Cultural History – The San People (Bushmen) still live their timeless way of life in various parts of this country and their ancient rock art is widespread
San rock paintings can be seen in certain areas, including Tsodilo Hills - recently proclaimed a World Heritage Site, - and featuring 3 500 paintings and an abundance of magnificent San rock art.

Botswana is a magnificent country with many wonderful highlights for the intrepid traveller.

Botswana is a land of staggering beauty with a small population; it is ideally located in the heart of Southern Africa. It is bordered in the north and west by Namibia, in the east by Zimbabwe and South Africa is its southern neighbour.

Its beauty lies in its wilderness, wildlife and cultural diversity. From the crystal-clear waters of the Okavango Delta also known as the 'jewel of the Kalahari' with its variety of wildlife and aquatic birds to the large herds of elephant and buffalo in the Chobe National Park to the dry savannah of the Savuti Channel with its ever present predators and migrating zebra. Its topography consists almost entirely of the Kalahari Basin although there are some granite intrusions in the eastern and southern part of the country.

Visitors are guaranteed a wonderfully unique safari adventure!
