Botswana is a country the size of France but with barely two percent of its population. It is dominated by the flat, arid Kalahari so is a land of little water. Wherever water does appear, it has a great impact on the environment. This series looks at three unique habitats in Botswana that stand in stark contrast to the Kalahari.
