Botswana is known to be the safest country in Africa. It has one of the lowest crime rates on the continent. The country is financially and politically stable and the people are very gentle and peace-loving. If clients have a full itinerary of places they are visiting in Africa we always recommend they leave their valuables at home so that they can just get on and enjoy their trip without worrying about their whereabouts. You really don’t need jewelry or fancy things in Africa. Your greatest treasure will be your smile and your willingness to share it. It should give guests added peace of mind that our lodges have never ever experienced any form of crime whatsoever.

Botswana is an African country located toward the southern tip of Africa. It’s bordered by Zimbabwe, Namibia and South Africa and shares a very short border with Zambia. It boasts one of the sparest populations in the world but ranks 47 th in the world for sheer area size. 79% of the population is indigenous to Botswana and are known as Tswana. Major minority ethnic groups include the Kalanga and the San. There are about 10,000 San who still live the hunter-gatherer lifestyle – you can find out more about them and their fascinating lives when you visit the Tsodilo Hills from Nxamaseri Island Lodge.
