- Botswana Vs Namibia. Which Country is better?
Botswana, officially known as the Republic of Botswana, is a landlocked country in Southern Africa. The Kalahari Desert covers up to 70% of Botswana's land area, making it topographically flat. South Africa borders it on the south and southeast, Namibia on the west and north, and Zimbabwe on the north-east. It is connected to Zambia by the Kazungula Bridge, which spans the Zambezi River. Botswana has a population of little over 2.3 million inhabitants, making it one of the world's most sparsely populated countries. Gaborone, the country's capital and largest city, has a population of 11.6 percent. It was one of the poorest countries in the world in the late 1960s, with a GDP per capita of roughly US$70 per year. It has since progressed to become an upper-middle-income country with one of the world's fastest-growing economies. Namibia, on the other hand, is a South African country legally known as the Republic of Namibia. Its western border is formed by the Atlantic Ocean. Zambia and Angola border it on the north, Botswana on the east, and South Africa on the south and east. The Botswanan right bank of the Zambezi River separates the two countries by fewer than 200 meters, while not bordering Zimbabwe. Namibia declared independence from South Africa on March 21, 1990, following the Namibian War of Independence. The capital and largest city of Namibia is Windhoek. Namibia is a member of the United Nations, the Southern African Development Community, the African Union, and the Commonwealth of Nations. Thank you for taking the time to join us. Today, we're comparing Botswana and Namibia to see who is the superior country. We'll compare and contrast the two countries based on geography and terrain, infrastructure, tourism, and a variety of other factors. As the comparison continues, stay tuned to Africa Reloaded.

I love both Namibia and Botswana.
As a South African i believe SA 🇿🇦 Namibian 🇳🇦 and Botswana 🇧🇼 are the best countries in Africa they always feature on the top 10 and top 20 in Africa...💖 Southern trio
I’ve noticed , where South Africa doesn’t take the number 1 spot , Namibia does , where Namibia doesn’t , South Africa does , very consistent, despite the two countries having to get their independence in the 90s they surely leveled up the playing field ,, & people still don’t believe me when I say Southern Africa is the developed part of Africa
@@pushingp6945 thats absolutely true.both countries are new yet have achieved so much in a short period of time. If the 3 countries can come together no country in Africa and the developing world can come close to it...
e.g. economy 2022 est
🇿🇦 $ 435 billion
🇧🇼 $ 16 billion
🇳🇦 $ 14 billion
Total $ 465 billion
GDP ppp
🇿🇦 $ 1.2 trillion
🇧🇼 $ 44 billion
🇳🇦 $ 26 billion
Total $1.320 trillion
That is a very big economy
And the combined population of about 65 million that is a big market.
@@zarreaction8037 very true , not to mention the infrastructure that these countries have are top level …. People in comments will come and say “it’s because of the whites” well every country was colonized , the rest of Africa got its independence but what Did they do with the infrastructure that was left for them by white they destroyed them beyond maintenance, while here in Southern Africa we took what we got and upgraded it even further
@@pushingp6945 dam you get it
Well said thank you ❤
I would love to visit both my neighbours Namibia and Botswana. Love from SA 🇿🇦
I have been to both countries. They are both dope. Calm, peaceful and prosperous. Both are sparsely populated with the most beautiful people you'll ever come across.
Besides, I'm married to a Setswana woman from Botswana. God bless both.
Wow TheManHimSelf. Fantastic TheManHimSelf
Namibia is on another level with development it’s second to South Africa in Southern Africa ,,, Geographically it’s unmatched
The beaches are beautiful too!
😂😂😂😂😂😂u are crazy
@@taskvines2469 & you lack knowledge, Botswana is a village compared to Namibia
Yah on development it's second to Namibia.....but Zimbabwe,Angola, Mozambique have better infrastructure than Namibia
@@taskvines2469 you are mad , Namibia is voted to have the best infrastructure including roads in Africa, u can’t compare to things like Angola & Zimbabwe that got old buildings that are rusting , Zimbabweans are running from their country to South Africa,…… Namibia feeds & educates the whole of Angola , all those damn countries can’t take care of themselves they’re dependent on SA & Namibia
Botswana vs Namibia is exactly like Nigeria vs South Africa. Botswana has big GDP and GDP per capita compared to Namibia but Namibia is far more developed than Botswana. Which one is better? Whichever conclusion you reach is subjective.
