Is Botswana one of our neighbours?

Dear Zambia,

I was looking at the map today of the Southern Africa region.

I was not sure where Botswana stands in Zambia’s neighbourliness.

That Zimbabwe to our southeast and them Namibians to the southwest seem to squeeze Botswana from her attempt to border Zambia. I can’t tell if Botswana touches Zambia or not.

Please advise, dear Zambia
