The geography of Botswana
The Map of Botswana shows that the country is dominated by a number of natural features including the Kalahari Desert and the Okavango Delta, the largest inland delta on Earth. Essentially a gently undulating plateau, Botswana has an average elevation of 1 000 metres and is largely covered in Kalahari sand, although the rockier and more fertile south-east create an interesting contrast.
Rainfall and soil type dictate vegetation, and most of Botswana is covered in Kalahari acacia sandveld with large areas of forest and open savannah in the north. There are the enormous Makgadikgadi salt pans in central Botswana and many ephemeral lakes and rivers. Note that northern Botswana is far wetter than the semi-arid south - a combination of higher rainfall and a complex wetland system.
Equally noticeable on the map of Botswana is the extent to which the country protects its natural heritage - some 17% of Botswana's surface area is taken up by parks and reserves including some of the world's wildest and best wildlife areas such as the Chobe National Park and Moremi Game Reserve.
