Animals In Natural Habitat — And Real Sophistication
One of the high points of travel to Botswana is seeing animals in their natural habitat, be that the Rhino Trail, Nata Bird Sanctuary, Moremi Gorge, Chief’s Island, or Krokavango Crocodile Farm. Despite its natural beauty, though, Botswana offers a high degree of sophistication for travelers as well — resorts dot the country.
A passport with at least six months of validity remaining is required. U.S. citizens are permitted stays up to 90 days total within a 12-month period without a visa. Travelers who attempt to enter Botswana with a temporary passport must have a visa to enter. Visas cannot be obtained upon arrival in Botswana, and U.S. citizens without a visa in a temporary passport will face fines and long administrative delays.

Vaccinations:
A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required if entering from a country where yellow fever is endemic. The Government of Botswana advises, but does not require, an updated TPD (tetanus, polio, diphtheria) and a Hepatitis A vaccine. See the CDC’s web site for additional information.
