Botswana is in southern Africa and is a landlocked country. To start getting your bearings, note its capital, Gaborone, its recorded languages and its currency; changing practical details need to be checked against up-to-date information.
Location and capital
Botswana is part of the southern African region. Its capital is Gaborone, the country’s political capital. These facts help you locate it, but they are not enough on their own to plan routes or transfers: the available information does not document connections or transport within the country.
Languages and currency
The languages recorded in the information consulted are English and Tswana. The currency is the Botswana pula, symbol P. These details are useful for an initial overview; before travelling, check current information about payments and services separately.
What to check before you go
The available evidence establishes basic facts about the country and its capital, but does not provide schedules, fares, flights, entry requirements or visiting conditions. Check these details with official sources or up-to-date providers before making decisions. When planning your itinerary, also bear in mind that Botswana is landlocked.
