Can I get out of my vehicle during a safari experience?
Visitors should never get out of a vehicle, except in designated areas. Most parks and game reserves recommend all visitors to stay in the vehicle, even in designated areas. Always keep an eye out for dangerous wildlife.
What should I wear during a safari?
Most safaris have an early start, so it's important to wear layered outfits. Visitors should bring along a light jacket or fleece, and ensure that they wear muted colours such as shades of green, brown, and khaki.
Natural colours ensure help visitors blend in with the surroundings and do not disturb the wildlife in the area.
What are the medical health precautions in Botswana?
Botswana is a malaria-risk area and all parks and reserves propose anti-malaria medication as a preventative precaution. Visitors should consult their doctors about the treatment at least one week before the trip.
Furthermore, visitors may come across less common illnesses such as dengue, tick-bite fever, and sleeping sickness. However, all camps and lodges stock insect repellants and mosquito nets to avoid such insect-borne illnesses.
