Vaccinations Botswana

Planning a trip to Botswana soon? Preparing well can help make your holiday enjoyable and safe. It is important to note that visiting Botswana carries certain health risks, so vaccinations are recommended and may even be mandatory. The vaccinations you will need depend on factors such as the regions you will be visiting and the length of your stay. Simply make an appointment with us to get personalised travel advice.

Botswana, located in the south of Africa, shares borders with South Africa, Namibia, and Zambia. The landscape of Botswana is dominated by deserts and semi-deserts, with the vast Kalahari being the most well-known desert. Winters in Botswana are quite warm and dry, while in summer temperatures can rise to tropical levels,  and the chance of rain also increases.
