Stay connected across Botswana

Coverage is reliable in Gaborone, Maun and Kasane, the main safari gateways, connecting through a local Botswanan network. In the Okavango Delta, Chobe and the Kalahari, signal is patchy and often limited to the lodges, so keep offline maps for safari.

Using an eSIM in Botswana

A Botswana eSIM keeps you online for a safari trip built around the Okavango Delta, Chobe and the Kalahari. In the towns and safari hubs you get reliable data as you land, while out in the bush coverage naturally thins, which is part of being on safari.

Towns, safari hubs and the bush

Gaborone, Maun and Kasane, the main safari gateways, are well covered. Out in the Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park and the Kalahari, signal is patchy and often limited to the lodges and camps, so download offline maps before you head out on a game drive.

How much data

A week of maps, messaging and photos is often around 5-10GB, with two weeks nearer 10-20GB, and more for heavy streaming or hotspot use. These are starting points, and actual use varies.

Travel eSIM FAQs

Will I have signal on safari in the Okavango Delta and Chobe?

Coverage in the delta and the parks is patchy and often limited to the lodges and camps, with little signal out on the game-drive tracks. Download offline maps before you head out.

Are there any calling or app restrictions in Botswana?

WhatsApp, FaceTime and other data-based apps can use your eSIM data in Botswana, subject to the app's own availability and any local restrictions.

Will it work in the safari gateway towns of Maun and Kasane?

Yes, the main gateway towns are well covered for maps, messaging and photos before and after your time in the parks.

Will I have signal in the Kalahari?

The remote Kalahari is patchy or without signal. Download offline maps beforehand and plan to be largely offline out there.

Does one plan cover the towns and the parks?

Your selected Botswana plan can be used across the areas included in its coverage as you travel between the gateway towns and the reserves, with mobile signal varying by location as above.

How much data will I need for two weeks in Botswana?

A week is often around 5-10GB and two weeks nearer 10-20GB, with more for streaming or hotspot use. These are starting points, and actual use varies.

Can I top-up or extend the plan later?

Top-up availability depends on the plan. Some eSIMs can be topped up, including certain unlimited plans, while others may require a new plan once the current one ends or runs out. Check the individual plan details for your selected option.
