During my two-year mandate as chairman of HATAB, I will listen, encourage debate

and tackle policy issues to promote Botswana tourism growth together with the destination brand. I encourage you to do the same.

We’re aLL amBaSSaDorS

Batswana need to harness their culture and

understand that tourism is a unique sector

that cuts across all other sectors. Each

Motswana is in the tourism sector, from the

immigration offi cial to the cab driver and

everyone who interacts with tourists. One

does not need a title to be an ambassador; we

are all ambassadors. The cab driver, in the 20

minutes from the airport to the hotel, must

talk about our country and all it offers.

iNCreaSe marKet SHare

Botswana is stable, peaceful, secure and the

country manages its resources prudently. It

is the least corrupt country on the continent;

we must use this in our favour. We have 4.9

per cent of Africa’s market share in terms

of international tourists. Improve quality

standards and marketing becomes easier.

Botswana has wildlife migrations so it must

aligh itself with Kenya hence it needs to be

viewed as THE tourist destination.

Currently through the Ministry of Transport

& Communications the country has embarked

on expanding its airport infrastructure, for

example Sir Seretse Khama International in

Gaborone and in Maun, Kasane and

Francistown. It is hoped that this will increase

participation into Botswana’s airspace.

Branding Botswana

CHaIrMan’S ForeWorD


Botswana’s tourism strategy is of low volume, high value in the environmentally sensitive area of the Okavango Delta for preservation of this natural resource.

Botswana soars aheadFor the fi rst time in Botswana’s history the annual number of tourists visiting the country surpassed its citizenry. It is on this positive note that I welcome you to the eighth issue of ‘Th is is Botswana’, the annual publication of the Hospitality and Tourism Association of Botswana (HATAB).

WHat HataB StaNDS For

HATAB is a private sector, membership-based organisa-tion within Botswana’s tourism

sector. Its 230-plus members are categorised into nine sub-sectors:

• Camps and lodges

• Hotels

• Self-catering apartments

• Mobile safaris

• Tour operators

• Services

• Conservation and wildlife management

• Air charters and airlines.

As an advocacy body, HATAB provides its

members with a unifi ed voice to address

government and other stakeholders on the

challenges they face. HATAB hosts regular

networking opportunities and encour-

ages synergy between members and key

players within the sector. The organisation

has created an ‘enabling environment’ for

business to grow within the country’s private

tourism sector.

toUriSm DriveS GDp

Tourism is Botswana’s largest generator of

GDP after mining. The sector grew steadily

after independence in 1966 and has been

on the rise ever since. Botswana is the third

most visited African country, according

to recent statistics. Tourism contributed

BWP 2.9 billion being 3.7 per cent of the

country’s Gross Domestic Product (2010

Department of Tourism statistic). This

mainstay sector provides employment to

thousands of people and encourages the

development of skills.

moviNG ForWarD

Botswana is a land of striking beauty and

many contrasts, which you can read about

in this publication. They range from the

Okavango Delta, one of the Seven Natural

Wonders of Africa, and the Kalahari

Desert, which covers about 70 per cent of

the country, to the vast Makgadikgadi Pan.

While Chobe and Ngamiland (the Okavango

Delta) remain the country’s most visited

regions, there has been an upsurge in recent

years of visitors to Francistown, Gaborone

and other regions.

Our vision at HATAB, and indeed as

Batswana, is to tap into the natural warmth

and hospitality of our people and share our

cultural heritage and the splendour of our

natural environment with international

tourists as well as with one another. As an

organisation, we will encourage the sector to

focus on cultural tourism and in each of the

nine districts within the country.

The Botswana Tourism Organi-sation (BTO) was set up by the Government to market

and promote Botswana as a premier tourist destination, to grade and classify tourist facilities as well as to promote investment and drive product diversifi cation in the tourism sector.

BTO priorities are mainly focused on product

diversifi cation and on providing high quality

service standards and embarking on strate-

gies that exceed customer expectations as well

as building customer confi dence locally and

internationally. This is in line with the organi-

sational vision of ‘developing Botswana into a

unique preferred tourism destination of choice,

in order to increase the sector’s contribution

to the nation’s economic growth’.

As part of its efforts to reach this goal, BTO is

constantly repositioning the tourism image of

Botswana with a view to inspire, engage trav-

ellers with fresh, powerful images and beautiful

stories that captures the beauty of Botswana;

in addition to the positive contribution of the

tourism sector to the local Batswana.

iNSiGHt

A good example is the organisation’s website,

which contains just about everything that

potential visitors need to know regarding

travel in and around Botswana. The website

gives an insight into what’s on offer in

Botswana as well as providing useful travel

information and advice. The website even

suggests a list of books to read for those

interested in visiting the country.

