What to expect
Only one traveler report is available: a 2024 visit during a southern Africa trip, with two days in Botswana and no entry problems reported.1 That report does not say whether entry was by air or land, and gives no detail about questioning or whether officers had advance information.1 With a single account and no recent reports, there is not enough information to describe a pattern at any specific airport or border crossing.1
