Botswana doesn’t have much of a literary tradition; all that survives are ancient myths and poetry written in praise. Indigenous languages only started being written when Christian missionaries arrived in Botswana in the late 19th century. Indigenous tribal rituals are still being practiced today with cults holding their sway.

The cuisine of Botswana is unique but also shares some characteristics with other cuisines of Southern Africa. Examples of Setswana food include pap, samp, vetkoek, and mopane worms. A food unique to Botswana is seswaa, heavily salted mashed-up meat.
