Tourism That Gives Back
In Botswana, tourism isn’t just about the traveler — it’s about the people who call this incredible land home. Community-driven tourism projects are redefining the travel experience, ensuring that the benefits of tourism reach villages, schools, and families across the country.
The Power of Community-Based Tourism (CBT)
From the Khwai Community Trust near the Okavango Delta to Mababe and Sankuyo villages, local communities are leading their own tourism ventures. These initiatives include locally owned lodges, cultural experiences, and conservation programs that generate income while preserving the environment and traditions.
A Model for Sustainable Growth
When you visit a community-run lodge or take part in a cultural tour, your spending helps fund education, healthcare, and environmental projects. This model not only protects wildlife but also empowers people to thrive alongside it.
Botswana proves that tourism can be more than sightseeing — it can be a force for development, dignity, and unity.
