Botswana eSIM

What's the best Botswana eSIM for your trip?

AloOui Botswana eSIM starts at $16.75 USD for 1GB of total data over 7 days, with larger fixed packages and Unlimited Lite, Essential and Plus for city stays and supported safari itineraries.

Keep your Maun lodge details handy, message your guide before a Chobe transfer or check a Gaborone meeting address where supported service is available.

Quick plan summary

• Coverage: Botswana only, not South Africa, Namibia, Zambia or Zimbabwe.
• Fixed data: 1GB/7 days, 2GB/15 days or 3GB, 5GB, 10GB or 20GB/30 days. These are total allowances, not daily amounts.
• Daily Unlimited: Lite, Essential and Plus for 1, 3, 5, 7 or 10 days. No longer Unlimited duration or Premium option is selectable; Plus is not Premium.
• Networks: Orange Botswana and Mascom, both up to 4G. The provider list does not specify 5G.
• Data only: no Botswana number, ordinary calls or SMS.
• Delivery: QR code by email after purchase. No ID verification required for the AloOui purchase.

Compare Botswana packages

Fixed data suits lighter use for maps, messages and bookings between Wi-Fi connections. Essential is the balanced daily option; Plus provides more high-speed data each day for heavier uploads or supported hotspot use. Compare total trip cost carefully: fixed 5GB costs less than either seven-day daily option when that total allowance is sufficient. For stays longer than 10 days, compare fixed packages with enough total data and validity. Larger allowances do not extend safari coverage.

Prices may change. Always check the product page for the latest prices before purchasing.

How daily Unlimited works

• Lite: 1GB/day high-speed, then up to 512 kbps.
• Essential: 1GB/day high-speed, then up to 1.25 Mbps.
• Plus: 2GB/day high-speed, then up to 2 Mbps.

Standard Botswana Unlimited options are Lite. Daily high-speed allowances refresh each day; reduced speeds apply for the rest of the day after that day's allowance is used. Unlimited does not mean unrestricted high-speed data. Fixed plans end when their total allowance or validity runs out, whichever comes first, without reduced-speed continuation. Actual speeds depend on connectivity.

Botswana coverage and networks

Orange Botswana and Mascom are listed up to 4G. The provider list does not specify 5G. Confirm the supported partners for your exact option if needed. Connection and speeds depend on your purchased plan, device, supported partner and local conditions; reception at every location is not guaranteed.

Okavango, Chobe and remote lodge stays

Save lodge confirmations, transfer details, maps and guide contacts offline before leaving reliable coverage. Do not assume continuous reception in the Okavango Delta, Chobe, Moremi, the Central Kalahari or the Makgadikgadi Pans. A network listing does not confirm service at a particular camp, game-drive route or mokoro excursion. Arrange suitable backup communications with your lodge or guide for remote journeys. Satellite service is not included.

A Kasane stay does not extend this plan across the border to Victoria Falls in Zambia or Zimbabwe. Check separate destination coverage before crossing.

Hotspot and keeping your existing number

Hotspot depends on your selected plan, device and network; confirm exact-option terms if sharing is essential. Shared usage counts toward the same total or daily high-speed allowance and speed limits. Large uploads, backups and streaming can use data quickly.

This eSIM has no Botswana number, ordinary calls or SMS. Internet-based messaging and calling depend on app availability and connectivity. If retaining your home SIM, check its roaming charges, turn off its data roaming and avoid automatic data switching.

Compatibility, installation and activation

1. Check that your exact device model and regional version support eSIM and that the device is carrier-unlocked.
2. Install the emailed QR code over stable Wi-Fi through your cellular or SIM settings, following your order's instructions. Keep the QR private.
3. When ready in supported Botswana coverage, enable AloOui, select it for mobile data and turn on its data roaming as instructed.

Validity starts when the eSIM connects to a supported network in Botswana, not QR delivery or installation alone. If already within supported coverage, enabling the line and connecting can start the plan. Follow your purchased option's activation deadline, expiry and top-up instructions.

APN, connection help and support through the Help Center

1. Check AloOui is enabled, selected for mobile data and has data roaming on as instructed.
2. If an APN is required, enter data.esim with username and password blank, then save/select it. Some devices configure this automatically; follow your order if its settings differ.
3. After installation finishes, toggle airplane mode briefly or restart.
4. Start with automatic network selection. If needed, choose a supported partner confirmed in your order or by support and move to a stronger-signal area when safe.
5. Check remaining data and validity. Keep the eSIM installed while troubleshooting.

Ask support before deleting the profile, changing devices or rescanning the QR code; do not assume transfer, reinstallation or QR reuse is supported.

AloOui provides customer support through the Help Center through the Help Center. Share your order number, exact device model, location and error privately.

Planning a wider trip?

AloOui's Africa and Africa Long Trip products do not include Botswana in their coverage lists. Do not substitute either based on the regional name alone. Use Shop with AI to find options for your itinerary and check every destination in the selected product's coverage list before purchasing.
