ABOUT THE EVENT

You are cordially invited to join us at the Embassy of Botswana for a night filled with fun and information on the country's culture, economy, business and tourism.

It's economy is dominated by mining, cattle and Tourism. Botswana is the world's biggest diamond exporter and it has an immense tourism potential, particularly in safari attractions. This event will try to show case that.

As the icing on the cake, H. E. Ambassador Onkokame Kitso Mokaila, who was the former Minister of Environment, Natural Resources Conservation and Tourism; will host it himself and share his deep knowledge of the sector.

Botswana is one of the examples of democracy in Africa. It has been a representative republic, with a consistent record of uninterrupted democratic elections since independence and the lowest perceived corruption ranking in Africa since at least 1998.
