Botswana is a landlocked country in Southern Africa known for its stable democracy, economic growth, and thriving wildlife. It gained independence from British colonial rule in 1966 and has since maintained a reputation for good governance and prudent economic management. The economy is heavily dependent on diamond mining, which has contributed to rapid development and improved living standards. Botswana is home to the Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the largest inland deltas in the world, as well as a diverse range of wildlife in its national parks. Despite challenges such as HIV/AIDS and income inequality, Botswana remains one of the most politically stable and prosperous countries in Africa.
