Botswana Travel Guide

Overview

Capital:

Gaborone.

Geography:

Botswana is landlocked, bordered to the south and east by South Africa, to the northeast by Zimbabwe and to the north and west by Namibia. It also touches Zambia just west of the Victoria Falls. The tableland of the Kalahari Desert covers the centre and south. The principal wildlife areas are the Okavango Delta to the northwest, the largest inland delta in the world, which includes the Moremi Game Reserve; Chobe National Park in the north, including Savute and the Linyanti Marshes; and Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park in the far southwest, co-managed with South Africa.

The majority of the population lives in the southeast around Gaborone, Serowe and Kanye along the South African border. The vast arid sandveld of the Kalahari occupies much of central and western Botswana. The seasonal rains bring a considerable difference to the vegetation, especially in the Makgadikgadi Pans and the Okavango Delta.
 

Getting There

Getting There By Air

Air Botswana (www.airbotswana.co.bw), flies into Gaborone from Harare (Zimbabwe), Cape Town (South Africa) and Lusaka (Zambia). The quickest route from the UK is to fly to Johannesburg with South African Airways (www.flysaa.com) or Virgin Atlantic (www.virgin-atlantic.com) and catch a connecting flight from there. South African Airways also runs direct flights to Johannesburg from the USA.

Departure Tax

None.

Flight Times

From London - 14 hours (including stopover); New York - 19 hours (including stopover).

Getting Around

Getting Around By Air

Major areas of the country are linked by air. There are airports in Francistown, Ghanzi, Jwaneng, Kasane, Maun and Selebi-Phikwe. Air Botswana (www.airbotswana.co.bw) runs domestic flights from Francistown, Kasane and Maun to Gabarone.

Many visitors use charter companies based in Maun to fly to the various lodges in Botswana. These include Mack Air (www.mackair.co.bw), Kavango Air (www.kavangoair.com) and Kalahari Air Services (www.kalahariair.co.bw).

Car Hire

Major international companies and local firms offer car hire in Gaborone, Francistown, Kasane and Maun. In many areas, you need 4-wheel drive vehicles.

Documentation

To drive in Botswana, you need a valid national driving licence, which you can use for up to six months. If it's not in English, an International Driving Permit is recommended. 

Getting Around By Rail

An overnight train runs daily from Francistown to Gaborone and Lobatse.

Regulations

Speed limits are 120kph (75mph) outside built-up areas, and about 60kph (37mph) in built-up areas.

Road Quality

Botswana has good tarmac roads on major routes; generally roads range from tarmac to either gravel or sand tracks. Visitors should be careful as many drivers ignore safety rules. You should always carry reserve fuel, emergency supplies, and at least 20L of water on longer journeys. Make careful enquiries before setting out. Wildlife and stray livestock may pose a hazard.

Side Of Road

l

Taxi

There is a taxi service in all major towns, and it's generally safe. Make sure you agree prices before embarking on a journey.

Urban Travel

Public transport within towns consists of share-taxis or minibus services operating at controlled flat fares. Exclusive use of taxis is sometimes available at a higher charge.

This information is for people travelling on a full 'British citizen' passport from the UK. It is based on the UK government's understanding of Botswana's current rules for the most common types of travel.

The authorities in Botswana set and enforce entry rules. If you're not sure how these requirements apply to you, contact the Botswana High Commission in the UK.

Telephone: 0207 499 0031

Email: bohico@govbw.com   

Passport validity requirements

To enter Botswana, your passport must have an 'expiry date' at least 6 months after the date you arrive and at least 3 blank pages.

Check with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.

You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.

This will record your date and port of entry. Unstamped passports will raise suspicions of illegal entry.

Dual nationals

Dual nationals must enter Botswana on the same passport they used to exit the previous country.

Visa requirements

You can visit Botswana for up to 90 days without a visa.

If you want to work, study or volunteer in Botswana, see the requirements for business, study and employment visas.  

Overstaying a visa or a permitted visit can cause a delay to your departure. If you want to extend your stay, contact Botswana's Department of Immigration.

Travelling with children

You must have an original or certified copy of the full birth certificate of any child aged 17 or under when you enter or leave the country.

