Educational Travelers
At Mokolodi Backpackers we understand the importance of cultural exchange. We would like to do everything we can to make it possible for your educational institution to visit Botswana. Share your way of life with us, while experiencing our unique African culture and the spirit of Ubuntu – meaning ‘I am because you are’, we are human through the humanity of others.
Botswana is a country of contrasts, a thriving economy, surrounded by hundreds of kilometres of unspoilt nature. A modern way of life, firmly rooted in the beliefs and practices of generations past. Take your classroom on the road and open up brand new horizons to your students.
