DESTINATION OVERVIEW

Botswana

Nicknamed “The African Miracle”, Botswana is one of the most prosperous and peaceful countries on the continent. As far as tourism is concerned, the country is gradually opening up to the world, but most of it is barely explored, with 40% of its area dedicated to wildlife. The destination was previously considered only by affluent customers, with its luxury lodges only accessible by charter flights in regions such as the Okavango Delta. However, in recent years, government and private sector investments have helped to develop cheaper infrastructure, and Botswana is becoming famous for activities like camping. Its exceptional natural heritage makes it an ideal destination for nature lovers, to explore responsibly, with respect for conservation and the environment.

Gweta’s Baobabs

In the vicinity of Gweta, a small village located approximately 205 km from Maun, there are baobabs which have the status of national monuments. Greens Baobab was named after the hunter and trader Frederick Thomas Green in the 19th century. About 11 km further south of Green’s Baobab is the much more impressive Chapman Baobab, which is 25 m in circumference and was historically used as a navigation beacon. It was also used as an old post office by explorers, traders and passing travelers, many of whom left inscriptions on its chest. On January 7, 2016, Chapman’s Baobab fell. It is not yet known what caused his fall or whether the tree is still alive.