Any parent not present must sign an affidavit giving their consent for the child to travel. For more information contact the Botswana High Commission in the UK.

Vaccine requirements

To enter Botswana, you must have a certificate to prove you've had a yellow fever vaccination if you're coming from a country listed as a transmission risk.

For more details about health entry requirements and recommended vaccinations, see TravelHealthPro's Botswana guide.

Customs rules

There are strict rules about goods you can take into or out of Botswana. You must declare anything that may be prohibited or subject to tax or duty.

Taking money into Botswana    

Declare foreign or local cash currency if the value is 10,000 Botswana pula or more. If you do not, you could be liable to prosecution.

Terrorism

There is a high threat of terrorist attack globally affecting UK interests and British nationals, including from groups and individuals who view the UK and British nationals as targets. Stay aware of your surroundings at all times.

UK Counter Terrorism Policing has information and advice on staying safe abroad and what to do in the event of a terrorist attack. Find out how to reduce your risk from terrorism while abroad.

Terrorism in Botswana

Although there's no recent history of terrorism in Botswana, attacks cannot be ruled out.

Crime

Attacks on tourists are rare, but violent crime is increasing particularly in the major towns of Gaborone, Francistown and Maun. Criminals have also carried out hold-ups and robberies of restaurants during peak hours.

Protecting yourself and your belongings

Criminals may target cars waiting at traffic lights. To reduce the risk of attack:

• keep doors locked and windows closed
• keep handbags, phones and laptops out of sight
• avoid carrying luggage in your vehicle whenever possible
• do not stop for people at the roadside hitchhiking

House burglaries, often by armed gangs, are common. They do not often target tourists, but there have been isolated room break-ins and theft from lodges in the Chobe area, particularly river-fronting lodges. To reduce the risk of burglary or home invasion:

• lock your room at all times
• speak to your travel operator if your accommodation does not seem secure
• secure valuables in a hotel safe or other safe place

Sexual assault

Botswana has a high number of sexual assaults. While foreign visitors are unlikely to be targeted, women should take care when walking and avoid walking alone at night.

Laws and cultural differences

Personal ID

Always carry some identification. A copy of the photo page in your passport is usually enough as long as you can produce the original if required.

If you send your passport for renewal, make sure you have a certified copy that you can present in its place.

Illegal drugs and prison sentences

Drug taking and trafficking are illegal. If you're convicted of a drug-related offence, you can get a fine of up to 500,000 pulas (about £30,000) or a prison sentence of up to 25 years, or both. Prison conditions are generally poor.

Using cameras in secure areas

It is illegal to take photographs or use video equipment near military and government installations. Always ask permission before photographing people in Botswana.

LGBT+ travellers

Although same-sex sexual activity is no longer prohibited by law, public attitudes are less tolerant than in the UK and displaying affection in public may attract negative attention.

Read more advice for LGBT+ travellers.

Wildlife, animal products and souvenirs

It's illegal to buy, sell, kill or capture any protected wild animal or trade its parts. If you're caught hunting, buying or trafficking these goods you will be prosecuted. If you're convicted, sentences can be severe.

Outdoor activities and adventure tourism  

If you travel to remote areas, make transport and accommodation arrangements in advance and seek local security advice. Take emergency supplies, including water and fuel, and be prepared for off-road driving conditions. In very remote areas, travel in convoy or with a satellite phone in case of breakdown.

On open highways, inside or outside wildlife reserves, there could be dangerous animals roaming that may behave unpredictably. Always follow park regulations and advice from park wardens.   

Do not bathe in rivers and lakes. You could be attacked by wild animals and you risk catching water-borne diseases.

Transport risks

Road travel

You can use a UK photocard driving licence to drive in Botswana. If you still have a paper driving licence, you may need to update it to a photocard licence or get the 1949 version of the international driving permit (IDP) as well. 

You can drive with a UK driving licence for up to 90 days. If you intend to stay longer than 90 days, apply for a Botswana driving licence.

Hire car companies often have stricter requirements for their customers, such as a year of driving experience, a higher minimum age and holding an IDP. 

