List of cities in Botswana
Botsuana limita al norte con Zambia (2 km), al este con Zimbabue (813 km), al sur con Sudáfrica (1840 km) y al oeste y al norte con Namibia (1360 km). Su superficie es comparable con la superficie de Texas, Estados Unidos, aunque este sea un poco más grande. Botsuana no posee salida al mar. El país está dominado en gran medida por el desierto del Kalahari, que domina el 70% de la superficie total del país, en especial el norte y el oeste del país. Además, en su territorios se encuentra el delta del Okavango, el delta interior más grande del mundo.
Su punto más alto son las colinas de Tsodilo, con 1489 msnm, mientras que su punto más bajo es la ensambladura de los ríos Limpopo y Shashe, con 513 msnm. [Geografía de Botsuana]
At 600,370 km2 (231,804 sq mi) Botswana is the world’s 47th-largest country (after Ukraine). It is comparable in size to Madagascar, and is slightly smaller than the U.S. state of Texas or the Canadian province of Manitoba. It is predominantly flat, tending toward gently rolling tableland. Botswana is dominated by the Kalahari Desert, which covers up to 70% of its land surface. The Okavango Delta, the world’s largest inland delta, is in the northwest. The Makgadikgadi Pan, a large salt pan, lies in the north.
The Limpopo River Basin, the major landform of all of southern Africa, lies partly in Botswana, in the southeast of the country. The Chobe River lies to the north, providing a boundary between Botswana and Namibia (Caprivi Region). The Chobe River meets with the Zambezi River at a place called Kazungula (meaning a small sausage tree, a point where Sebitwane and his Makololo tribe crossed the Zambezi into Zambia).
Botswana has diverse areas of wildlife habitat. In addition to the delta and desert areas, there are grasslands and savannas, where Blue Wildebeest, many antelopes, and other mammals and birds are found. Northern Botswana has one of the few remaining large populations of the endangered African Wild Dog. Chobe National Park, found in the Chobe District, has the world’s largest concentration of African elephants. The park covers about 11,000 km2 (4,247 sq mi) and supports about 350 species of birds.
The Chobe National Park and Moremi Game Reserve (in the Okavango Delta) are major tourist destinations. Other reserves include the Central Kalahari Game Reserve located in the Kalahari desert in Ghanzi District; Makgadikgadi Pans National Park and Nxai Pan National Park are in Central District in the Makgadikgadi Pan. Mashatu Game Reserve is privately owned: located where the Shashe River and Limpopo River meet in eastern Botswana. The other privately owned reserve is Mokolodi Nature Reserve near Gaborone. There are also specialised sanctuaries like the Khama Rhino Sanctuary (for Rhinoceros) and Makgadikgadi Sanctuary (for Flamingos). They are both located in Central District. [Geography of Botswana]
