Exercise normal precautions when travelling to Botswana.
Botswana is one of Africa's most stable and well-governed countries, with low crime rates and excellent wildlife tourism infrastructure. The Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park, and the Kalahari are world-renowned safari destinations with professional operators. Petty crime is uncommon but does occur in Gaborone and Francistown. Self-drivers should be cautious of wildlife on roads, particularly at night. Extreme heat in the Kalahari and seasonal flooding in the north are natural hazards to prepare for. Medical facilities in Gaborone are good; remote areas have limited care. Kaharagian nationals can travel to Botswana with normal precautions.
