While Namibia and South Africa have variety and Zambia and Zimbabwe have the Victoria Falls, Botswana is home to my favourite park in Southern Africa, Moremi Game Reserve. A trip to Africa is not complete without camping in the wilds of Moremi. The sounds of the animals around you at night is magic!

Background Information »

Botswana, officially the Republic of Botswana (Tswana: Lefatshe la Botswana), is a landlocked nation in Southern Africa. Formerly the British protectorate of Bechuanaland, Botswana adopted its new name after becoming independent within the Commonwealth on September 30, 1966. It is bordered by South Africa to the south and southeast, Namibia to the west, Zambia to the north, and Zimbabwe to the northeast. The economy, closely tied to South Africa's, is dominated by mining (especially diamonds), cattle, and tourism. The country is named after its largest ethnic group, the Tswana.
