On the other, it has a much wider variety of sceneries with savannahs, wetlands, deserts, salt pans, hills, etc. And, if Namibia has the dunes, what can we say about the Okavango Delta\u2026 Instead of flowing to the sea, this huge river just dis<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ears inland, creating a huge inland delta and swamp.<\/p>\n<p>We will have to give this one a tie, as it really depends on what type of landscape you prefer.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"468\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/visit-Okavango-Delta.jpg\" alt=\"Namibia Or Botswana\" class=\"wp-image-6976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/visit-Okavango-Delta.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/visit-Okavango-Delta-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/visit-Okavango-Delta-768x449.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/visit-Okavango-Delta-520x304.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"468\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/visit-Okavango-Delta.jpg\" alt=\"Namibia Or Botswana\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-6976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/visit-Okavango-Delta.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/visit-Okavango-Delta-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/visit-Okavango-Delta-768x449.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/visit-Okavango-Delta-520x304.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><figcaption>Boat ride in the Okavango Delta<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tourist_attractions_and_activities\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tourist_attractions_and_activities\"><\/span>Tourist attractions and activities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Both countries have huge tourist attractions, famous worldwide, though we feel that Namibia has a bigger variety.

And, let\u2019s not forget that Swakopmund has beaches and lots of adventure activities.<\/p>\n<p>Botswana is much more focuses on the Safari experiences of the game reserves and national park, particularly in the Okavango Delta and Chobe. It has a few other things like Makgadikgadi Salt Pans or the Tsodilo hills, but they aren\u2019t as popular.<\/p>\n<p>So, Namibia wins this one due to a bigger variety.

However, between the two, the winner is easy, as Botswana is landlocked, while Namibia has a long shoreline.

In general, we think Botswana wins this one; it has more options and with higher quality.<\/p>\n<p>In Botswana, you\u2019ll find Chobe National Park, the Okavango delta, and more game reserve. All of them are world-class Game reserves and National parks where you can see all the famous animals in Africa. With more than 130 000 elephants, Botswana is particularly famous for having more elephants than anywhere else in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Namibia on the other hand has only one truly great safari destination, Etosha. Etosha is brimming with wildlife and a great adventure, though it\u2019s the only world-class safari destination in the country. Caprivi Strip is nice, but it doesn\u2019t come close to the others we mention. Yet, we need to mention that if Botswana is the place to go if you want to see elephants, Namibia has the largest population of wild cheetahs in the world (about 20%).<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"478\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/River-Safari-in-the-Chobe-National-Park.jpg\" alt=\"Where To Go In Southern Africa?\" class=\"wp-image-7033\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/River-Safari-in-the-Chobe-National-Park.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/River-Safari-in-the-Chobe-National-Park-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/River-Safari-in-the-Chobe-National-Park-768x459.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/River-Safari-in-the-Chobe-National-Park-520x311.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"478\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/River-Safari-in-the-Chobe-National-Park.jpg\" alt=\"Where To Go In Southern Africa?\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-7033\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/River-Safari-in-the-Chobe-National-Park.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/River-Safari-in-the-Chobe-National-Park-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/River-Safari-in-the-Chobe-National-Park-768x459.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/River-Safari-in-the-Chobe-National-Park-520x311.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><figcaption>River Safari in the Chobe National Park in Botswana<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Culture_and_heritage\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Culture_and_heritage\"><\/span>Culture and heritage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In terms of culture and heritage, both countries have a lot to offer, but again Namibia has a wider range of things to explore and they are much easier to reach and do. In Namibia you can meet the Himba people, the San people (also known as the bushman) and you get to experience the unique blender of African and german cultures. The town of Swakopmund is particularly interesting in this regard.<\/p>\n<p>The Himba are famous for their unusually red skin that comes from spreading red clay on to their face and hair, while the San people are said to be the oldest people in the world.  Botswana has an even bigger population of San people, which you can visit and learn about their culture.<\/p>\n<p>Both countries have 2 UNESCO heritage sites, and each has one natural (Namib desert vs Okavango delta) and one cultural (Twyfelfontein in northern Namibia and Tsodilo in Botswana). Curiously, both are rock-art sites.<\/p>\n<p>In a hindsight, the German-African blend and the Himba people give Namibia a bigger variety and a small advantage in this topic.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"470\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/What-to-do-in-Swakopmund.jpg\" alt=\"Namibia vs Botswana\" class=\"wp-image-6985\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/What-to-do-in-Swakopmund.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/What-to-do-in-Swakopmund-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/What-to-do-in-Swakopmund-768x451.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/What-to-do-in-Swakopmund-520x306.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"470\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/What-to-do-in-Swakopmund.jpg\" alt=\"Namibia vs Botswana\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-6985\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/What-to-do-in-Swakopmund.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/What-to-do-in-Swakopmund-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/What-to-do-in-Swakopmund-768x451.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/What-to-do-in-Swakopmund-520x306.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><figcaption>Traditional German house in Swakopmund in Namibia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Resorts_of_Botswana_vs_Resorts_of_Namibia\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Resorts_of_Botswana_vs_Resorts_of_Namibia\"><\/span>Resorts of Botswana vs Resorts of Namibia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Botswana is worldwide known for the quality of its resorts.

