As most people in Botswana follow their traditional pattern of life, visitors should be sensitive to customs which will inevitably be unfamiliar to them. Outside urban areas, people may well be unused to visitors. Casual clothing is acceptable and in urban centres, normal courtesies should be observed. Airports, official residences and defence establishments should not be photographed - permission should be obtained to photograph local authorities. Clothing Heat and glare are fierce, so light clothing and protective gear such as hats, sunglasses and barrier cream are essential.
Insect repellents are often necessary, especially in the wet months.
