While estimated daily expenses for vacationers in the landlocked African nation of Botswana are lower than many possible destinations, they are not so low as to make it a particularly affordable country to visit this year. Prices will be higher than they were last year, due to the dollar’s loss of 3.73 percent of its value to the Pula. Accounting for exchange rate fluctuations, the prices of most goods and services in Botswana are comparable to Romanian prices, but with estimated round-trip airfares coming out to nearly twice as much, Botswana ranks 19th out of 20 in overall affordability, as compared to Romania’s 11th place showing.
