Discover the Rich Culture of Botswana

Botswana

Botswana, a landlocked country in Southern Africa, is home to the proud Batswana people (plural) or Motswana (singular). This diverse nation harmoniously blends Setswana-speaking and non-Setswana-speaking communities, each contributing to a rich and unique cultural landscape.

Setswana-Speaking Communities

The majority of Batswana identify with Setswana-speaking groups, including the Tswana, Kwena, Ngwaketse, and Kgatla. Their heritage is deeply rooted in the Setswana language, traditions, and customs.

Non-Setswana-Speaking Communities

Significant non-Setswana-speaking communities, such as the Bakalanga, Basarwa (San), and Bayei, add to Botswana's cultural diversity with their own unique practices and traditions.
