Reasons Why You Should Visit Botswana

The country is currently ranked 29th on the 2018 Global Peace Index. Only a few countries in the world have enjoyed the level of peace that Botswana continues to enjoy. The people are warm and they treat all visitors as family.

Holiday resorts run by companies such as Wilderness Safaris in this part of Southern Africa understand that their clients only want the best, and are not afraid to pay for these exclusive experiences.

One of the things that visitors to the country are bound to enjoy is seeing the tour guides doing what they know best. The tour guides take their job very seriously, and guests will be treated to a uniquely memorable experience.

Only a few countries have bragging rights to this title, and Botswana is lucky to be among them. Offering clients an impressive and diverse safari adventure, the African wildlife is abundant in Botswana.

Whether one is enjoying the sunset in the vastness that is the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, or sipping cocktails aboard a boat in the Chobe River, all visitors will be enchanted by the beautiful sights and sounds of Botswana. The best time to enjoy this beauty is during the rainy season when the landscape is green, and the wildlife comes out to play. But if you are planning a trip to the salt pans, the best times to visit is in winter, when the pans are dry.

Safety is one of the factors that many tourists and travellers who are about to part with their hard earned cash consider when it comes to picking their holiday destination. So compared to other places in the world, Botswana tops the list of the safest countries in the world. As much as the country is safe, World Nomads advises tourists to exercise necessary precaution and avoid calling unnecessary attention to themselves lest they become victims.

The former president of Botswana, Seretse Khama, once proclaimed that a nation without culture is a lost nation, and Botswana is far from being that. Batswana are very proud of their culture, and it is something that they share with the many guests who visit the country every year. With various tribes making up the nation of Botswana, many Batswana are still steadfast when it comes to their culture and maintain traditions that were practised many years ago.
