The Botswana, a former British protectorate of the Bechuanaland, (area greater than the size of France) with only approx. 1.3 million inhabitants, of which the nomads Bushmen in the mysterious Kalahari desert.

The majority of the population, mostly rural, focuses on the borders of South Africa and Zimbabwe. (continental country, Botswana also adjoins the Namibia and touches the Zambia, in the north, at the confluence of the Zambezi and the Chobe river.)

The cities, and first of all Gabarone, (capital), are not without interest, but they are used before any of the springboard for the major attraction of Botswana: 17% of the territory dedicated to the conservation of wildlife and nature in general.

You can browse the places in dugout, but do not take a crocodile which makes its NAP for a tree trunk floating….
