Travel + Leisure: Botswana is one of the Top 10 destinations 2020!

According to the 2020 edition of Travel + Leisure's annual list of the 50 best places to travel, Botswana is one of the Top 10 destinations 2020. The country was named ninth best place to travel to in the coming year. Main reason for Travel + Leisure to pick Botswana for the Top 10 is the vast variety of new safari lodges that will open in 2020 or have been opened during 2019, namely Tuludi in the Okavango Delta (July 2019), Xigera Safari Lodge in the Moremi Game Reserve (June 2020), Linyanti Expeditions' new mobile camp in Chobe National Park (July 2019) and the Great Plains Selinda Camping northern Botswana (June 2019).
