VERY IMPORTANT: Travel with Minors (under 18) to Botswana 

Strict entry requirements apply for minors entering Botswana. Guests traveling with children under 18 must carry the following documents, even if both parents are travelling:

• An unabridged birth certificate listing both parents (mandatory).
• Affidavit(s) in the following cases:
• If traveling with one parent: affidavit from the non-traveling parent.
• If traveling without either parent: affidavits from both parents.
• Please note: Abridged birth certificates are not accepted.

Failure to produce these documents may result in denied entry into Botswana, causing complications such as delays for other travelers and difficulties in returning to the point of departure.
