A big month for festivals in the region; the rains are still around but the sizzling tem-
peratures are coming to an end.
MBAPIRA/ENJANDO STREET FESTIVAL
Windhoek's biggest street party occurs in March every year. It's also a good excuse for
people to dress in extravagant ethnic clothes that bring the streets to life.
MAITISONG FESTIVAL
Held in Gaborone over one week in March and/or April, this festival (
www.maitisong.org
)
is the highlight of the Botswana calendar for lovers of local and regional music, dance and
drama. The festival features an outdoor programme that takes place on several stages
throughout the capital.
