 Botswana & Zimbabwe (ITM)
This full color travel map of the African nation of Botswana also includes an inset map of central Gaborone. The legend locates international and district boundaries; municipalities from national capitals to villages; roads from freeways to minor roads or tracks (with point-to-point mileage); international airports, domestic airports, and landing grounds; railways and stations; streams, intermittent streams, salt pans, and swamps; caves; sand dunes; gasoline stations; viewpoints; national parks or game reserves; forest reserves; campsites or huts, lodges, and hotels; bridges; dams; wells; mines; historical ruins or archaeological sites; points of interest; missions and churches; monuments; museums; post offices; bus terminals; hospitals or medical facilities; embassies; police stations; and border crossings.
The map features hypsographical topographic contours (elevations are indicated by contour lines and color changes), photographs, an index of place names, and wildlife and historic facts about Botswana.
This is the fifth time that ITMB Publishing has updated and re-issued their travel map of Botswana. Updating is necessary, not only to record new information, but to keep the artwork compliant with current software. As computers become more refined, we are able to finesse maps more readily to make things more readable or to add new features. ITMB visited Botswana about two years ago, and they have fond memories of a Bushman encampment near Maun, dancing with an extremely short lady with an enormous bottom, of almost running out of petrol because the station at Ghanzi was dry, and of a majestic male kudu antelope crashing out of the bush onto the roadway mere seconds before they were to cross that same patch of land. The animal leaped into the air and disappeared somewhere on the other side of the track. This all happened in an instance, but is one of the reasons Africa is so enjoyable. The other change to this map is that ITMB has added Zimbabwe to the reverse side, to make the map more useful to users combining a trip to Botswana with a visit to ravaged Zimbabwe.
