Beyond the narrow eastern corridor where the majority of the population is concentrated, Botswana is a largely roadless wilderness of savannas, deserts, wetlands and salt pans. Skinflints and softies beware: this remains a destination for the intrepid, well-heeled traveller.

happy-go-lucky misfits’, somewhere in the back of my mind. Luck and fate I
believe, are tools often abused, much like the name of God by agnostics whose
state ... Read more >
