Travel Diversity
Botswana is a landlocked country, South Africa is to the south/southeast, and Zimbabwe is to the northeast, Namibia to the west and north and Zambia which is only just touching Botswana. Botswana stretches about 1100km east to west and 980km north or south. Botswana had a population of plus minus 1.6 Million people.
Cultural Diversity
There are not very many cultural groups in Botswana; the most popular one is the Tswana/ Setswana people. The smaller groups are the Kalanga and the Basarwa people.
African Nature
There is a lot to see in Botswana, lots of different kinds of activities to partake in and sites to see. The sites I talk about here are all different kinds of national or game parks. The Okavango delta, this river cuts through the centre of the Kalahari Desert and with just one canoe ride you get to experience all that nature has on offer. Every wildlife animal that lives here is after some supply of water and that is when you get to sit in your canoe and watch the water’s edge as the animals flock there to get a drink. The Chobe National Park is home to over 120 000 elephants, it’s a must to go and see. A very popular activity in Botswana is off road racing. Safari walks, game drives, quad biking, boating down rivers and for relaxation there is lounging in the sun on a deck at a lodge overlooking the Okavango delta or there is memorabilia shopping and so many more other things to par take in.
Kalahari Desert
The Kalahari Desert takes up about 84% of Botswana. The Kalahari Desert isn’t a true desert as such but more like a thirsty land as it gets enough rainfall. The Kalahari Desert isn’t just one large heap of sand spaced out over 2 countries (Botswana and Namibia); the desert has got a variety of fauna and flora.
General Information about Botswana
English is Botswana’s most common spoken language, making travelling a lot easier. When you plan your trip to Botswana make sure you plan it over their autumn and winter months, April to August. The weather is just right and the days are enjoyable, as during December and March Botswana have their heavier rain fall season and there summer is hot.
World Heritage Site
Tsodilo is located in the Kalahari Desert in Botswana. Tsodilo is known for having over 4,500 rock paintings in an area. The rock art depicts wildlife and shows a unique record of human settlement that took place many years ago.

The Fish River Canyon is a great hiking destination, with many hiking trails. Most of the hikes are not for the out of shape person as some take up to 4 days to complete.

When I went to Lesotho I stayed at a friend’s house in the city of Maseru but then when we decided to through the mountain passes we went to stay in mud huts right next to a tribal camp. Looking back at my experience I think I am really blessed to have had this opportunity. To be able to experience everything that I have spoken about. I never felt unsafe once. There was no electricity or shower facility. We had to use the waterfall that was about a 10 minute walk away to be able to shower and freshen up. Obviously your experience doesn’t have to be like mine, not everyone want s an adventure so crazy but there are other alternative places to stay at. There are loads of difference accommodation facilities in Lesotho for all your needs, from camping to 5 star lodges. Some really cool places I have heard about are The
