Clues to look for
Cars drive on the left. Very flat, dry savanna with thorny bushes and sandy roads.
Driving side
Cars in Botswana drive on the left. So do Lesotho and Eswatini, which are also in Southern Africa. Fewer than a quarter of countries drive on the left, so spotting it narrows things down a lot.
