Opinion on Botswana is divided, though not dramatically: ratings run from level 1 to level 2. Seven of the nine take the stricter view, and the remaining two see no cause for it. A one-level split of this kind usually reflects differing thresholds between governments rather than a dispute about the facts.
Every government here has revisited Botswana within the past year, the oldest review being South Korea's in December 2025, so the disagreement is not simply a matter of one source lagging behind.
Your own government's rating is the one your insurer and embassy will act on, so read that source first — the one level of daylight between the strictest and most relaxed assessments here is context, not a substitute for it.
Derived from 9 government assessments for Botswana, most recently reviewed in September 2026.
