eSIM for Botswana — Instant 4G/5G Data Plans

Botswana's mobile network is served by three main operators: Mascom, Orange Botswana, and BTC Mobile. 4G LTE coverage is available across Gaborone, Francistown, Maun, Kasane, and most major towns, with coverage extending along primary road corridors. The Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park, Moremi Game Reserve, and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve are remote wilderness areas where coverage is limited to specific lodge and camp locations and may be entirely absent in many parts of these reserves. The vast size of Botswana and its low population density mean that large stretches of the country between towns have no coverage at all. MobiSIM connects through supported local networks to deliver reliable data in urban and semi-urban areas throughout Botswana.

Activate your MobiSIM eSIM before landing at Sir Seretse Khama International Airport in Gaborone or Maun Airport if you are heading directly to the Okavango Delta. Download offline maps for Gaborone, Maun, Kasane, and all safari routes and national park areas before departing town, as connectivity in wilderness reserves is extremely limited. Keep your home SIM active for calls while MobiSIM provides your data in areas with coverage. Most safari lodges and camps in the Okavango and Chobe areas have their own satellite Wi-Fi for guests, so treat mobile data as a supplement rather than a primary connection in those zones. If you are crossing into Zimbabwe at Kazungula or into Namibia, note your MobiSIM Botswana plan covers data within Botswana only.
