Gaborone is the capital and largest city of Botswana, home to approximately 280,000 residents — remarkable for a city that barely existed before Botswana's independence in 1966. It operates on Central Africa Time (CAT, UTC+2), a fixed year-round offset. Botswana is one of Africa's great economic and democratic success stories — it transformed from one of the world's poorest nations at independence into an upper-middle-income country within a generation, largely on the strength of diamond mining revenues managed with remarkable transparency and fiscal prudence. Botswana consistently ranks as Africa's least corrupt country and one of its most stable democracies. The Okavango Delta — the world's largest inland delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the Okavango River fans out and disappears into the Kalahari Desert — is one of Africa's most spectacular wildlife destinations. The Chobe National Park has the highest concentration of elephants in the world.
