Capital: Gaborone

  • About 70% of Botswana's territory lies within the Kalahari Desert, and much of the land is flat.
  • Summer rain in the Angolan highlands feeds the Okavango River, which spreads into the Okavango Delta and never reaches the sea.
  • Botswana produces more diamonds than any country except Russia, which has made diamonds central to its economy.
