What to Buy in Botswana

Botswana is well-known for beautifully decorated baskets, which are both functional and ornamental. These can be purchased directly from the villages, or from curio shops. Weavings and textiles are usually quite expensive, but one is guaranteed quality and a unique item.

Original San jewellery and leatherwork, including miniature items (like bows and arrows), can be purchased. In the north-west, traditional dolls can be bought from the Herero people. These depict Herero women in the four stages of life (childhood, puberty, adulthood and old age), dressed in their distinctive costume, as well as the traditional clothing worn before European influence.