Driving conditions

Botswana has good tarmac roads covering most of the country, but driving outside the major urban areas can be dangerous due to stray wildlife and livestock. This is a particular risk at night, so take extra care if you're driving after dark.

The standard of driving is lower than in the UK. Many drivers ignore rules of the road. Speeding and drink-driving, or driving on drugs, cause frequent and often fatal accidents.

Taxis

To reduce risk of crime when using taxis, look for licensed taxis with blue plate numbers. Cabs run by a recognised taxi company will usually have branding and can be pre-booked.

Extreme weather and natural disasters

Find out what you can do to prepare for and respond to extreme weather and natural hazards.

Flooding

Botswana experiences significant flooding during the rainy season from November to March. Some parts of the country become inaccessible except by 4-wheel-drive vehicles. Get local advice or hire a local driver who knows the water levels and which roads to use. 

Before you travel check that:

• your destination can provide the healthcare you may need
• you have appropriate travel insurance for local treatment or unexpected medical evacuation

This is particularly important if you have a health condition or are pregnant.

Emergency medical number

Call 997 and ask for an ambulance.

Contact your insurance company quickly if you're referred to a medical facility for treatment.

Vaccine recommendations and health risks

At least 8 weeks before your trip:

• check the latest vaccine recommendations for Botswana
• see where to get vaccines and whether you have to pay on the NHS travel vaccinations page

See what health risks you'll face in Botswana including:

• malaria
• schistosomiasis

There are occasional outbreaks of anthrax among wild animals. Do not touch dead animals or carcases. If you suspect that you have come into contact with anthrax, seek urgent medical advice.

If you intend to camp or walk in the bush, take precautions to avoid tick bites, as they can cause several dangerous diseases.

Medication

The legal status and regulation of some medicines prescribed or bought in the UK can be different in other countries.

Read best practice when travelling with medicines on TravelHealthPro.

Healthcare in Botswana

Healthcare in Botswana is good in major towns, but medical facilities and communications are limited in rural areas. For serious medical treatment, medical evacuation to the UK or South Africa may be necessary.

Private hospitals will not treat you unless you can pay, and the cost may be high. Public hospitals will only take you as an emergency patient if you have full insurance. For outpatient treatment, you will need to pay up front.

Make sure you have adequate travel health insurance and accessible funds to cover the cost of any medical treatment abroad and repatriation.

FCDO has a list of medical providers in Botswana.

There is also guidance on healthcare if you're living in Botswana.

Vaccinations

Overview:

The dust and heat may cause problems for some people. Visitors should use sun protection, especially due to Botswana's high altitude. The public health system is good. All main towns have chemists, and pharmaceutical supplies are readily available. Health insurance is essential.

Vaccinations Note:

* A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required from all travellers over one year of age travelling from infected areas.

Tap water is considered safe to drink, although outside main cities and towns, visitors are advised to check first and sterilise water if in any doubt. Bottled water is available in most tourist centres. Milk is pasteurised, and dairy products, local meat, poultry, seafood, fruit and vegetables are generally safe.

Other Risks:

Vaccinations for tuberculosis and hepatitis B are sometimes recommended. Hepatitis C occurs. Bilharzia (schistosomiasis) is endemic; avoid swimming and paddling in fresh water. Tick-bite fever can be a problem when walking in the bush. It is advisable to wear loose-fitting clothes and to search the body for ticks. Rabies is present in animals. For those at high risk, vaccination before arrival should be considered. If you are bitten, seek medical advice without delay.

Currency Information:

Botswana Pula (BWP; symbol P) = 100 thebe. Notes are in denominations of P100, 50, 20 and 10. Coins are in denominations of P5, 2 and 1, and 50, 25, 10 and 5 thebe.

State-run television did not appear until 2000 and radio still has more dominance as a medium. Printed media are mostly limited to major cities and towns.

Go on a game drive in Chobe National Park

Chobe National Park is Botswana's flagship park and easily combined with a visit to Victoria Falls just across the border into Zimbabwe or Zambia. The park itself is vast, wild and home to more than 100,000 elephants, sometimes seen in herds of up to 500. There are also plenty of predators, including leopard, lion and the critically-endangered African wild dog.

