chats with

Sebati about this seemingly great concept whose purpose is to bring more tourism to Ngamiland and Okavango areas.

I must say you are doing a great job by promoting this part of the country. Briefly tell us what this is all about and who is coming to the show?

Okavango is Calling is an event that promotes Okavango Delta as our heritage and our tourism site. The idea is to bring all 23 nations that have embassies in Botswana to showcase their tourism while we showcase ours.

How is the response so far? Will all the said countries participate in the line-up of events?

Already, few have confirmed but the response is good so a lot of them are still coming forward.
