Overview

โ€บ

A stable and prosperous African nation, primarily focused on high-end eco-tourism and safaris. It is one of Africa's most stable democracies and offers some of the continent's best wildlife viewing in the Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park. While it is a safe and welcoming country, the infrastructure for digital nomads is limited. Internet outside the capital, Gaborone, is expensive and often slow. The high cost of tourism and travel within the country, coupled with a limited urban nightlife, makes it more of a destination for a high-end holiday than a long-term remote work base.
