Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on February 27, 1953)

Happy birthday to Botswana's charismatic former commander-in-chief and forever safari adventurer, Ian Khama! From piloting military aircraft with effortless flair, leading as Vice President from 1998-2008, to his iconic tenure as the fourth President beginning in 2008—Ian has truly made history look effortlessly cool. No one else could combine compassionate community leadership and rugged outdoor charm so seamlessly.

Here's wishing you countless more adventures ahead! May your days be filled less with politics (though you've mastered it) and more with moments that make those around you smile. Happiest of birthdays—Ian—the man whose name rhymes perfectly with 'lion', fittingly for someone who's roared so strongly across Africa’s political savannah!
