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.
Botswana is an African success story. It achieved independence from Britain in 1966 and in a mad stroke of luck then unearthed three of the world's richest diamond mines. Though suffering from the world's highest HIV rate, it enjoys stable governance and good educational and economic standards.

Botswana is a wild and rough wilderness. Untouched and sparsely populated, you can travel for days without seeing anyone. It’s the isolation and wild feel that has made Botswana so desired by travellers and so revered by people who attempt to cross ... Read more >
