Botswana Tourism: Travel Tips

The Botswana tourism industry is a well-developed and very professional one: it's a relatively hassle-free destination. The infrastructure is generally good, crime is low and official corruption almost unheard of. Normal passport and visa considerations apply.

Botswana may be a wild and adventurous destination but that doesn't mean that personal health and safety are jeopardised - safari operators are experienced and maintain high standards.

Please note that it is vital to consult a medical practitioner before leaving for advice on malaria. Most areas of the country - particularly the northern half - are malarial, especially during the rains from December to April.
