Botswana is a land-locked country located in Southern Africa and bordering on Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia.
Botswana is famous for its wildlife, areas like the Chobe National Park, Moremi National Park in the Okavango Delta and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve have a very high concentration of game.
The bulk of the Kalahari desert falls within Botswana's borders and Botswana is home to most of the world's San (bushman) population.
The economy, one of the most robust on the continent, is dominated by diamond mining and tourism.
Talk in Botswana, Southern Africa
===========================
The official languages of Botswana are English and Tswana. Kalanga is spoken near the Zimbabwe border areas, and is similar to Shona.
The language of business in Botswana is English and most people in urban areas speak it, although in the more rural areas many people do not speak English, particularly the older generations. The primary indigenous tongue is Tswana, and is the first language of the overwhelming majority of the population. It is not difficult to learn basic greetings and such, and using these in conversation will make people very happy.
See in Botswana, Southern Africa
============================
Wildlife is Botswana's main draw. Wildlife parks compose nearly one-fifth of the country. In these parks you will find lions, cheetahs, crocodiles, hippos, elephants, antelope, wild dogs, and hundreds of species of birds. Visitors can take safaris and stay in lodges running the gamut from inexpensive dorms for backpackers with tour buses to $1,000+/night private lodges with your own maid & driver.
Among southern Africa's most impressive—and popular—wildlife destinations is the Okavango Delta where the Okavango River widens into the world's largest inland delta. Lying in the middle of the arid Kalahari, the swamps & water channels attract animals from thousands of kilometers around and triples in size (to 100 000 sq. km.!) during floods in July and August. Nearby Chobe National Park has a large population of elephants and it's also easy to spot many of Africa's well-known species, especially zebras and lions. The bleak salt pans of Makgadikgadi Pans National Park attract a large number and variety of birds year-round. Other great game parks include Nxai Pan National Park, Mokolodi Nature Reserve, & Gemsbok National Park.
Most of the native tribes in Botswana only dress in traditional outfits and perform rituals for tourists. Nevertheless, for the culture-cravers, the villages of D'Kar and Xai-Xai have many offerings, including arts, crafts, and the opportunity to participate in various rituals. Tsodilo Hills contain one of the largest collections of rock art on the continent.
Buy in Botswana, Southern Africa
===========================
Botswana's currency is the pula', often locally symbolised as P; its ISO 4217 code is BWP placed directly before the amount with no intervening space.
Banknotes circulate in denominations of BWP10, BWP20, BWP50, BWP100 and BWP200. You can find 5, 10, 25, and 50 thebe coins, together with BWP1, BWP2 and BWP5 pieces and 100 thebe equals one pula. In Setswana, pula means rain and thebe means shield. Rough conversions were BWP10.61=USD1, BWP11.35=€1, BWP13.13=GBP1 and BWP0.78=ZAR1 in Jan 2017.
Shopping
For the independent traveller prices in Botswana compare to neighbouring South Africa. Notable exceptions are petrol and diesel which are about a third cheaper in Botswana, and alcohol, which is about a third more expensive.
Eat in Botswana, Southern Africa
==========================
Indigenous Botswana cuisine is similar to the rest of southern Africa and offers little to inspire. Beef is taken seriously and can be of exceptional quality. The braai is a popular cuisine.
Stay safe
===========
People in Botswana are very friendly and the crime rate is low. There isn't much to worry about on this front. Nevertheless, crime has been on the rise over the past several years, so always be aware of your surroundings. Basic common sense will keep you safe from the predatory wildlife in rural areas. Botswana happens to be one of the safest countries in Africa, no civil war, less corruption, human rights, no natural disasters e.g earthquakes or tsunamis.

A Holidaymaker's Guide to South Africa's Wild Coast
The weather's always good on the Wild Coast, and there's so much to explore - all the better when you're on foot!
You can do a river mouth hopping up and down the coast, or nestle yourself in an isolated hamlet like Hluleka Nature Reserve or Umngazi River Mouth.
At the heart of the Wild Coast lies the pastures and beaches of Coffee Bay, where a certain rock marvel has been luring travellers to its shores for decades.
But what makes this stretch of coast especially unique is its people - where isiXhosa traditions are shared with visitors and help communities thrive through cultural tourism.

Durban Beachfront South Africa - Interesting facts
Durban Beachfront Promenade South Africa interesting facts
Walkers, cyclists and joggers make daily use of the Durban beachfront promenade, a paved walkway linking Blue Lagoon in the north with Addington in the south. Park anywhere along the route and take a leisurely stroll with many like-minded individuals who're out to enjoy the sea breeze and sunshine.
Durban (eThekwini) is justifiably proud of its Golden Mile – a stretch of some of the safest swimming beaches in South Africa.
A wonderful legacy of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ is the imposing Moses Mabhida Stadium, from which a meandering brick-paved promenade stretches north to Blue Lagoon and south to Addington Beach.
Durban’s beachfront promenade is well patronised by early morning joggers, cyclists, pram-pushing mums, dog-walking seniors and a host of walkers who love taking in the fresh, salt-laden morning breeze.
Both southern and northern beaches attract thousands throughout the year with waves ideal for swimming, surfing and body-boarding.
You’ll pass a number of piers along Durban’s beachfront, most of which are used daily by anglers, and there's a host of hotels overlooking the beachfront.
The first South African Surfing Championships took place in Durban in 1966.

Top 10 Beach Cities of the World.
A beach is one of the most go-to destinations of children and adults alike. It is typical scenery to see people crowding in the seashore every summer. When the sun is up, expect numbers of visitors sprawling at the beach with their sun blocks and gears on.
Life’s a beach! To some, beach is no fun compared to hiking, trekking and skydiving. But to many, life in the beach is full of adventure. From sea adventures like snorkeling to surfing, scuba diving, jet skiing, parasailing, and motor boating, the beach could also offer land adventures like beach volleyball, beach mini golf, Frisbee and many more.
When you are tired of the usual city life with high-rise buildings and air pollution, if you want to cool off and unwind from the stressful work, run off to the beach. Pack your swimming gears and go straight off to the inviting crystal-clear emerald water and have a swim. Go ahead, relax, enjoy and unwind only after you spot the perfect destination in the list of the top ten beach cities in the world, according to the National Geographic.
