About Botswana
Much of Botswana's population is focused on a narrow eastern strip or corridor which separates it from the majority of the country's wild landscape devoid of roads and covered with savannas, wetlands, salt pans, and deserts. It is a country of diverse natural rugged features that may be more suited to the high endurance traveler and hiker.
