Botswana is the 'Switzerland of southern Africa': a stable, democratic country that has avoided the tragedies and upheavals of its neighbours.
In this talk David shares insights gained from living for three months in the bush as a leader on a youth expedition. Close encounters with elephants, lions, cheetahs, giraffes, wildebeest, praying mantis, and chameleons are woven into the story of this endearing country.
The struggle for survival in the harsh Kalahari is contrasted with the lushness of the Okavango Delta. But paradise is threatened and David will explain the challenges Botswana faces and the lessons to be learnt.
