Ghanzi District, Administrative district in western Botswana
The Ghanzi District extends across 117,910 square kilometers of land, containing vast stretches of the Kalahari Desert and seasonal wetlands.
The first substantial migration to Ghanzi occurred in 1897 when Afrikaner settlers established cattle ranches in this western region of Botswana.
The district incorporates multiple communities, including San people, Afrikaners, Bakgalagadi, and Baherero, who maintain their languages and traditions.
The district capital, Ghanzi town, contains three major banks, shopping centers, and serves as a primary stop for travelers heading to the Okavango Delta.
The region contributes 75 percent of Botswana's beef exports to European markets through its extensive network of cattle ranches.
