Botswana named by National Geographic as a must-see destination in 2023
National Geographic has unveiled its Best of the World 2023 list, and Botswana was selected as one of the 25 must-see destinations for the year ahead. Reported by the magazine's global editors, the Best of the World list is themed around travel destinations and experiences that leverage the benefits of tourism to strengthen their local communities and environments, both natural and built. The list is grouped by categories — adventure, culture, nature, family and community — and Botswana is among the Scottish Highlands (Scotland), Slovenia, Big Bend National Park (Texas, USA), and the Azores (Spain) under the nature category. Congratulations Botswana!