Dedicated to preserving the heritage and

environment of Botswana, the organisation

has established several conservation policies

and ecotourism strategies to ensure that

tourism is sustainable for its inhabitants and

future generations while still contributing

meaningfully to the national economy.

Although relatively new in its development,

BTO has already proved to be a well-run

and fully functioning organisation, one

that will continue to serve as a competitive

front-runner in promoting Botswana as a

destination of choice.

Developing Botswana into a preferred tourism destination

Botswana, the world’s largest diamond producer, by volume. With its economy based on the

mining sector, the diamond industry alone contributes up to 33% to the Gross Domestic Product, Botswana has been one of Africa’s fastest-growing economies and greatest success stories in recent years.

The major diamond producer, De Beers,

relocated its sales and marketing functions

from London to Gaborone in November

2013. Investors and business people flock

to Botswana, not only because it is the least

corrupt country in Africa (according to the

Global Corruption Index) but also because

Forbes has rated it the continent’s fourth-best

place to do business.

When it comes to tourism, Botswana’s

natural beauty, stable economy and thriving

business sector have made it the third

most visited country in Africa. In 2010 it

welcomed more tourists, 2,145,079 (Depart-

ment of Tourism statistics), than the number

of its citizens – a fact that speaks volumes

about its desirability as both a holiday and

investment destination.

proximity

Gaborone, in south-east Botswana, was

strategically chosen as the capital city for

its proximity to South Africa as well as

its already established railway lines and

infrastructure. The city’s most visited tourist

attraction is the Three Dikgosi Monument,

a tribute to Botswana’s early beginnings.

The bronze sculpture pays tribute to its three

founding chiefs: Khama II, Sebele I and

Bathoen.

No city in Botswana can illustrate the

development of infrastructure better than

Gaborone. The capital may have been

established only in the 1960s, but today it is

dotted with the silhouettes of tower cranes,

development sites and skyscrapers.

Infrastructure is one of the biggest drivers of

the tourism sector, the advances can be seen

from rooftop venues such as the Sky Lounge.

This exclusive membership-only venue

provides panoramic views from the 19th floor

of the iTowers building, currently the city’s

tallest. A twin tower is under construction.

The metropolis below is testament to the

city’s expansion and the determination of the

Batswana people.

Batswana are genuinely warm people; one

can hear their sincerity as they wish one

another ‘Dumela’ (‘Good day’) wherever

they go. They work hard, but play just as

hard. The Masa Centre is proof of that. This

impressive 46,000 square metre entertain-

ment complex, with restaurants, hotel and

spa, leaves nothing to be desired. It also

houses the country’s first 3D cinema. The

rooftop Absolut Bar is an ideal place to bid

farewell to another day.

variety

Shoppers will find plenty of variety among

Gaborone’s four modern shopping malls and

other outlets, whether they’re looking for

African curios, designer clothes or groceries.

The oldest is Main Mall, in the bustling

Gaborone

The ever-growing capital city of Gaborone is a gleaming jewel – and it has all the carats to prove it.

Gaborone: a diamondin the rough no more

heart of the capital, where you can buy

just about anything. Nearby is Government

Enclave, home to government ministries and

the South African Development Community

headquarters.

But Gabs, as the locals affectionately refer

to it, is more than just concrete. The city is

nestled between the Kgale and Oodi hills. The

‘Sleeping Giant’, as Kgale Hill is known, is

popular with hikers, and the resident baboons

make the one-hour walk that much more

thrilling. The hilltop is the city’s natural

observation deck, standing 1,287 metres

above sea level. It also maps out the city’s

rapid urban expansion.

yaCHt CLUB

The Yacht Club, on the edge of Gaborone

Dam, is a local watering hole, especially

popular at sundown and caters for sailing,

canoeing and rowing. It is open to members

and guests. It organises a number of social

events every year, the biggest of which is the

annual raft race.

A few kilometres from the central business

district is Mokolodi Nature Reserve, which

offers a close encounter with Africa’s Big

Five and the bush. Giraffe and rhino tracking

is a sought-after experience that is perfect

for those ‘Kodak’ moments.

Gaborone has much to be proud of, the

country has been selected to host the 2nd

African Youth Games was held in May 2014.

Gaborone is the host to this international

10 day competition, with 54 countries and

2,500 young atheletes participating in 21

sports at 11 venues, including the national

stadium. It is the biggest multi-sport event in

the country’s history and gives Gaborone an

opportunity to stand out among the conti-

nent’s brightest stars.

