A visitor to Botswana will encounter the beautifully animated traditions of Setswana dance and song, mud dwellings with thatched grass roofs, and traditional meeting places, or dikgotla. The village landscape is characterised by many cattle kraals, for the majority of Batswana continue to rear cattle according to tradition. Setswana traditional religion centres on such a connection with the ancestral gods, or badimo.

Traditionally grown chicken (free range) is considered to be better flavoured than commercially grown chickens. By cooking a traditionally grown chicken for a guest, a host shows special hospitality. Cooking chicken in a three-legged iron pot on an open fire gives it the best flavour.

Oxtail is another favourite meat dish.

Porridge (bogobe) is made by putting sorghum, maize or millet flour into boiling water, stirring into a soft paste, and then cooking it slowly. Sometimes the sorghum or maize is fermented, and milk and sugar added. This dish is called ting. Without the milk and sugar, ting is sometimes eaten with meat or vegetables as lunch or dinner. Another way of making bogobe is to to add sour milk and a cooking melon (lerotse). This dish is called tophi by the Kalanga tribe.

Because many vegetables are seasonal, they are often dried or salted so they can be used later. There are many different ways of cooking dried vegetables.

Bread flour is not part of the basic diet, but has been imported for some years into Botswana, so there are various bread recipes that have become part of the national food. The most common are dumplings (matemekwane), flat cakes (diphaphatha) and fat cakes (magwinya). For these, the flour is made into dough which is cooked in different ways such as boiling with meat, cooking in hot oil or in hot coals.

Popular foods in remote areas include morama, a huge underground tuber, and an edible fungus. Mopane worm, a grub that looks a bit like a caterpillar, is cooked in hot ashes, or boiled, or dried and fried.
