Botswana eSIM for Maun, Chobe and Gaborone
Use a Botswana eSIM for a Maun arrival with confirmed onward transport, a Kasane stay with separate Chobe activities, or a Gaborone work or family visit.
Maun sits on the southern edge of the Okavango Delta and is a starting point for safari companies, flights and transfers. Save the organiser’s meeting point, onward confirmation and camp instructions before leaving town. In Kasane, a Chobe game-drive pickup and boat departure can be different arrangements even from the same lodging.
For this trip
Which eSIM suits a Botswana trip?
Before buying, choose enough shared data for transfer messages, maps, internet calls, uploads and use by your phone, laptop or companions’ connected devices. Set validity from the first Botswana connection through final departure, including transfer days and any booked stays in Maun, Kasane or Gaborone. Confirm Botswana in the exact product list and check Zambia or Zimbabwe separately for every booked cross-border stage.
Horizon sells the Botswana plans on this page, so the page is not a neutral market comparison or ranking. Check the available product details before selecting a plan.

How eSIM works in Botswana
Before the trip, add the eSIM over dependable Wi-Fi and retain the QR code away from the handset. Leave the line off until Botswana, then select Horizon for mobile data and enable data roaming on that line. For this Botswana plan, the first successful connection to a supported network in Botswana starts the chosen validity period. Keep onward flight, transfer, camp and return contacts available offline.
Install your eSIM
Scan the QR or auto-install in the app — no physical SIM.
Land & connect
Data activates on first connection at your destination.
Size it to your trip
Pick the profile closest to your trip. The estimate assumes normal use — maps, messaging, photos, a short call home.
As a rule of thumb, a 3–4 day city break runs on about 1–3 GB, a one-week trip on 3–5 GB, a two-week multi-country tour on 8–12 GB, and working on the road takes about 1 GB a day, so 15 GB or more for two weeks.
Recommended size

- Maps every day
- Messaging and photos
- A short call home most days
In total, a 5 GB data allowance covers roughly 1,700 shared photos, 83 hours of social media and browsing, 15 hours of video calls, 63 hours of music streaming, or about 1000 hours of maps and navigation. Messaging apps barely use data.
Important cities in Botswana
Maun and the Okavango Delta · City guide
Maun and the Okavango Delta
Maun is on the southern edge of the Okavango Delta and has an airport and safari companies. The airport, organiser’s meeting point and onward flight or transfer are separate details.
Maun and the Okavango Delta eSIM — set up before you fly →Kasane and Chobe · City guide
Kasane and Chobe
Kasane lies by the Chobe River and serves as a starting point for Chobe National Park. A game-drive pickup and a boat departure can use different places or contacts even when both begin near the same lodging.
Kasane and Chobe eSIM — set up before you fly →Gaborone · City guide
Gaborone
A work or family stay in Gaborone usually centres on one city address and may involve a different duration or daily data use than a Maun–Kasane itinerary. If the confirmed route continues to Livingstone or Victoria Falls, identify whether the next booking is in Zambia or Zimbabwe.

Why choose an eSIM for Botswana?
A prepared eSIM keeps one Botswana data line ready for messages in gateway towns and changes before a booked onward stage. Every Horizon plan has free hotspot use, and Horizon does not throttle it; the phone and connected devices share one plan allowance. The service is data-only and includes no local number. A compatible dual-SIM phone can retain your home line, whose provider may charge for its use.

Frequently asked questions
What should I save before leaving Maun for the Delta?
Save the organiser’s exact meeting point, any onward flight or transfer confirmation, camp instructions and a return contact. Keep the documents offline. A Maun hotel or airport pin does not replace the organiser’s directions for the next booked stage.
Does coverage in Botswana guarantee data at a safari camp?
No. A Botswana listing does not promise service at every remote camp, river or transfer point. Download the camp instructions and return details before leaving Maun or Kasane. Use mobile internet on a supported network, and save essential arrangements offline.
Are my Chobe boat and game-drive pickups the same?
Do not assume so. Treat each reservation as its own meeting arrangement, even if both start near the same accommodation. Save the activity name, time, place, organiser contact and return details for each one.
Does a Botswana eSIM include Livingstone or Victoria Falls?
A Botswana plan includes neither. Livingstone is in Zambia, while the town of Victoria Falls is in Zimbabwe. Botswana is also outside Horizon’s current Africa regional package, so choose separate suitable plans for Botswana and each confirmed stay in Zambia or Zimbabwe.
Can I share the Botswana plan by hotspot?
Yes. Hotspot is free on all Horizon plans, and Horizon does not throttle it. The phone and connected devices use one shared plan allowance, so include laptop work and companion use when choosing data. Remote network conditions can still affect the connection.
When does validity start, and is a number included?
The first successful connection to a supported network in Botswana starts the selected validity; installation or a failed attempt does not. The eSIM is data-only and includes no local number. On a compatible dual-SIM phone, the home line can remain active, but its provider may charge for use.
