Currency
The Pula is the currency of Botswana.
It has the ISO 4217 code BWP and is subdivided into 100 thebe. Pula literally means “rain” in Setswana, because rain is very scarce in Botswana, and therefore it is revered as a great blessing. The word also serves as the national motto of the country.
1 United Arab Emirates Dirham converts to roughly 3 Botswana Pula. For a view of how the Pula performs against some of the World’s major currencies please visit https://www.bankofbotswana.bw/
Nature’s Last Stronghold
Botswana is the leader in low-impact, upmarket tourism.
This eco-friendly approach promotes a true wilderness experience in this unspoiled country.
A Land Of Stunning Beauty
The stunning beauty of the Okavango Delta, the unimaginable vastness of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, the isolation and other worldliness of the Makgadikgadi, the astoundingly prolific wildlife of the Chobe National Park make Botswana a very unique destination.
Rich In Natural Resources
Minerals, energy, protected environmental areas, agriculture, pastureland and non-timber forest products give Botswana natural capital that amounts to one-third of its total wealth.
The Salt Of The Earth
There is a unique wisdom in Botswana that translates into practical reality in numerous ways. Botswana’s people have created a world-class business environment. A functioning democracy, a sound legal system and high credit rating makes Botswana one of the world’s most attractive sites for investment.
Fun In The Sun
Botswana enjoys eight months of summer with breath-taking sunsets, therefore attracting visitors throughout the years, with the best time from May to October when the foliage is lower during that time making it easy to spot animals.
Comfort For All
Its high gross national income (by some estimates the fourth largest in Africa) gives the country a relatively high standard of living and the highest Human Development Index of continental Sub-Saharan Africa.