Those who get a thrill out of 4x4 driving and extreme encounters with nature should make the

trip to Kubu Island on the Makgadik-gadi Pan. To reach the granite rock ‘island’ one must traverse a typical eastern Kalahari landscape along undulating dunes.

The 12,000 sq km pan is the largest salt

complex in the world, covering an area the

size of Israel. Baobab trees are a distinctive

feature of this vast area, but do not expect

much more than the natural earth beneath

your feet, because this is a sacred site to

the indigenous people. It’s just you and the

wilderness.

BioDiverSity

When it comes to biodiversity, each of

Botswana’s four main regions – central,

northern, eastern and southern – has some-

thing unique for visitors to see and enjoy.

There are numerous daily fl ights between

the country’s four domestic airports and air

fares are affordable thanks to low air ticket

taxes and airport charges. Many resorts have

private airstrips, too.

There is a focus on conservation and

ecotourism with the aim of encouraging a

responsible approach to tourism and sustain-

ability. Botswana aims for quality and high

standards rather than quantity in its tourism.

This forward-thinking nation has embraced

environmentally friendly initiatives to

conserve and recycle rain water and to make

use of solar power.

‘Pride of Botswana’ iswaiting to be explored


CULtUraL viLLaGeS

The cultural villages, especially in north-

eastern Botswana near Kasane, give tourists

an opportunity to experience the history,

lifestyle, culture and heritage of the indig-

enous people through storytelling, music

and dance. This is Africa’s ‘four corners’

region, where only a 100 metre border

separates Botswana, Namibia’s Caprivi

Strip, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Kasane in the

north has become synonymous with Chobe

National Park. Luxurious houseboats make

their way up and down the Chobe River and

river safaris delight visitors, who can watch

elephants drink, bathe and play along the

banks. The park is home to the continent’s

largest population of elephant.

The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is in

south-western Botswana, along the Namibian

border and straddling the Botswana-South

Africa border. Gemsbok National Park is on

the Botswana side, while Kalahari Gemsbok

National Park is on the South Africa side

following an agreement in 1948. The park

prides itself on its sightings of predatory cats

such as lion, leopard and cheetah.

aLL BUDGetS

Botswana caters for all budget types and

travellers, from a family camping expedi-

tion to a sleep-out atop a fully equipped

bundu-bashing safari bus; but it is also highly

regarded as an upmarket safari destinations,

especially with its fi ve-star lodges.

The Okavango Delta, one of the Seven

Natural Wonders of Africa, is a magnet for

wildlife photographers. Air safaris in the

region, and indeed across the country, are

increasingly popular, providing visitors with a

bird’s-eye view of the wildlife trekking across

the landscape below.

Botswana has more to offer than merely its

pristine natural wonders; it is also rich in

history and culture. To the east of the delta,

sharply rising out of the Kalahari, are the

Tsodilo Hills, one of the oldest historical

sites in the world and the only Unesco world

heritage site in Botswana. The mystical rock

face and nearby sites are covered with some

4,000 rock paintings and have also yielded

numerous artefacts. As the sun hurries

towards the horizon, the hills are illuminated

in shades of ochre.

NatioNaL moNUmeNt

In the eastern region, south of the country’s

second-largest city, Francistown, is old

Palapye. This national monument is another

archaeological and historical site. Dating

back to the Middle Stone Age, it was also

home to European missionaries in the 19th

century. The relics of both settlements stand

today. Moremi Gorge, only a short drive

away, is a ‘must’ for adventure seekers, who

will not be disappointed by the canyon’s

waterfalls and river bends. The region and its

sites have received funding for further infra-

structure and tourism development to cope

with the growing number of visitors.

Botswana surely lives up to its national

slogan: ‘Our country, our pride’.

KAZA off ers tourism without borders

10

KaZa

Working alongside sister organisations in neigh-bouring states, Botswana

is the headquarters of the Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA TFCA). As the area’s name suggests, this is the meeting place of two great river basins: the Kavango; and the Zambezi, which rises in Angola before fl owing 2,574 km to the Indian Ocean.

It’s a testament to Botswana’s regional

leadership in the fi eld of conservation

that Kasane was chosen as the base for

this important transnational organisa-

tion – one that brings together fi ve nations

whose borders converge in a comparatively

small corner of Africa: Angola, Botswana,

Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Covering a truly amazing 519,912 sq km

(an area about the size of Thailand or larger

than Germany and Austria combined), KAZA

TFCA was established on the 18th August

2011 by a treaty, with the aim of conserving

the shared natural resources of its fi ve

member states.

