Shake hands with eye contact and with a pleasant smile.
Take your time with greetings. There is no hurry.
Women may choose not to shake hands, preferring to lower their eyes and nod. Wait before extending your hand and follow her lead.
Dress conservatively in Botswana. Short skirts and dresses are frowned upon.
Shorts are fine for walking safaris, but otherwise men wear long trousers and women wear long skirts.
Our large, non-profit educational group for marketing executives looked for someone knowledgeable on the topic of business etiquette and one name kept rising to the top, Cynthia Lett. Her talk was amazing. Since we were limited by time, she focused on the critical aspects of business interactions. Cynthia is a tremendous resource for any company or organization looking for a protocol course.
