BOTSWANA
Botswana is a small country located in the southern portion
of Africa. Although it has a population of about two million people, it is one
of the most sparsely populated countries in the world because seventy percent
of the nation consists of the Kalahari Desert.
The nation has been an independent democracy since 1966. It
has been relatively free of political turmoil and democratic ideals have become
strongly rooted throughout the populace and its institutions.
The economy of Botswana is one of the strongest within the
entire continent. A consensus ranks it among the top five in Africa. This is
remarkable because at one time in recent decades it was one of the poorest
nations on earth.
The crime rate in Botswana is relatively low. The greatest
threat to American tourists has historically been minor offenses such as petty
theft
Although Botswana is primarily flat, it has a natural beauty
which is accented by large numbers of elephants, wildebeests and antelopes. A
major attraction is the Chobe National Park that contains a large variety of
indigenous animals as well as several hundred species of birds.
Tourism is encouraged by the beautiful and exotic natural
attractions of Botswana which are unavailable in most other countries of the
world. Plenty of hunting safaris as well as photography excursions are among
the most popular reasons which attract tourists. An excellent treatise on
Botswana can be found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botswana
