Botswana, Ghanzi






Lunch anyone?





Leaving Namibia behind and heading into Botswana,  I'm surprised at the sudden changes.  There is a lot more vegetation and cows roaming all over the place.  One interesting fact about Botswana is the average income is 1/3 higher than that of South Africa.  In the early 60's they were one of the poorest economies on earth.  Since the discovery of diamonds, nearly 25% of the worlds diamonds currently come from Botswana.  In the photos above, you are seeing the local bushmen from the San tribe.  We spent the afternoon walking around, talking about their life, and learning the different medicinal values found from the vegetation in their surroundings.
