The mission of BTO is to develop and champion tourism, so as to build the sector into a key driver of economic growth. Botswana Tourism Organization (BTO) provides tourism information and promotion about our country's natural appeal; our stunning and seemingly endless wilderness, prolific wildlife, cultural diversity, and welcoming people. BTO also grades and classify tourist accommodations so that they are consistent with consumer expectations and industry ratings standards. Botswana Tourism is committed to responsible tourism. Therefore, the Botswana government’s conservation and wildlife management policies, along with the eco-tourism strategies work in concert to ensure that Botswana’s tourism is sustainable for it’s inhabitants and future generations of tourists, while contributing meaningfully to the national economy.

Botswana is around 90% covered in savanna, varying from shrub savanna in the southwest in the dry areas to tree savanna consisting of trees and grass in the wetter areas. Even under the hot conditions of the Kalahari Desert, many different species survive; in fact the country has more than 2500 species of plants and 650 species of trees. Vegetation and its wild fruits are also extremely important to rural populations living in the desert and are the principal source of food, fuel and medicine for many inhabitants.

The Okavango Delta is a vast inland river delta in northern Botswana. It's known for its sprawling grassy plains, which flood seasonally, becoming a lush animal habitat. The Moremi Game Reserve occupies the east and central areas of the region. Here, dugout canoes are used to navigate past hippos, elephants and crocodiles. On dry land, wildlife includes lions, leopards, giraffes and rhinos.

Tsodilo Hills, now a World Heritage rock art site where some 4,500 paintings have so far been recorded. Although some of the paintings were made by San/Bushmen most are believed to have been made by Khoi (Khoe) people and also by Bantu immigrants like the Hambakush who arrived there about 1,800 years ago. It is possible that most of this art was made during the last 2,000 years. In eastern Botswana a lot of the art is San art but there is also some Khoe art in the east. [7]