The organisation is also charged with

promoting and developing the linked

network of conversation areas across its fi ve

member states and, where possible, restoring

traditional dispersal corridors and wildlife

migratory routes.

WorLD-CLaSS

At the same time, KAZA TFCA is developing

the transnational area into a single world-class

tourism destination and working to promote

easy border crossings for tourists – something

that will reduce visa costs for visitors.

KAZA TFCA’s remit is not just one of wildlife

conservation, however; it also aims to ensure


the sustainable use of national resources

and to improve the lives of local communi-

ties through a range of initiatives to reduce

poverty.

Finally, KAZA TFCA will be looking at how

best to harmonise conservation legislation

and natural resource management policies

across all fi ve nations.

traNSFroNtier

Botswana accounts for about 30% of the

total land area of the transfrontier area, with

Zambia making up 25%, Angola 17% and

Namibia and Zimbabwe each contributing

about 14%.

The KAZA TFCA is an integrated land-use

area comprising Protected Areas (National

Parks and Forest Reserves), Conversation

Areas (Game-Management areas/Wildlife

Management Areas) and Communal Areas,

which will gradually expand and link these

areas to form one giant wilderness area

containing three UNESCO World Heritage

Sites: the Victoria Falls, Tsodilo Hills and

Okavango Delta.

KAZA TFCA already has the world’s largest

population of elephant; it is also home

to signifi cant numbers of other animals,

including buffalo, rhino, hippo, lion, cheetah,

African wild dog, sitatunga and lechwe. All

in all, there are some 200 animal species and

up to 650 bird species.

SHeer SCaLe

In many ways, KAZA TFCA is beyond

comprehension such is the sheer scale of the

park. It marks yet another step in Botswana’s

efforts to forge close links with its neighbours

to ensure that wildlife – which, after all,

knows no borders – is conserved for future

generations.

Homely ambience in the bustling capital

The Gaborone Sun Hotel, Casino and Conference Centre offers a homely ambience to offset the

bustle of Botswana’s capital city, with soft African-hued furnishings and an air of sophistication.

Dating from the 1970s, the hotel has

196 rooms, of which 38 are air condi-

tioned luxury rooms with king-sized beds,

en-suite bathroom, minibar, safe, satellite

TV, universal adaptor socket (220 volts),

telephone and hairdryer included as standard.

There are also paraplegic rooms, a luxury

paraplegic room, three suites and a sump-

tuous presidential suite.

NatUraL WooD

Mahogany’s Restaurant is tastefully

decorated with natural wood and sepia

photographs of Africa’s past, and guests can

sample the delicious menu in sophisticated

and elegant surroundings. For a less formal

meal, the Savuti Grill serves English and

Continental breakfast and offers an exten-

sive buffet and carvery for lunch and dinner.

Light snacks can be taken in the Conserva-

tory and Pool Terrace where the tranquil and

relaxing surroundings are just as enjoyable

as the refreshments.

CHoiCe oF BarS

Residents also have a choice of four bars for a

refreshing drink. The bustling Slots Cocktail

Lounge offers live entertainment, while the

Pool Bar has a tranquil garden setting and

serves cocktails and other drinks from 10 am

to 11 pm. The Casino Walk-up Bar, which is

open 24 hours, can be found in the smoking

section of the casino and is exclusive to table

and slot players. The Casino Bar, next to the

slot, offers live entertainment.

The Gaborone Sun is located next to The

Gaborone Golf Club. The fi rst tee box is

less than fi ve minutes’ walk from the hotel

reception and the hotel can arrange tee-off

times and book golf carts for guests. The

hotel has a wide range of facilities including

a fully equipped gym, squash courts, a casino,

fl oodlit tennis courts, a swimming pool and a

golf course nearby. The hotel can also provide

extensive and fully equipped conferencing and

meeting facilities.

Botswana’s national airline, Air Botswana, brings visitors to this special part of Africa from

Johannesburg, Cape Town, Harare and Lusaka.

Passengers arriving on long-haul fl ights in

Johannesburg can readily transfer to Air

Botswana for onward jet fl ights direct to

Maun, on the edge of the Okavango Delta, or

direct to Kasane, gateway to Chobe National

Park. Air Botswana also operates jet shuttle

fl ights from Cape Town to Maun and from

Cape Town to Gaborone. Air Botswana is

the only airline that links these two premier

tourism destinations.

DELTA

The vast Okavango Delta, a protected World

Heritage site, is a wild and hauntingly beau-

tiful place, with myriad channels, reedbeds,

oxbow lakes and palm-fringed lagoons. The

delta is rich in wildlife with an extraordinary

number and diversity of animals and birds.

