HRIDIR Home FAQ ISHS Home ISHS Contact ... Search International Society for Horticultural Science Horticulture Research International Botswana Climate Winds over Botswana are predominantly easterly to northeasterly, except in the south-west where the most prevailing wind is northerly. The mean monthly wind speed range between 5-10 km h-1. The year can be divided into dry winter season (May-August), rainy summer season (November-March), spring season (September-October), autumn transition or post rainy period (April). Temperatures in winter go below zero and in summer up to 38 °C. The climate of Botswana is therefore described as semi-arid to arid. Geography Botswana covers an area of approximately 582,000 km2 lying between latitude 18° south and 27° south and longitude 20° east and 29° east. It is completely land locked. The topography consists of a vast almost uniform plateau with an average altitude of 1000 m, although elevation ranges from 700 m in the North west and 1491 m (highest) in the South east. Horticulture Local production accounts for an estimated 20% of the national demand and the rest of fruits and vegetables are imported, mostly from South Africa. The main vegetables crops grown are cabbage, onions, tomatoes, spinach, and other leafy types. These are mainly grown in the open. Fruits grown include oranges, peaches, grapes ,mango and bananas. However, it is mainly citrus which is produced on commercial scale. Others like mushrooms, flowers and ornamental shrubs are also done in very few centers around the two main cities.

Exploring Botswana Exploring Botswana Africa Homepage Geographia Home Botswana is one of the few remaining destinations in Africa that still provides a good sense of the adventure of safari. Its expansive game parks and preserves, while offering wildlife as diverse and abundant as that found anywhere else, are still largely undeveloped and untamed. Botswana lies immediately to the north of South Africa. It is bordered on the north and west by Namibia, on the north and east by Zimbabwe, and is connected by a narrow strip of land on the northern border to Zambia. Its territory consists almost entirely of a broad, flat, arid subtropical plateau, though there are hills in the eastern part of the country. In the northwest, the Okavango River empties into the Kalahari sands, creating the largest inland river delta in the world. While the Okavango Delta is home to relatively few large game animals in comparison to other areas of Botswana, its clear waters and myriad small islands are home to an astounding variety of birds, plants, and smaller species of animals. Nearby is Chobe National Park, a beautiful grassland reserve that has gained international fame for its abundant elephant population. Southeast of Chobe are Botswana's enormous Makgadikgadi salt pans, home to large herds of blue wildebeest, several antelope species, and those international lovers of salt pans, flamingos.
