Countries that border Botswana
3 land neighbours: Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
3 neighbours to keep in the right order.
29 countries in Africa have more than its 3 land borders; it is the same as Burundi, Djibouti, Eritrea, Gabon, Ghana, Liberia, Mauritania, Malawi, Somalia and Togo. Of the 3 possible pairings among them, 2 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. South Africa is the most connected of them, with 6 land borders of its own. All of them are on the Africa map with Botswana, and on the world map with everyone else.