Another remarkable river is the Chobe, on

Botswana’s northern border with Namibia.

Air Botswana operates direct fl ights from

Johannesburg to Kasane, gateway to Chobe

National Park, noted for its lions and its

large concentration of elephants.

Part of the great sanctuary is on the Chobe

River and the dramatic riverfront is rich in

birds and animals. On a sunset cruise, visitors

can watch animals coming down to drink,

with a chance to see a string of elephants

crossing the wide river. The river has a large

population of hippos and crocodiles and a

prolifi c birdlife.

REWARDING

A game drive from a riverfront lodge deep

into the national park is also a rewarding

way to see the wildlife.

Air Botswana operates and maintains a fl eet

of Avro RJ and British Aerospace 146 jet

aircraft, with ATR 72-500 and ATR 42-500

turboprops for the shorter routes.

The airline’s busiest route is between

Gaborone and Johannesburg. There are also

direct services from Francistown to Johan-

The privately owned South African carrier Airlink operates to 33 destinations across

southern Africa including 16 cross-border destinations. Within Botswana it offers daily fl ights from Johannes-burg to Maun, Kasane and Gaborone.

Airlink is the largest independent regional

airline in southern Africa, linking more

passengers to the smaller towns, cities and

regional centres than any other local airline

with its fl eet of Jetstream 41 aircraft, ERJ

135 jet aircraft and BAe RJ85 aircraft. It

carries more than 1 million passengers a year

on some 35,000 fl ights.

FOUR CORNERS

Kasane is close to Africa’s Four Corners,

where four countries almost meet: Botswana,

Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The town

lies on the south bank of the Chobe River,

which forms the border with the extreme tip

of Namibia’s Caprivi Strip. Nearby, a second

border post serves the road into Zimbabwe,

which runs 70 km east to Victoria Falls.

Regional airline connects Botswana to the world

AIRLINK

The opening of its Kasane route in 2013 to

a second carrier was seen as a signifi cant

milestone for the region’s tourism industry.

It not only complemented the services of the

national carrier, Air Botswana, but opened

up additional source markets to the globally

renowned destination of Chobe. The Kasane

service uses one of Airlink’s fl eet of 12

Embraer ERJ 135 regional jets.

UNIQUE EXPERIENCE

The African safari experience is marketed

globally. Botswana, Chobe and Zimbabwe

feature a unique game-viewing experience.

Airlink believes that its global connectivity

and wide marketing reach will contribute

to growth. The company looks forward

with enthusiasm to playing a role in the

expansion of this market, which it believes

will benefi t all stakeholders in the tourism

sector.

Through its alliance with South African

Airways (SAA), Airlink’s passengers can enjoy

convenient connections with SAA, its Star

Alliance Partner airlines and other carriers

throughout southern Africa and the world.

Okavango Air Rescue (OAR) is a private company providing round-the-clock emergency

evacuation and medical assistance services by helicopter from Maun International Airport.

In an emergency, the patient receives direct

on-the-spot assistance from an airborne

medical team before being fl own to an

appropriate location for further treatment.

OAR has its own emergency call centre

number (995) in Botswana or +267 686 15

06 for roaming and satellite phones. OAR has

been granted special permission by the Civil

Aviation Authority to fl y at night in the event

of a life-threatening situation according to

the pilot’s discretion.

OAR is funded largely by the annual

subscriptions of its patrons and provides a

complementary service to the existing road

and air ambulance services in Botswana.

It operates in northern Botswana and the

Central Kalahari, dealing with incidents in

remote or inaccessible locations – or cases

where speed is of the essence.

The OAR helicopter is a fully customised,

medically fi tted Bell Jet Ranger 206 III with

a long-range fuel tank. It is litter equipped

and can therefore take a stretcher.

Since the beginning of 2014 OAR is proud

to have newly established fully Botswana

accredited First Aid Training Courses from

level one up to level three.

Swiss-style air rescue service is a vital asset

OKAVANGO AIR RESCUE

INSPIRATION FOR OAROkavango Air Rescue was inspired by the

Swiss Air Rescue Service, REGA, which

pioneered the concept of the patronage

system. This system generates a steady

fl ow of income, thus allowing the rescue

service to remain airborne.

Under the OAR system of patronage,

each annual contribution entitles a

patron, travelling within OAR’s range

of operation, to one free, medically

necessitated air rescue per year.

The contribution is not an insurance

premium but a payment that helps

towards keeping the helicopter airborne.

Donations can also be made to enable

OAR to rescue people who cannot afford

to be patrons.

To keep the service airborne, why not

become a patron of Okavango Air

Rescue today.
