Botswana travel advice

Botswana entry requirements
British nationals, citizens of most Commonwealth countries and the US do not require a visa to visit Botswana.

Health in Botswana
Travellers should be prepared for extreme heat in the summer. Tap water is unsafe to drink on the whole. Current inoculation requirements should be discussed with a GP. In the north of the country there is a substantial risk of malaria and travellers should discuss taking anti-malarial medication with a GP.

Travellers should not travel to Botswana without comprehensive medical insurance.
