Botswana Adventure

Its is very important that your passport does not expire six months before our return date. You will be denied entry into Botswana if your passport expires earlier than this date.

If your passport expiration date looks good, please email a copy to info@unchartedadventures.co.

• Best: Color scan of your passport in .jpg, .png or .pdf format
• Good Enough: Up-close photo in .jpg or .png format (make sure there is no glare and all info is readable.)
• Make sure passport is SIGNED and that signature page is included in your scan or photo.

If your passport expires 6 months before we return from our trip, you will need to apply immediately for a passport renewal. Please click here for directions on how to renew your passport. NOTE: Routine renewal processing can take 12 weeks. Expedited (more expensive) is more like a 6 week turnaround.

If you do not have a valid passport, click here to apply for one.

Below are some arrival and departure windows we recommend you do your best to book your flights within. You may encounter a longer wait time at the airport and/or be responsible for paying the additional transportation costs of private transportation to/from the airport if you arrive outside of the suggested arrival window. (i.e. a private car service will cost $150-$200 USD in most cases.) If your arrival and departure dates are different from what is below you will also be responsible for paying for additional hotel nights.
