Botswana's riches

Botswana has much to offer. I especially loved the Okavango Delta. There is an excellent tourism infrastructure. The country is making sustainable tourism a priority by educating its workers (everyone at our camps had a tourism degree), phasing out trophy hunting (which brings in millions) and involving the local tribes. One of our camps was run by the bushmen. They benefited from the tourism and had a vested interest in conservation, which meant a win win for both the locals and the animals. The people I interacted with were educated, proud and passionate. I look forward to returning!
