Botswana
With an economy kick-started by the discovery of diamonds in the
1960s, a remarkably stable government, and a focus on top quality,
low volume tourism Botswana offers one of the most authentic and
mind-blowing wildlife experiences on the planet. It's virtually the
same size as France, yet has a population of only 1.6 million,
nearly half of whom are employed through tourism and wildlife. A
pristine wilderness environment, the land has been divided into
vast private reserves that are leased out to top-notch safari
companies who are obliged to train and employ local people and
'give back' to native communities, or the Government, for the
privilege of being there. This goes a long way in creating a happy,
easy-going relationship between visitors and locals.
