Botswana is a country located in Southern Africa whose official language is English. Over 300 American students study abroad in Botswana each year. As mid-sized country with just over two million people, Botswana is one of the most sparsely populated nations in the world. Around 10 percent of the population lives in the capital and largest city, Gaborone. Although 70% of the country is covered by the Kalahari Desert, it has become one of the fastest growing economies in the world, more reasons to consider study abroad in Botswana.
