Reflections on Botswana

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.
