What are the pros and cons of living in Botswana?

Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in Botswana responded:

"Expats and digital nomads living in Botswana appreciate the country's natural beauty, with its diverse wildlife and stunning landscapes. They also enjoy the friendly and welcoming people, the low cost of living, and the excellent infrastructure. On the downside, expats and digital nomads may find the climate to be too hot and humid for their liking, and the lack of nightlife and entertainment can be a bit of a challenge. Additionally, the country's bureaucracy can be slow and cumbersome, making it difficult to get things done," said one expat in Botswana.
