Botswana-Namibia-2-Book 1.Indb © Lonely Planet 148 Kalahari KALAHARI KALAHARI Botswana’s landscapes are primeval, recalling in stone, thorns and brush the earliest memo- ries of the human experience. But even in this country there is a space older than space, a land that speaks to some deep-seated essence within the DNA, a hearkening back to a sort of racial infancy. This impression of whence time began is utterly realised in the hot winds and snap of thorn bush under a tracker’s feet in the Kalahari. The Tswana call it the Kgalagadi: Land of Thirst. And this is dry, parched country. If not a land of sand dunes, then it’s certainly a land painted by a sand palette: blood and mud reds and bleached bone yellow; dust that bites you back as you taste it in the morning. But come the nights this hard end of the colour wheel shifts into its cooler, sometimes white-cold shades: indigo nights that fade to deepest black, and blue stars ice-speckling the impossibly long horizon. Indeed, the local San insist that here you can hear ‘the stars in song’ behind the dark. The Kalahari’s 1.2-million-sq-km basin stretches across parts of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Angola, Zambia, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa. The land is harsh, but it is also covered with trees and criss-crossed by ephemeral rivers and fossilised watercourses that burst with life when kissed by the rains. Was this once the Garden of Eden? In some ancestral memory, perhaps. The land feels ancient, as do the San, its indigenous peoples, although the latter are also admirably adapt- ing to the realities of the 21st century while trying to maintain the old ways. Visit them, and look into yourself in an elder place that makes you feel very, very young.

INTER­ WELLFIELD ·i i,.. CO'ISULT in association with BRITISH GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Keyworth, Nottingham, UK MATSHENG AREA GROUNDWATER INVESTIGATION Technical Report T9 August 1995 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Usable potable water supplies are limited to the Matsheng village areas. Economic fresh water supplies identified during recent groundwater investigations are located in village areas of Lokgwabe and Lehututu. Brackish water supplies identified outside the village areas are not available for use by livestock using communal grazing areas as they are either in areas already occupied or in areas with other land use designations. 2. No significant usable water supplies were identified in the communal grazing areas through the MAGI programme, and based on the available geophysical evidence, the chances of striking groundwater supplies for livestock in Matsheng communal areas are poor. 3. Total water consumption in the Matsheng area during the past year (to May 1995) is estimated at 254,200m' (697 m' per day). Of this amount about 150,000 m' (60%) are consumed by livestock watered at about 150 wells, boreholes and dams on pans. 4. Matsheng village households using public standpipes consume about 670 litres per household per week, or 20 litres per person per day (67% of the 30 litre DWA standard rate for rural village standpipe users). Residents of the four RAD settlements served by council bowsers received a ration of about 7 litres per person per day, or just 23% of the DWA standard.

Abstract Camels were introduced to Botswana in the early twentieth century as a means of transport for the Botswana Police Service in the Kgalagadi District. This service was discontinued in the early 1980s and the camels were handed over to communities in the district for ecotourism activities. Since their introduction in Botswana, camels were regarded as government property and were never taken as alternative livelihood option that can alleviate poverty by providing milk and other products as is the case in other countries. This study explores the prospects of utilization of camel milk and milk products by assessing perceptions and attitudes of communities on the socio-economic importance of camels, consumption preferences for camel milk and value-added milk products. A combination of qualitative and quantitative methods was used to address the objectives of the research.

ISBN: 978-99968-464-4-1 PREFACE The Tourism Statistics Annual report is one of Statistics Botswana’s annual publications. The purpose of this report is to provide up to date statistics to policy makers and all other stakeholders in the development and management of the Tourism Sector in Botswana. The information contained in this publication is compiled from completed immigration arrival/departure forms. Travelers entering and leaving the country are required to complete arrival/departure forms at all gazetted points of entry/departure. This covers all land borders as well as airports. The report gives arrivals and departures statistics during 2014 and follows the 2013 report released in June 2015. Due to technical challenges, the 2011 report will never be released and the series of Tourism Statistics Annual Reports as a result has no data for that year. Users who require more information can contact the Directorate of Stakeholder Relations at 3671300. All Statistics Botswana outputs/publications are available on the website at www.cso.gov.bw and at the Statistics Botswana Library (Head-Office, Gaborone). We sincerely thank all stakeholders involved in the formulation of this report, particularly the Department of Immigration and Citizenship for their continued support and feedback, as we strive to better serve Batswana and all other important users of our services.
