CHAPTER 05/SOUTHERN AFRICA

Botswana

Early June 2026Upcoming

Botswana is a country of contrasts: the vast silence of the Kalahari, the lush waterways of the Okavango, and the steady pulse of Gaborone's growing creative scene. The San people carry some of the oldest continuous storytelling traditions on Earth, and modern Batswana are finding new ways to honour that legacy through community radio, cooperative development, and youth arts programs. Here, listening is not a technique. It is a way of life.
