Accommodation
Then there is the question of Passports and visas
Botswana welcomes visitors with open arms and for most nationalities, all
you need is your own passport valid for at least 6 months with one clear page.
Passports that are expiring soon, torn, scruffy, damaged may be refused entry!
All borders will issue a 28 day stay visa free of charge on arrival.
Please check at a Botswana embassy for your specific nationality.
An easy drive to start off the trip, an early morning start to beat the
city traffic, a smooth border crossing (took 30 minutes) and I was into Botswana!
First thing you notice is that there is less traffic, and a lot less towns
and buildings but the road is in excellent condition and I zip along carefully
under the speed limit to avoid the speed cops.
The journey was so easy I could have continued on past Gaborone but I had
booked a place to stay already so I spent a lazy afternoon around the city.
Gaborone is nothing special (no offence Gabs) its the place to get business
done in Botswana and a convenient overnight stop.
Its a clean, safe city with all the usual city things, shopping malls, banks,
restaurants, hotels, ATMs, internet etc.
