Botswana Accommodation
Botswana is a land-locked country dominated
in geographical terms by the Kalahari Desert - a sand-filled
basin averaging 1,100 metres above sea level. The country
lies between longitudes 20 and 30 degrees east of Greenwich
and between the latitudes 18 and 27 degrees approximately
south of the Equator.
Botswana is bordered by Zambia and Zimbabwe to the northeast,
Namibia to the north and west, and South Africa to the south
and southeast. At Kazungula, four countries - Botswana, Zimbabwe,
Zambia and Namibia - meet at a single point mid-stream in
the Zambezi River.
Botswana has no mountain ranges to speak of,
the almost uniformly flat landscape is punctuated occasionally
by low hills, especially along the southeastern boundary and
in the far northwest. Botswana's highest point is 1,491m Otse
Mountain near Lobatse, but the three major peaks of the Tsodilo
Hills, in the country's northwestern corner, are more dramatic.
