Worth knowing

Botswana

The Okavango's flood arrives in the dry season, with water that fell as rain far away in Angola. In 2014 the delta became the 1,000th site on UNESCO's World Heritage List.

Where its story happens

The Okavango Delta, at 19.28°S, 22.90°E. It's the place the game marks on the globe once the country is found. See it on a map.

Five things to know about Botswana

In Geodar these are the five clues to this country, and it counts as one of the middling countries. The game asks the hardest clue first. Here the easiest comes first.

  1. Where it is. It's Botswana, a landlocked country in southern Africa, directly north of South Africa. See Botswana on a map.
  2. The Okavango Delta is here, and the Kalahari Desert covers almost all the rest.
  3. It has more elephants than any other country, about 130,000.
  4. A great river ends here without reaching any sea: it fans out into the desert and soaks away.
  5. Its money is called 'rain': in a land this dry, the same word also means 'blessing'.
