Money

If you know which places you are going to visit, you can find out online if and where there are ATM's that you can use with MasterCard and Cirrus or Visa

Health

For up-to-date information about health risks, visit your own country's Foreign Department web site. Also consult your physician.

Safety

Travelling in some countries or regions is risky. That shouldn't always stop you from going, but a good preparation includes getting informed about risks.

Your own country's Foreign Department usually has a web site with up-to-date information about risks. Not only about (civil) war, but also about petty crime, availability of gas, quality of drinking water, medical services, etc.

To be on the safe side, though, also look up the CIA FactBook website.

Plan your trip to Botswana online

Through online reservation systems like À la Carte Vacations you can book airline tickets, hotels, rental cars and holiday houses. You can build a fly-drive itinerary with maximum flexibility, book a flight plus a hotel hotel for a night or weekend. Without the limitations of package deals from travel organisations and most times for a much better price.
