Botswana is one of Africa’s top safari destinations, renowned for its pristine wilderness, political stability, and low-impact tourism. Home to the Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park, the Kalahari, and Moremi Game Reserve, it offers diverse landscapes and abundant wildlife. Exclusive lodges, exceptional guiding, and vast protected areas make Botswana ideal for an authentic safari experience.

Botswana’s arts and crafts reflect its cultural richness and creativity. From world-renowned basketry and pottery to woodcarving, bone jewellery, Bushman beadwork, and mokoros of the Okavango Delta, each piece tells a story. Visitors can explore and purchase these handcrafted items in curio shops, markets, and safari lodges, supporting rural artisans and traditional skills.

Visitors to Botswana need a passport valid for at least six months with two or more blank pages. Many travelers, including those from the U.S., Europe, and Commonwealth countries, can enter visa-free for up to 90 days; others must apply in advance or via e‑Visa. Yellow fever vaccination is required only if arriving from a high-risk country; minors need certified birth and consent documentation

ravelers to Botswana should get travel health insurance and plan for possible evacuation, as rural medical facilities are limited. Vaccinations (e.g., yellow fever if arriving from endemic countries) and malaria prophylaxis—especially in the north—are essential. Protect yourself from insect and tick bites. Drink bottled or boiled water only, and be cautious with food and wildlife.

We encourage all guests to travel responsibly in Botswana—respecting wildlife, conserving nature, and embracing local culture. Observe animals quietly, minimize waste, stay on trails, and conserve water. Use eco-friendly products and engage with communities respectfully. Even simple Setswana greetings like “Dumela” (hello) and “Ke a leboga” (thank you) help build genuine connections.

Comprehensive travel and medical insurance is essential for Botswana. Ensure your policy covers medical emergencies, cancellations, lost luggage, delays, and high-risk activities. Buy it when you book, and check for exclusions. Airlines offer limited compensation for lost bags, so reliable cover protects your health, belongings, and investment from the unexpected before and during travel.

Pack lightweight, neutral-colored clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and comfortable walking shoes. Include warm layers for early mornings, a good pair of binoculars, insect repellent, and a camera with spare batteries. Soft bags are preferred for light aircraft. Don’t forget travel insurance, medications, and a refillable water bottle for eco-conscious travel.

Botswana is a dream for wildlife photography—bring a quality camera, telephoto lens (200mm+), plenty of memory cards, spare batteries, and binoculars. Private vehicles, off-road concessions, and night drives offer great photo opportunities. Always ask locals before photographing people. Research the culture and wildlife in advance to better capture the magic of your safari.
