15 July - President's Day in Botswana
Botswana Is Africa's Oldest Continuous Democracy. President's Day is a significant celebration in Botswana since it commemorates the country's most influential political figure. Botswana President’s Day is a one-day holiday celebrated on the third Monday of July. Until 2006, it was celebrated on the third Tuesday as well.
This tradition dates back to 1966 when Seretse Khama became the country’s first President after leading the country to independence along with his English wife Ruth Williams. This fascinating story was recently told on film through ‘A United Kingdom’ staring David Oyelowo and Rosamund Pike.
Botswana is home to a wide range of national parks and game viewing reserves. The uniqueness comes from the uncommon combination of desert and delta, giving the different parks each an unparalleled appearance. Almost all offer excellent wildlife viewing possiblities, each with their own highlights. People from Botswana, known as Batswana, are friendly and helpful. They are proud of their country and culture.
