Botswana is a bit of an anomaly amongst the
African nations, in that fortune has actually
smiled on it. Soon after its independence in
the 1960’s, extensive diamond deposits were
discovered.
The resulting income has transformed the
country into a stable & efficient economy,
with a modern efficient infrastructure around
the principal areas of population.
However, away from the cities, it is largely
open savannah, and the sand of the Kalahari
Desert. Roads here are not maintained well,
and are relatively few and far between. To
travel in these areas is difficult & expensive,
but the pay off is unique scenery, abundant
wildlife, and friendly people.
The Chobe National Park, near the Zambian
border, is the best known. Here you can find
not only the ‘big five’, but also take trips on
the many rivers. These are a great way to
witness zebra, wildebeest, & antelope, amid
colourful bird life, and beautiful landscapes.
Book the organised trips in advance, as they
can get busy in the busy times of the year.
This has been increased with the success of
the BBC television drama, ‘The Number One
Ladies Detective Agency’, which is based in
Botswana.