Get lost in Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park

Encompassing ancient animal migration routes between Botswana and South Africa, this enormous desert park is bigger than the Netherlands and famed for its big cat population, particularly lion and cheetah. Other attributes include incredible night skies and overpowering stillness. It's still a relatively underexplored park, and a special place for wild camping.

Roar across the Makgadikgadi Pans

Traverse one of the world's largest salt pans on a quad bike to make the most of the awe-inspiring vistas and sense of isolation. Come at the right time of year and you'll also see southern Africa's most spectacular zebra and wildebeest migrations. The barren landscape is occasionally punctuated by strange and picturesque islands of baobab trees. You might spot the rare brown hyena here.

Paddle around the Okavango Delta

The oasis of the Okavango Delta is one of Africa's most iconic destinations and not without good cause. Positively teeming with wildlife and birdlife, this region of vast grass flats, low tree-covered ridges and narrow and intricate waterways is best explored in a mokoro, a traditional dugout canoe. This rustic means of transport takes you closer to the delta's staggering biodiversity.

Cruise along the Chobe River

The languid and life-giving Chobe River is both exceptionally beautiful and bursting with wildlife. Probably the best place in Africa to see elephants swimming, you'd also be hard pushed to find a better spot for an evening boat cruise and a sundowner or three with hippos belly laughing all about you. To take the experience to another level, book a Chobe houseboat holiday.

Venture into Central Kalahari Game Reserve

Remote, enormous and virtually unexplored, the Central Kalahari Game Reserve is a refuge both for iconic wildlife and the country's few remaining Bushmen, nomadic hunter gatherers indigenous to southern Africa. Often referred to as one of Africa's last true wildernesses, roaring lions may be the only sound to puncture the overpowering desert stillness here.

Trek in the sacred Tsodilo Hills

Tsodilo Hills is a UNESCO World Heritage Site held sacred by Botswana's San Bushmen. Known to have been inhabited for at least 100,000 years, these dramatic, isolated hills are decorated with thousands of fascinating ancient rock paintings. A number of different hiking trails showcase both the stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage of these ancient landscapes.

Experience the beauty of Moremi Wildlife Reserve

Botswana's Moremi Wildlife Reserve lies in the centre of the Okavango Delta. The reserve encompasses a wide range of habitats – from wetlands, floodplains and reed beds to forests and savannah woodlands. The fauna inhabiting this pristine park is abundant and equally diverse, ranging from exotic birds, zebras, buffalo, wildebeest and giraffes to hippos and lions.

Sleep with the rhinos at Khama Rhino Sanctuary

Established in 1992, this community-based wildlife project is a shining example of Botswana's sterling conservation work and its emphasis on sustainable tourism. The peaceful sanctuary provides a safe haven for both white and black rhino, previously wiped out across most of the country, and there are onsite chalets and camping facilities.

Overview

Woodcarvings, handcrafted jewellery, textiles and attractive basketry are recommended. The Okavango Delta villages of Etsha and Shorobe are particularly famous for Ngamiland-style baskets. Modern Bushman art and ostrich-eggshell jewellery can be browsed and purchased at D'Kar, 40km (25 miles) north of Ghanzi. There also occasional exhibitions at the National Museum in Gaborone.

Opening Hours

Mon-Fri 0800-1800, Sat 0830-1300.

Overview

Most of Botswana's safari lodges and camps serve excellent international-style cuisine that incorporates local influences such as game meats or traditional maize or sorghum-based Botswanan staples.

Good restaurants and bars can be found in most major towns and cities, often in the hotels. In rural villages and less developed areas food is generally more basic, usually consisting of a stiff maize-based porridge (pap) with some form of stew. Goat, beef, chicken and river fish are all common sources of protein for locals.

There are plenty of locally grown vegetables and fruits available at local markets, including the interesting marula fruit and tasty local wild spinach. Watermelons are also believed to have originated in Botswana.

Regional Specialities

Tipping

A discretionary 5 to 10%. In many places, a service charge is automatically added. It is customary to tip the game guide and lodge staff while on safari.

Drinking Age

18.

