Transit

Botswana's public transit is basic. Gaborone and other cities rely on shared combi minibuses and taxis, while intercity travel uses buses and minibuses along the main corridors; passenger rail is minimal. Reaching the Okavango Delta and game reserves requires 4x4s, tours or light aircraft. Car rental is common and walkability is low outside city centres.
