Botswana eSIM FAQs
Yes! Botswana supports eSIM technology, allowing travellers to stay connected without needing a physical SIM card. An eSIM provides a convenient way to access mobile data throughout the country.
Activating an eSIM in Botswana is simple. Purchase your eSIM online, scan the QR code in your phone’s eSIM settings, and enable mobile data and roaming. For a detailed setup guide, visit our how to install an eSIM article.
Absolutely! Using a travel eSIM is a whole lot better than roaming in Botswana and here's why:
- Cost Savings: Avoid high roaming charges by using local data plans tailored to your destination.
- Flexibility: Easily switch between different data packages without the need to physically swap SIM cards.
- Control: Gain better oversight of your data usage and expenses, ensuring no unexpected fees or overages.
This depends. If you're using a regional eSIM ie. Europe or Asia, then you can use it in the countries specified on our plan page. But, if you have bought an eSIM for a specific country only, then you can only use it in that country.
The good news is, if you need to purchase an eSIM for a different country, you can do that on our website (yep the one you're on right now) in just a minute or two.
Our Botswana travel eSIMs are data-only meaning you can only use them for internet and not calling or SMS messages, unless you use an internet based messaging service such as WhatsApp.
Connectivity: If you're having connectivity issues with your Botswana travel eSIM check out our eSIM troubleshooting guide for a troubleshooting process or of course contact us and we will get you sorted ASAP.
Installation: If you need a hand installing the eSIM we have a helpful how to install an eSIM article which should help you, or again contact us directly and we'll do our thing.

Top 3 things to do in Botswana
Safari in the Okavango Delta
The Okavango Delta is one of Africa’s most breathtaking wildlife destinations, offering a unique safari experience with its lush waterways, islands, and abundant wildlife. Unlike traditional game drives, here you can explore by mokoro (traditional canoe), gliding silently through the reeds while spotting elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and rare birds. The delta floods seasonally, attracting an incredible variety of animals, making it one of the best places for safari photography. Whether you choose a luxury lodge or a mobile camping safari, visiting the Okavango Delta is an unforgettable experience.
Explore Chobe National Park
Home to one of the largest elephant populations in the world, Chobe National Park is a must-visit for wildlife lovers. The park is known for its massive herds of elephants, particularly near the Chobe River, where they gather to drink and bathe. You can experience Chobe on a classic game drive or take a sunset river cruise, where you’ll see hippos, crocodiles, and stunning birdlife up close. The diversity of wildlife here is astounding, and the park’s accessibility makes it a great addition to any Botswana itinerary.
Visit the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans
For a surreal and otherworldly experience, head to the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, one of the largest salt flats in the world. During the dry season, the vast white landscape stretches endlessly, creating an eerie, lunar-like atmosphere. But when the rains come, the pans transform into a lush oasis, attracting thousands of flamingos and migrating zebras. You can go quad biking across the salt flats, spend a night under the stars in a remote desert camp, or meet the local San Bushmen to learn about their ancient way of life. It’s a unique and magical part of Botswana that shouldn’t be missed.
