Food, shopping & people
Eating & drinking
Botswana’s speciality is beef . Try it salted and slow cooked in a three-legged pot, as a dish known as seswaa.Don’t get seswaa confused with serobe - this meat dish includes intestines, organs and even trotters!
Vegetarians will enjoy sampling the exotic water lilies of the Okavango Delta, harvested by local women.
Traditional khadi beer is brewed using native plants - it tastes similar to apple cider, but be prepared for a pounding hangover.


People & language
Gifts & shopping
Treat yourself to a necklace made of ostrich shell beads - a traditional adornment of the San.Woven baskets and bowls are Botswana speciality. Try and buy from local markets or directly from communities to ensure your souvenir has not been imported and is supporting local artisans.
All those elephants mean a lot of waste… and the resourceful Batswana turn the dung into (non-smelly!) paper. Buy a journal or notecards, and support local craftspeople and elephant conservation during your Botswana holiday.
