BOTSWANA
There’s an ancient debate that argues whether inherited traits or one’s life experiences play the greater role in shaping personality. Nature versus nurture. I lived in Botswana’s capital, for two years as a tiny toddler and I’m convinced that some Gaborone dust crept into my bloodstream while growing up. If I’ve learnt anything about this celebrated country – unbelievable Botswana – when nurtured, nature unequivocally wins.
Home to more elephants than any other African country (almost 130 000 according to the most recent statistics) and a hotspot for the swift packs of endangered, beautifully-mottled Painted Wolves, nearly 50% of Botswana remains dedicated to wilderness.
From the desert in the south to the Okavango Delta at its heart, there’s a bona fide edge to Botswana’s natural spaces.
