| Health Care |
|
The dust and heat may cause problems for some people. Visitors should use sun protection, especially due to Botswana’s high
altitude. The public health system is good. All main towns have chemists, and pharmaceutical supplies are readily available.
Health insurance is essential.
|
| |
| Note |
|
* A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required from all travellers over one year of age travelling from infected areas.
