Discover le Botswana
An arid territory coveted since prehistoric times, Botswana has seen successive waves of different ethnic groups settling in the country and getting along with each other as best they could throughout history. The arrival of the Protestant missionaries opened a new era with the peaceful evangelization of the population. Under British protection, the advances are less and the territory becomes prized for its mineral wealth. The tribal chiefs campaigned in England to defend their lands and obtained satisfaction. As soon as it became a republic, Botswana discovered its first diamond deposits and rapidly developed its infrastructure. The country has since prospered economically and is now a model of success in Africa. Aware of its remarkable nature, it is turning to luxury tourism in order to preserve its wild lands, populated by exceptional wildlife and offering safaris worthy of the scenes in The Lion King.
