Frequently asked questions
How attractive is Botswana as a destination for visitors from Iceland?
Botswana offers a unique appeal for travelers from Iceland, characterized by its vast savannas and diverse wildlife. With a moderate number of visitors, it attracts discerning tourists looking for less conventional experiences. Given that around 100,000 Icelanders travel abroad annually, a portion of them may find Botswana an intriguing destination.
Please answer the following question: How safe is Botswana for tourists coming from Iceland?
Botswana is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Iceland. While Iceland ranks as one of the safest countries in the world, with a very low murder rate of 0.5 per 100,000 people, Botswana has a higher murder rate of 10.5. According to the Global Peace Index, Botswana is ranked 49th out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively safe environment, though it does not match Iceland's safety levels. In terms of organized crime, Botswana scores well in several categories, such as mafia presence and state crime, but it shows higher rates of certain crimes compared to Iceland. For example, Botswana has a higher rate of fauna crime (7.5) compared to Iceland (1.5). Overall, while tourists should exercise standard precautions, Botswana remains a viable and relatively safe option for travelers from Iceland.
