked between Namibia to the west and north, Zimbabwe to the east and South Africa to the south. It also shares a short border with Zambia to the north. The country is mainly covered by the Kalahari Desert, which shapes its arid and semi-arid climate.
It has a population of around 2.6 million, concentrated mainly in urban areas such as the capital, Gaborone, and Francistown.
Famous for its nature reserves, Botswana is a top destination for safari enthusiasts. Moremi National Park, the Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Chobe National Park are among the country’s jewels. During the dry season, these areas are home to an exceptional density of wildlife, including elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos, etc., as well as a wide variety of birds.
Botswana’s economy is essentially based on the exploitation of its vast diamond deposits. Ranked first among African countries in terms of governance and transparency, the country is often cited as the least corrupt on the African continent.
The tourism industry helps to diversify Botswana’s economy, sometimes replacing traditional sources of income such as diamond mining and beef, and is the basis for a large number of jobs.
Central Kalahari Game Reserve
The Central Kalahari Nature Reserve takes its name from the local Tswana word “kgala”, meaning “great thirst”. The reserve covers an area of over 50,000 km2, most of which is inaccessible, particularly in the south.
In this arid landscape, you can observe large concentrations of wildebeest, oryx and springbok, and if you’re lucky, on your journey through the heart of this vast reserve, you may catch a glimpse of Kalahari black-maned lions, brown hyena and many other predators…
