Practical information
Good to know
Getting there
Gaborone (GBE) is served by regional flights, most commonly via Johannesburg (JNB) — roughly an hour in the air, or a four-to-five-hour drive across the border.
Where to stay
The city offers international hotel brands, boutique guesthouses and lodges. Official race hotels and rates will be released to the travel waitlist first.
Visas & entry
Many nationalities enter Botswana visa-free for short stays. Always confirm current requirements with your nearest Botswana mission before travelling.
Climate in March
Late summer: warm days, cooler mornings and the tail of the rainy season. Early starts and heat-aware pacing are part of the plan.
Currency & language
The Botswana Pula (BWP). English and Setswana are widely spoken; cards are accepted in most city venues.
Extend the trip
Combine the race with the Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park, the Makgadikgadi Pans or the Central Kalahari — itineraries coming with our partners.
General guidance only. Official travel, hotel and visa information will be confirmed closer to race week.