Very interesting!
Namibia was developed by the Germans whilst Botswana did everything from scratch0
@@malpheshopeshy55 Germans left after WW2, and Boers build nothing in Namibia they took all the resources to South Africa. But still even after Independence Namibia is developing at a faster rate than Botswana.

@@eberhard1991 I'm shocked by these comments 😂😂 like did these people see how Namibia was at Independence compared to now?
There has been development, actually most of the development has been achieved in the past 20+ years. They should stop lying
Am a Namibian we have a lot of Tswana people so is Botswana having a lot of Herero people who are actually Namibians... it’s not wise to compare them..
But am against Botswana having Americans military base.. Botswana wake up chase those Americans away from your land..
Actually the Tswanas in Namibia are Namibian. They didn't migrate from Botswana to Namibia. They moved to what is now called Namibia before the white man created these countries called Namibia, South Africa, Botswana etc.
Americans are our allies no further discussion
Namibia is ahead in infrastructre, Botswana is ahead in human development index.
its not
Botswana loves & respects Namibia. Most people from Botswana (I'm one) would respectfully and happily agree that, although Bots economy and HDI is stronger, Namibian infrastructure is superior (Namibia became industrialized far earlier, benefiting from great infrastructure developments, but at great human cost, i.e. apartheid, genocide, slavery, all of which were absent in the then agrarian Botswana).
I am always going to support Botswana no matter what
For me Namibia, because Namibia has a coastline! I love the beaches in Namibia. Also, the Oshiwambo are the largest ethnic group of Namibia (one thing that wasn't mentioned in the video). Good video though!
FACTS
@@amapolotv5201 good to see you here!
My honest review. I have been to both countries. Namibia has many developed towns, racially/culturally diverse, much better infrastructure and lots of investment/job opportunities. Namibian towns like Swakopmund, Ludetitz, Windhoek have a European feel. Botswana has the upper edge in economic management and social security, but there are no jobs nor substantial investment in Botswana. In terms of infrastructure, the capital city Gaborone is slightly developed but not as much, as you will find cows roaming in the streets. The rest of the country is bushes, rural areas, game rserves and desert. However, Botswana has a good education system compared to Namibia. Namibia attracts a lot of foreign investment, they have beautiful coasts as well.
Botswana forever 🇧🇼
Botswana is my choice ✌️
Southern Africa is beautiful these countries are incomparable they are uniquely beautiful
Better interms of what?
Botswana is better that's facts and final change my mind
Namibia is not a South African country its a South West African country and mostly populated with the oshiwambo speaking people. Why are you putting Namibian cars and buildings while talking about Botswana? You clearly didn't do enough research, you dont know what you are talking about. I dislike 👎
Fillip, I think we should appreciate that someone has taken their time and effort to visit and promote our country, yes he might have not synchronized his voice-over with the video. Namibia is in southern Africa and yes you could be more specific by saying south west Africa but this does not qualify for such a comment that does more damage than good. In his final remark, he mentions that these are both fantastic countries but he personally prefers Botswana. It's his personal experience. Please let's focus on the positive remarks given to the region rather than a country. Let's go visit Botswana.
@@rovoski101 Wrong information leads to wrong! When doing research should be accurate and trustworthy.
@@mwanykange thank you🤝🏿😌
@@rovoski101 I wish to visut Namibia and both countries are fantastic proud to be a motswana love Namibia as a neighbor
Namibia is in the south region of Africa aka South Africa. People usually say Southern Africa because they don't want to confuse people with the country South Africa.
Please stop comparing countries. Botswana cannot be compared to Namibia. Namibia has been developed from time immemorial.
Botswana loves & respects Namibia. Most people from Botswana (I'm one) would respectfully and happily agree that Namibian infrastructure is superior (Namibia became industrialized earlier, benefiting from great infrastructure developments, but at great human cost, i.e. apartheid, genocide, slavery, all of which were absent in the then agrarian Botswana).
Namibia is my old age country, I hope to take my family there and grow old there God willing
Namibia is better ofcourse
I'll repeat this, Botswana loves & respects Namibia. Most people from Botswana (I'm one) would respectfully and happily agree that, while Bots economy and HDI is higher, Namibian infrastructure is superior (Namibia became industrialized earlier, benefiting from great infrastructure developments, but at great human cost, i.e. apartheid, genocide, slavery, all of which were absent in the then agrarian Botswana).
