There are certain points of etiquette to remember when traveling anywehre in Africa and Botswana is no exception. Hate speech, racist remarks and outbursts are not tolerated and will probably lead one into confrontation with locals. Refrain from criticism of governments or authorities, particularly at border posts. Be polite and corteous and the locals will return the compliment! |
