About Botswana

Botswana stretches across the dry heart of southern Africa, most of it blanketed by the sands of the Kalahari. Yet its greatest marvel is water: the Okavango Delta, a vast inland oasis teeming with elephants, lions, and hippos. Independent since 1966 and governed from Gaborone, Botswana turned diamond wealth into decades of stability, earning a reputation as one of Africa's quiet success stories.

• ·The Okavango Delta is a river delta that never reaches the sea: its waters fan out and vanish into the sands of the Kalahari.
• ·Botswana's currency is the pula, a word meaning 'rain,' one of the most precious things in this largely desert nation.
• ·One citizen of Botswana is a Motswana, several are Batswana, and the main language is Setswana, all built on the same root word, Tswana.
