Plan entry, transport, timing and experiences for a practical trip to Botswana.

Why plan a trip to Botswana

Botswana works best when the itinerary is organised around Okavango, Chobe and desert safari. The usual international planning gateway is Gaborone, Maun or Kasane, though the best arrival point may depend on the region and itinerary.

How to enter and move around Botswana

Typical logistics rely on air and 4x4 safari routes. Confirm current visa or travel-authorization rules for your passport and declared purpose before buying non-refundable tickets.
