Botswana eSIM Plans

Tired of Unreliable Wi-Fi on Your Botswana Safari?

Planning an unforgettable journey to Botswana means preparing for breathtaking landscapes, from the shimmering waterways of the Okavango Delta to the elephant herds of Chobe National Park. However, staying connected in this vast wilderness can be a major challenge. Relying on spotty lodge Wi-Fi or facing the high costs of international roaming can detract from your experience. Hunting for a local physical SIM card upon arrival at Sir Seretse Khama International Airport (GBE) in Gaborone or Maun Airport (MUB) often involves long queues and complicated registration processes. A Botswana eSIM is the modern traveller's solution, offering instant, affordable, and reliable mobile data from the moment you land. It allows you to navigate with ease, share your incredible wildlife sightings in real-time, and stay in touch with loved ones without any hassle.

Why an eSIM is Your Best Companion in Botswana

1. Instant Connectivity on Arrival: Imagine stepping off the plane and being online immediately. With an eSIM, there's no need to search for a Mascom, Orange, or BTC mobile store. You can book your ride, check your hotel reservation, or let your family know you've arrived safely, all while others are still waiting in line for a SIM card.
2. High-Speed 4G/LTE Network: Our eSIM connects you to the robust Orange network, one of Botswana's leading telecommunication providers. This ensures you get fast and reliable 4G speeds in cities, towns, and along major tourist routes. Enjoy smooth Google Maps navigation, upload your stunning safari photos without delay, and make clear video calls back home.
3. Keep Your Home Number Active: An eSIM works alongside your primary SIM card. This means you can continue to receive calls and texts on your regular number while using the eSIM for affordable local data. Your WhatsApp, iMessage, and other messaging apps will function seamlessly with your existing contacts.
4. Avoid Shocking Roaming Bills: International data roaming charges can be exorbitant and unpredictable. A prepaid Botswana eSIM gives you complete control over your spending. You pay a fixed price upfront for a set amount of data, so there are no surprise fees waiting for you when you return home. This lets you allocate more of your budget to what truly matters—your Botswana experience.

Get Connected in Three Simple Steps

Forget about airport kiosks and complicated registration processes. Getting online is simple:

1. Choose Your Plan: Look through our available data packages and pick one of the four prepaid plans that best suits the duration of your trip, whether it's a short safari or an extended exploration.
2. Scan the QR Code: Immediately after your purchase, we will send a unique QR code to your email. Open your phone's camera, scan the code, and your eSIM profile will be installed in seconds. It's best to do this while you still have a Wi-Fi connection before you leave home.
3. Activate in Botswana: As soon as you arrive in Botswana, simply go into your phone's mobile settings, select the eSIM, and turn on 'Data Roaming'. Your phone will automatically connect to the local Orange network, and you'll be online.

Reliable Coverage Across Botswana's Highlights

Our eSIM provides dependable coverage through the Orange network, giving you peace of mind as you travel. You can expect a strong and stable connection in major urban centres like Gaborone and Francistown, as well as key tourist hubs such as Maun, the gateway to the Okavango Delta, and Kasane, near Chobe National Park. This ensures you can use navigation apps, check park opening times, and book tours on the go. While connectivity is excellent in these areas and along main travel corridors, it's important to note that in extremely remote wilderness areas, like deep within the Kalahari Desert or isolated parts of the Moremi Game Reserve, mobile service can be intermittent for all providers. For emergencies in these areas, a satellite device is always recommended.

Your African adventure doesn't have to end here. Many travelers combine their trip to Botswana with a visit to its famous neighbor. If you're heading south, stay connected with our South Africa eSIM.
