* By road - Most cities / towns are accessible by car as the main roads into the country are tarred and are in good condition. A 4x4 is only required when driving into the National Parks, a normal car will never make it due to the deep Kalahari sands one will encounter.

Malaria is found in the Northern regions including The Okavango Delta, Moremi and Chobe National Park - precautions need to be taken.

The AIDS/ HIV infection rate is estimated at 40%, this if you think sounds a bit high - it is one of the highest reported in the world. Please be responsible.
