Blank map of Botswana

Which file you take depends on where the map is going. A worksheet or a slide wants the PNG, a poster wants the SVG, and a handout on A4 or Letter wants the PDF. Each comes in two versions for Botswana: Outline only, and With borders, which draws the 15 administrative areas.

A report page that needs a map

A market report on Botswana can open with the PNG on the cover: its transparent background takes the colour of the page, so only the shape shows. Add the area names you need as text boxes in your own layout, for example Central, Kweneng and Kgalagadi, beside the figures they refer to.

Designers can take the SVG into Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma and scale it without losing sharpness. With 15 areas the file stays light and easy to restyle: one fill, a thin line and a drop shadow make a tidy base for an infographic.

A map beside the figures

The political blank map of Botswana is the With borders version: 15 areas, no names. Put the PNG in a handout beside a table of figures and add a caption saying which areas the table covers, with the spellings taken from the list further down this page. For a gentler task, the outline alone can take a colour and a title written by the pupil.

Adding what the file lacks

Names, pins, a title or colours need the editor: Customise this map opens the same outline there. For printing on A4 or Letter at 100% in colour or black and white, the printable map of Botswana has the ready-made sheets.
