Frequently asked questions
How attractive is Botswana as a destination for visitors from France?
Botswana offers a unique appeal for discerning travelers, characterized by its vast savannas and diverse wildlife. With a moderate number of visitors, it attracts those looking for experiences off the beaten path. Among the 13.7 million French citizens who travel abroad annually, a segment may find Botswana an intriguing destination.
Please answer the following question: How safe is Botswana for tourists coming from France?
Botswana is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from France. While France ranks 40th among European countries for safety when walking alone at night, Botswana is ranked 49th out of 160 countries in the Global Peace Index, indicating a relatively peaceful environment. However, it's important to note that Botswana has a higher murder rate (10.5 per 100,000 people) compared to France (1.1 per 100,000). Despite this, Botswana's organized crime indices are lower than those of France, suggesting less involvement of mafia groups and organized crime networks. In summary, while tourists should remain vigilant as in any country, Botswana is generally safer than France in terms of overall peace and organized crime levels.
