FAQ

Does an eSIM work in Botswana?

Yes. A Simply eSIM works in Botswana over 4G networks covering Gaborone and the main cities. Install it before you travel and activate on arrival in seconds.

Is coverage good in the safari reserves?

Coverage is good in Gaborone, cities, and on main roads, and can weaken sharply in the Okavango Delta and remote safari reserves. Download your maps before game drives.

Does my primary number keep working during the trip?

Yes. Your primary SIM stays in place and keeps receiving calls and bank verification messages as usual, while your data runs over the travel eSIM.

How much data do I need in Botswana?

For maps and messaging, 1-2 GB per day is enough. If you share lots of photos and video, pick a larger plan — you can always top up from the app.
