Overview
Botswana's passport opens many African destinations visa-free, particularly in southern Africa. There is some Caribbean access, but Europe and the Americas require visas.
Before you go
This is a landlocked country, so you reach it overland through a neighbouring state.
In the southern hemisphere, the warm season is December to February.
Check the visa list below for your passport, and confirm rules with the embassy before you book.
Arrange vaccinations, insurance and a return ticket ahead of a long trip.