Hotels

Botswana's main urban centres - Gaborone, Francistown, Kasane and Maun - all have a number of hotels and motels which generally maintain a reasonable standard. The top-end hotels offer air conditioning, swimming pools and entertainment such as film screenings, live music and dance shows; there are also budget places with fairly basic amenities. Botswana Tourism Department (see Contact Addresses) lists accommodation options online.

Grading: Botswana operates a standard 5-star rating system for all hotels, lodges and camps.

Camping Caravaning

There are campsites at the main national parks and game reserves. Grass fires should not be started, and all litter should be removed. The presence of dangerous animals makes it advisable to exercise extreme care. Visitors are not permitted to leave their vehicles in a national park or game reserve unless in a designated area.

History

The first people to settle in Botswana were the San Bushmen, nomadic hunter-gatherers whose territories are also thought to have spanned present-day Namibia, Angola, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Their influence is still evident in southern Africa, where these indigenous inhabitants eke out traditional lives as hunter-gatherer. Examples of their early rock art are also still visible across the region.

From the 17th century the San Bushmen started to come under pressure from migrating Bantu tribes, who had migrated from sub-Saharan Africa. A further series of migrations followed and by the 18th century these migrants were firmly established in the southern part of Botswana, and had established a powerful military state controlling hunting, cattle-breeding and copper mining.

The 19th century brought another period of upheaval, as inhabitants from the north of the continent, dislocated by slavery and the collapse of their local economies, moved to new territories.

British colonialists and Boer settlers then came along and vied for control of Botswana; the local rulers allied themselves with the British against the Boers, and Botswana was eventually brought under British protectorate control in 1890, remaining so until independence in 1966.

Popular Seretse Khama became the country's first president – a position he held until his death in 1980 – and subsequent elections have remained peaceful and democratic.

In the late 1960s, diamonds were discovered in Botswana and became the primary driving factor for the country’s economic growth and independence. These riches have, unlike in other parts of Africa, helped the country become a veritable African success story.

During the 1980s and 1990s, Botswana was an important player in South Africa’s apartheid struggle, providing refuge for a number of guerrilla fighters and political exiles. Today, Botswana’s key domestic priority is to tackle the AIDS pandemic. Botswana's infection rate, estimated at 25 per cent of the total population, is among the world's highest.

For any persisting issues, under current president Ian Khama, first elected in 2008, Botswana continues to be a shining light of peaceful, non-racial, multi-party democracy on the African continent.

Did you know?
• The Jwaneng diamond mine, located in the south of the country, is the world’s richest diamond mine.
• The word lekgoa, which locals often use to refer to foreigners, literally translates as ‘spat out by the sea’.
• The wife of Botswana’s first president, Seretse Khama, and mother of current president, Ian Khama, was an English woman named Ruth Williams.

 

Religion

Christianity, Roman Catholic and indigenous beliefs. There are numerous small Zionist and Apostolic churches in rural villages, as well as United Reformed (Congregational and Methodist), Dutch Reformed, Lutheran, Methodist and Anglican churches, and predominantly expatriate Muslim, Quaker, Hindu and Bahai congregations in major towns.

Social Conventions

As most people in Botswana follow their traditional pattern of life, visitors should be sensitive to customs which will inevitably be unfamiliar to them. Outside urban areas and safari destinations, people may well not be used to visitors. Casual clothing is acceptable and, in urban centres, normal courtesies should be observed.

Photography: Airports, official residences and defence establishments should not be photographed. Permission should be obtained to photograph local people.

Best Time To Visit:

The landlocked Botswana is semi-arid and has two main seasons: wet and dry.

The dry season is from May to October. This is peak season for wildlife safari as animals are much easier to spot because the vegetation is less dense, and animals tend to congregate around waterholes. Temperatures are around 25°C (77°F), but they are at least 10 degrees cooler in the south. The Kalahari Desert, in the southwest, may experience cold and frosty early mornings and evenings too.

The wet season is from November to April. November can be very hot and humid, while January and February are the wettest months. Some safari lodges and camps are closed during this period too.

If you are visiting the Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park, the months from June to September are the best time.

Required Clothing

Loose, natural fabrics are recommended, with wet-weather gear and warmer clothes according to the season and area visiting.
