    After
    Canada's travel advice says Bulgaria's economy is primarily cash-based, though most businesses also accept major credit cards and ATMs are widely available. The UK Foreign Office says major credit and debit cards are accepted in most banks and hotels.

  17. Botswana

    FAQ answer

    Before
    Can I visit Victoria Falls from Botswana? — Yes — Kasane is about 80 km from the falls, and day trips cross into Zimbabwe (Kazungula road border) or Zambia (Kazungula Bridge). You will pass full immigration both ways, so check the visa rules of Zimbabwe or Zambia for your passport (the KAZA UniVisa, when on sale, covers both).

  18. Botswana

    FAQ answer

    Before
    All travelers under 18 must carry a certified copy of their full (unabridged) birth certificate along with their passport. Minors traveling with one parent, or unaccompanied, should also carry consent letters from the absent parent(s). The rules mirror South Africa’s and are enforced.
    After
    Canada's travel advice says all travellers under 18 must present a certified copy of their original birth certificate and a valid passport. Minors travelling alone or with only one parent also need a written consent form from the parent or parents not travelling.

  20. Botswana

    Tip

    Before
    Northern Botswana (Okavango, Chobe, Kasane) is a seasonal malaria area, especially November to April. Use repellent and consider prophylaxis; Gaborone and the south are essentially malaria-free.
    After
    Australia's Smartraveller says malaria occurs throughout Botswana and is widespread in the north, especially in the rainy season from November to March, and suggests considering malaria prevention if you travel north of Gaborone. Use insect repellent.

  21. Botswana

    Tip

    Before
    Avoid driving outside towns after dark — elephants, cattle and donkeys on unlit roads cause serious accidents, and distances between fuel stations are long, so refuel whenever you can.
    After
    The UK FCDO warns that driving outside the major urban areas can be dangerous because of stray wildlife and livestock, particularly at night, so take extra care after dark.

  22. Botswana

    Tip

    Before
    Travelers under 18 must carry a certified copy of their full birth certificate in addition to a passport, and minors traveling with one parent or alone may need parental consent letters — checked on entry and exit.
    After
    Canada's travel advice says travellers under 18 must show border officials a certified copy of their original birth certificate and a valid passport, plus a written consent form from any parent not travelling with them if they travel alone or with only one parent. The UK FCDO says the birth certificate is needed on entry and exit.

  23. Botswana
