An impressive 70% of Botswana is cloaked by the Kalahari Desert and yet, it is home to an intriguing diversity in nature and cultures. With a history topping 200,000 years, this Southern African nation not only holds fascinating Tswana tribal legacies but also showcases the robust, transformative optimism of a country that leaped from being one of the world’s poorest to an upper-middle-income nation, driven by robust industries like mining, cattle rearing and, not surprisingly, tourism.

Botswana was once part of the British Empire, bearing the title of Bechuanaland until it took on the mantle of an independent Republic in 1966. Today, it stands proud as the world's leading diamond producer and flaunts one of the highest GDPs per capita in Sub-Saharan Africa. It's not just natural and economic wonders that make Botswana stand out – the nation also boasts commendable efforts in combating the HIV/AIDS epidemic, showing its dedication to the well-being of its 2.3 million inhabitants.

When to visit Botswana

While the call of the wild rings true throughout the year in Botswana, the dry season from May to October offers the greatest viewing potential. This is when the legendary Okavango Delta swells to its fullest, drawing a magnificent array of wildlife to its siren allure. For those desiring a more verdant picture, the green season, stretching from November to April, paints a landscape full of lush foliage and joyous moments of animals welcoming their young. Despite having the peak season attract more crowds, each month in Botswana offers unique animal sightings and varying vistas, truly a year-round wildlife haven.