Not us for sure! Though we believe that it really shouldn\u2019t matter, Namibia seems to have a few better options.<\/p>\n<p>Both in Swakopmund and Windhoek, have nice restaurants and a few relaxed bars where one could enjoy the hot summer nights. And, it is pleasant to have a cold drink at night, after a long day exploring the country. In Botswana, we didn\u2019t really try to do this kind of thing, and the few cities we visited didn\u2019t really attract us in this regard. Though, you have the bars and restaurants of the resorts, which are more than pleasant.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Food_scene_in_Namibia_and_Botswana\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Food_scene_in_Namibia_and_Botswana\"><\/span>Food scene in Namibia and Botswana<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We love to try new foods and local dishes.

So, we are not sure if it was us that didn\u2019t really find the correct spots or if that\u2019s something Botswana doesn\u2019t have to offer (yet).<\/p>\n<p>In Namibia, we had the opportunity to try a few game meat, like Zebra or crocodile. Joe\u2019s Beerhouse in Namibia is the place to go to try these and other quality meats. Oysters are also good by the shore in between Luderitz and Swakopmund.

Botswana or Namibia?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While Namibia is considered a relatively safe country, Botswana is one of the safest countries in Africa. So, Botswana has to win this topic.<\/p>\n<p>In general, Namibia is rather safe, but a traveler needs to be careful in some areas, and at night. Crime is on the rise in the capital Windhoek and other suburban areas. Muggings, bag snatching, and ATM robberies are other thins to be specially ware. As in almost every country, taking a taxi is also something to be aware of.<\/p>\n<p>Botswana has a low crime rate, though increasing. Street crime is quite rare, particularly against travelers as people in Botswana tend to be very friendly and the country is heavily investing in luxury travel. It helps that tourists tend to concentrate in the resorts, national parks, and game reserves where there\u2019s no crime. Maun (tourism capital) and Gabarone (the actual capital) are the two areas where you need to be more careful.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Botswana is a safe country \u2013 probably the safest one in Africa, and a good place to start your exploration of this content if you\u2019ve never been there before. Attacks towards tourists are rare and people are welcoming and warm.<\/p>\n<p>During our trip through Namibia and Botswana, we didn\u2019t experience anything dangerous and felt comfortable driving and traveling through the country. Though, you should note that we were living in Angola and were used to live and traveling in Africa. And, Angola is much more dangerous than Namibia or Botswana.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Water-Safari-in-a-mokoro2.jpg\" alt=\"Safaris in Namibia or Botswana\" class=\"wp-image-7030\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Water-Safari-in-a-mokoro2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Water-Safari-in-a-mokoro2-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Water-Safari-in-a-mokoro2-768x415.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Water-Safari-in-a-mokoro2-520x281.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Water-Safari-in-a-mokoro2.jpg\" alt=\"Safaris in Namibia or Botswana\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-7030\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Water-Safari-in-a-mokoro2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Water-Safari-in-a-mokoro2-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Water-Safari-in-a-mokoro2-768x415.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Water-Safari-in-a-mokoro2-520x281.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><figcaption>hippopotamus in the Okavango Delta Botswana<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_is_Cheaper_Namibia_or_Botswana\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_is_Cheaper_Namibia_or_Botswana\"><\/span>Which is Cheaper? Namibia or Botswana?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is a much harder question than in other comparisons we have made. There is less information online and in our opinion, it really depends on what you want to do and what kind of traveler you are. Despite looking similar, Namibia and Botswana cater to very different kind of travelers.<\/p>\n<p>In our experience we found Namibia to be a bit cheaper than Botswana. Hotels are very cheap and as there are many options we usually can find a nice value for money option. As there are some nice supermarkets and fast food options, it\u2019s also possible to save on food. Yet, even good restaurants aren\u2019t that expensive. Attractions tend to be on the expensive side, but nothing extraordinary really, particularly if you keep in mind what kind of activity is.  Our rental car was also very budget-friendly.<\/p>\n<p>Botswana has less low budget offers, making it more challenging to save money. In general, even budget hotels are more expensive than in Namibia. Saving on food is also harder as there are less fast food and good supermarkets to stock up. It is still possible to have a cheap trip, but it requires more planning, and even so you\u2019ll probably spend a little more than in Namibia.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"408\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Things-to-do-in-Namibia.jpg\" alt=\"Botswana or Namibia\" class=\"wp-image-6960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Things-to-do-in-Namibia.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Things-to-do-in-Namibia-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Things-to-do-in-Namibia-768x392.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Things-to-do-in-Namibia-520x265.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"408\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Things-to-do-in-Namibia.jpg\" alt=\"Botswana or Namibia\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-6960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Things-to-do-in-Namibia.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Things-to-do-in-Namibia-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Things-to-do-in-Namibia-768x392.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Things-to-do-in-Namibia-520x265.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><figcaption>4\u00d74 drive in the Desert of Swakopmund, Namibia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_has_more_tourists_Namibia_or_Bostwana\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_has_more_tourists_Namibia_or_Bostwana\"><\/span>Which has more tourists?

