Botswana

Health & safety

Dangers & annoyances

The greatest dangers in Botswana are posed by natural elements, combined with a lack of preparedness. While police and veterinary roadblocks, bureaucracy and bored officials may become tiresome, they’re mostly just a harmless inconvenience. Although theft occurs, Botswana enjoys a very low crime rate compared to other African (and many Western) countries.
