Botswana has three networks: Mascom, Orange Botswana and beMobile (BTC). Mascom is the largest and has the best nationwide coverage, including in remote areas. In Gaborone, Maun, Kasane and Francistown, 4G is reliable, but across large parts of the Kalahari and the Okavango Delta the signal drops out. Networks: Mascom, Orange, beMobile.
For cities and safari departure points, 5 GB is more than enough. Expect no signal in the wilderness much of the time; many safari lodges offer only Wi-Fi via satellite.
Across large parts of the Kalahari, the Okavango Delta and Chobe there is little to no mobile signal; lodges there mostly run on satellite Wi-Fi.
