BOTSWANA In a Nutshell A classic safari destination with outstanding game viewing and sensational scenery in a vast, unspoilt wilderness. Botswana is exclusive (with a policy of high cost/low impact tourism) and relatively upmarket and expensive as most of the parks are accessed by air. A politically stable country, it is also one of the wealthiest in Africa due to its diamond industry and it is a safe and secure tourist destination.Climate