Because of the whites
if it helps you sleep at night
no country is better than the other no one will ever be better than the rest all country's have problems and all postive and negative areas in their country's around the world only thing that matters is how you tackle the problem ignore it or fix it depends on what you willing to do to sit on your behind or get up and work hard with your hands to fix the problem
Infrastructure wise, Botswana needs 20+ plus years to match Namibia.
Namibia was build by the Germans where Botswana did it from scratch
@@onalethataapadile7452 who told you this lie?😂😂😂
@@onalethataapadile7452 that's really poor from you Germans left Namibia in the 1800s Namibia invests in its infrastructure do your research boy/girl
There's ongoing development right now in the city of Gaborone including Airport city, 3 interchangeable road within the city and Windhoek doesn't even have such... Another upcoming Kgale lake city within Gaborone, you're indeed clueless Windhoek is stuck in one place.

I am a Namibian who is married to a beautiful motswana woman and we have four beautiful children. These two matured democracies has a striking resemblance. I love them all.
Stayed in both countries....Namibia is the best
Im a namibian. My family is also from bostwana it is very stressful comparing biuth countries ion pick sides but it is good that we include bostwana as they also desirve to be on the map.❤
I vote this country 🇧🇼 cause it has diamonds
Lies Botswana doesn't experience any load shedding.
I'm coming 🏃♂️
This is the main reason I am coming to Botswana instead of South Africa, lol.
This people should stop comparing our countries because of their lack of research.
What's the lack of research you are talking about here please?
@@ngoniasongwe6530 When you give out false information about countries, it's because one didn't take time to find out about the facts.This is a terrible and mostly false comparison.
I am a Motswana. All i can say is, SADC countries are doing very well in terms of democracy, infrastructural dvp, human rights, civil liberties, education only with an exception of Zimbabwe. I hope Zim catches up soon
There is still a lot of white racism in Namibia though.
Racism is indeed to to German people ! It is in they're DNA !!!!!.
@@tyronejones7341 sure there are pockets of racism. But racism is a crime in Namibia and can get people jailed. I have been living in Windhoek in since 1998, had a few white teachers in public school , white colleagues at work, white doctors, nurses etc. But I have not encountered much racism. There are racists just like in any place where there are white people, but they're a minority.
@@tyronejones7341 I notice a lot of people only mention about Germans whenever they talk about racism in Namibia. Seems you guys get your facts from documentaries. Which all have the same storyline about how Germans took land, genocide, show a few black people in informal settlements and one or two white farmers.
Fact is the majority of black people did not lose their land. The ones that got parts of their land dispossessed are the Hereros, Namas and Damaras. Also another fact is that out of a population of 200k white people Germans are only 30k. And there are only around 4k commercial farms, of which 70% is owned by whites. So not all white people own huges tracks of land. A lot of them don't even own houses, they rent.
Another fact, the most desirable agricultural land is in the two Kavango regions and Zambezi region and not an inch of that was taken by white people. Instead what was taken was arid land in the central region which is only suitable for cattle and sheep farming.
@lesleynko1241 - What a misinformed comment. Zimbabwe has several much bigger more developed cities than Botswana. Botswana looks like a rural village, you have cows roaming the streets and the only developed town is Gaborone, which is smaller than the second largest city in Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe has the most educated people in Africa. Botswana doesn't compare to Namibia, Zimbabwe and South Africa. In terms of infrastructure you are just like Zambia. Nothing amazing. The only difference is that you have newer buildings in Gaborone. The rest of the country in Botswana is bushes, rural areas and deserts.
I choose Namibia because of the beach
Botswana 🇧🇼 Batswana do have respect ❤
Why are we pitting African countries against each other? Is this the remnant of the colonial mindset of divide and rule? You could talk about these two countries without comparing them!
Botswana loves & respects Namibia (and vice versa). Most people from Botswana (I'm one) would respectfully and happily agree that Namibian infrastructure is superior (Namibia became industrialized earlier, benefiting from great infrastructure developments, but at great human cost, i.e. apartheid, genocide, slavery, all of which were absent in the then agrarian Botswana).
