Botswana is very big and very flat, and we have only just
scratched the surface seeing a tiny fraction of it on this trip. Despite its scarcity
in places, at the end of the dry season, the wildlife has still been truly
stunning and we can only guess at how many more elephants, lions and leopard you
might be able to see in the wetter seasons of the year.
It is one of the friendliest countries we’ve been to, both
baboons and snakes have taken a fancy to Jane. The “Batswana” people we have
met have been very welcoming and are immensely proud of being “Batswana” and of their country and
whilst there are still problems to be solved it is truly an African success
story with stable government, an educated population and a growing economy.
Whilst our time here is at an end we look forward to coming
back again and wish Botswana all the best for its 50th anniversary
of independence next year.
