Tipping is welcomed in Botswana and in restaurants the usual 10% is acceptable as no service charge is levied. Guides and safari staff can be tipped at your own discretion according to the quality of their service. A general rule of thumb is US$5 per guest per day for camp staff and US$10 per guest per day for guides.
When on your Botswana mobile safari, all your luggage must be compact, light and very easy to pack into the trailer. Each guest is strictly limited to 20 kg of luggage in a soft carrier bag and an additional small day bag plus limited camera equipment.

Nationals of most countries receive an entry visa on arrival. These include most citizens of Europe and the UK, North America, South Africa and Commonwealth countries. It is essential that you check the visa requirements for your complete trip (including transits) before you depart. We suggest you approach your government travel advisory service, the country's embassy you will be visiting and transiting through or a visa agency. It is your responsibility to research and arrange your own visas. If you are refused entry into a country, it is your own responsibility and Your Safari will not be liable for any expense or inconvenience incurred as a result.
