Hi, we are planning a trip that will mean we go to Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa.

Can anyone tell me how big the passport stamps or visas are for each of these countries as my partner only has two clear pages left so if there are a couple of full-page affairs then she'll need a new passport before we go!

Hi

Think you'll need a new passport, sorry.
South Africa insists that you have 2 empty facing pages. (The stamp itself is not huge though). I've been travelling with a mate who was denied boarding as he didn't have 2 facing pages free.

Zim is a full page affair. Bots and Namibia are 'normal' smallish ones. Not sure about Zambia.
I'd get the new passport.

I agree with #1. Zambia is also a smallish stamp- not a full page sticker like Zim.
However, SA is likely to be a problem.
