The biggest problem in their geography is how dry it is due to the heat and dust storms that sweep the country from the Kalahari Desert that covers most of the west side of the country.

During season of high winds, it is likely that the Kalahari Desert will start sweeping dust storms to the east. Droughts are also quite common as their rain seasons are unpredictable.

As such, Botswana didn't endure much of the suffering other colonies did under Imperialism but rather only benefited from it.