Namibia received 1.5 M, while Botswana had 1.6 M international travelers. these are considerable numbers, taking both of them into the top 10 most visited countries in Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these high numbers, we are talking about huge countries with very little population. Furthermore, the activities are mostly done in limited groups, so crowds aren\u2019t a problem in either country.<\/p>\n<p>We really dislike feeling cramped in a crowded, and one of the reasons we enjoy Botswana and Namibia so much is the sense of freedom and emptiness.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Our_Namibia_vs_Botswana_verdict\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Our_Namibia_vs_Botswana_verdict\"><\/span>Our Namibia vs Botswana verdict<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In conclusion, when we look at Namibia and Botswana closely we can see that despite being similar in some ways, they offer very different things to travelers. And, more importantly, they attract different kinds of travelers.<\/p>\n<p>Botswana has become an eco-tourism and luxury destination, focusing on high-end and fly-in safaris and organized tours. This tends to be more expensive and lacks a variety of things to do, with less cultural and heritage things to offer. However, if what you are looking for is animal spotting, then Botswana is the place to go. Furthermore, Botswana has a bigger variety of sceneries, with deserts, swamps, hills, savannahs, and wetlands.<\/p>\n<p>Namibia has slightly cultural and heritage to explore, it has beaches and lots of adrenaline activities in Swakopmund. However, when it comes to wildlife and safaris it has less quantity, but the quality is similar. It also has a very different setting. While Botswana has very different landscapes, Namibia is mostly made of deserts (Namib and Kalahari). Amazingly beautiful desert, but still\u2026 deserts.<\/p>\n<p>We preferred Namibia to Botswana, as it has more diverse activities, and more importantly, it\u2019s much easier and fun to travel independently\u2026 However, it\u2019s a close call, and in the end, it mostly depends on what you are looking for on this trip.<\/p>\n<p>You should choose Botswana if you are looking for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Luxury and eco-resorts;<\/li>\n<li>Organized tours;<\/li>\n<li>Mostly safaris and wildlife;<\/li>\n<li>The safest country;<\/li>\n<li>Diverse sceneries;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Visit-Chobe-National-Park.jpg\" alt=\"Botswana vs Namibia\" class=\"wp-image-6977\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Visit-Chobe-National-Park.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Visit-Chobe-National-Park-300x228.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Visit-Chobe-National-Park-768x584.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Visit-Chobe-National-Park-520x395.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Visit-Chobe-National-Park.jpg\" alt=\"Botswana vs Namibia\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-6977\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Visit-Chobe-National-Park.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Visit-Chobe-National-Park-300x228.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Visit-Chobe-National-Park-768x584.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Visit-Chobe-National-Park-520x395.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><figcaption>Leopard in Chobe National Park, Namibia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You should choose Namibia if you are looking for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A more diverse range of activities;<\/li>\n<li>But still want to do a few safaris and animal spotting;<\/li>\n<li>Adrenaline rush activities;<\/li>\n<li>The cheapest option;<\/li>\n<li>Travel independently;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Things-to-do-in-Botswana.jpg\" alt=\"Best Southern Africa\" class=\"wp-image-6973\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Things-to-do-in-Botswana.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Things-to-do-in-Botswana-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Things-to-do-in-Botswana-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Things-to-do-in-Botswana-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Things-to-do-in-Botswana.jpg\" alt=\"Best Southern Africa\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-6973\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Things-to-do-in-Botswana.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Things-to-do-in-Botswana-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Things-to-do-in-Botswana-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Things-to-do-in-Botswana-520x390.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><figcaption>San people in Namibia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Pin for later<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/NAMIBIA-VS-BOTSWANA.jpg\" alt=\"Namibia Or Botswana?
