Botswana Travel Advice, Embassies & Tourist Offices

Travel Advice

Most visits to Botswana are trouble-free but you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate international terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.

Visitors should be aware of an increasing incidence of violent crime.

Wildlife and livestock on Botswana's roads make driving hazardous. Avoid driving at night.