I thought similarly when he used the word ‘superior’. There’s a lot of weight to things like that. I know it’s a jump but many lives have been lost over that mindset because if someone’s superior the other is inferior, and sometimes inferior means not worthy of life.
All this don't mean nothing people what's more important is your own house how comfortable it is are your kids going to a good school can you travel at least once a year do you have access to good hospitals do you have access to clean water do you eat well not tall buildings and nice hotels you will never even dream to sleep in.
Yes I got u
Botswana, Namibia and South Africa are the most organised countries in the SADC region.
Namibia 🇳🇦 🎉❤
I mean I’m Namibian so
I will rather chosse Namibia our beloved land😊❤🎉landmark ❤ 3:20
Both are good, but Namibia has the edge because of the coastline…
This channel is too biased it's one sided, u should visit Botswana before making up things
very true
White folk LOVES Pitting family against EACH OTHER . And so many of our ppl fall for it.. Which Country is SUPERIOR? That's like asking a Mother wich child is SUPERIOR. MOTHER AFRICA LOVES ALL HER CHILDREN. ALL 54 COUNTRIES. I love Botswana bcuz of the Malls and the FOOD. I love NAMIBIA Bcuz of the Ocean and Sand Dunes. I love Botswana bcuz of the Wild Life. Animal reserves. I love NAMIBIA Bcuz of the BEAUTIFUL STARS AT NIGHT. you can actually see the Milkyway. THANK GOD HE GAVE US BOTH COUNTRIES. I love Both countries bcuz they are so relaxed n chill. And the people are so beautiful friendly and helpful. I always say dont worry if you get lost in Namibia or Botswana someone will ALWAYS HELP YOU TO FIND YOU'RE WAY .
You sure this guy was white?
Botswana is coming strong Maun now declared third City major developments underway to the CBD, Kasane might be the fourth because it also has an international Airport . Gaborone becoming industrialized by the day , Tech hubs growing and Batswana heavily involved , 1st Metropolis on the way , Airport City underway , economic zones in the 4 corners of the country .. Botswana will quantum leap in development in the NEXT DECADE . iam heavily invloved in the tech and innovattive space and i can assure you even SA knows Botswana is cooking something , its always Botswana , South Africa in the high level tech summmits /conference
I’m oshiwambo btw
There is no need to compare these countries I already knew Botswana was gonna win😎
Namibia is way better than botswana
Does Windhoek have interchangeable roads within the city, does Windhoek have Airport city if not then refrain from the word "way better "
Yes, city airport is eros park near Academia
poor research...electricity rarely cut in Botswana..
Let go for Namibia
Why are we putting two great countries against each other? This is not a so smart approach.
STOP HATING
@@amapolotv5201 Ag Relax, nobody is hating.🙄
Their approach is not smart as it is pining two countries against each other, we don’t need that kind of energy as a continent.

Botswana
Botswana was always a safe countrie i dont trust namibia

Botswana is way better than Namibia. And I'm Namibian.
I pike Namibia van I was born in name via with a Canada and here and vambos
Botswana has an upper hand ,i mean free education,health care ,no slums in Gaborone ,the government is doing well for its people
We also have free education and health care in Namibia 😂
Namibia is developed compare to Botswana that's a fact ....wats the use of comparing them..😮
Namibia is far much better than Botswana and Zimbabwe nad and Mozambique
@Tianyao Zhang yeah from scratch but it got its independence long time ago it’s supposed to be far ahead ,,,, and what development did Namibia have before independence?? Coz I live here and everything that has been built soo far is new built by black people
In terms of economy namibia is better but infrastructure it has no door against Zim and mozambique
Namibia
Stupid question
POOR RESEARCH AND BOTSWANA IS NOT BETTER THAN NAMIBIA
Gaborone is developing at a faster pace 3 interchangeable road within the city, Airport city whilst Windhoek is stuck!
Hi:) Botswana loves & respects Namibia. Most people from Botswana (I'm one) would respectfully and happily agree that while Bots has a stronger economy and HDI, Namibian infrastructure is superior (Namibia became industrialized earlier, benefiting from great infrastructure developments, but at great human cost, i.e. apartheid, genocide, slavery, all of which were absent in the then agrarian Botswana).
load shedding in Botswana 🥱 no such thing
Really? I’m actually thinking of studying for PhD in Botswana 🇧🇼 would that be a wise decision?
