Botswana is a land of contrasts and striking beauty......

It is undoubtedly one of the world's most exciting holiday destinations. It is landlocked and straddles the Tropic of Capricorn in the centre of the Southern African plateau between latitudes 17 and 27 and longitudes 20 and 30 east. It is bordered by South Africa in the south and southeast, Zambia and Zimbabwe in the northeast and east, and Namibia in the north and west. The natural beauty of Botswana is found in its land formations, its wilderness, wildlife and its cultural diversity.




The land is flat, with gentle undulations and occasional rocky outcrops.

Botswana's economic progress since independence has been one of the few success stories of the African continent. Twenty years ago, the country was one of the 20 poorest countries in the world. Today, it is considered the richest non-oil producing country in Africa. It is also home to the increasingly popular series The First Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith.
