The country is characterised by a dry climate and highland terrain, dominated by the Kalahari Desert and savannah. The Okavango Delta lies in the north, and the Makgadikgadi salt pans in the north-east. The capital is Gaborone. The economy rests on mining, especially diamonds, and on tourism. English is the official language and Tswana the national one. The best time to visit Botswana is from May to September.
