Botswana: A Tsetse Fly-Free Safari Destination

Botswana

While tsetse flies were once a concern in Botswana, concerted efforts to eradicate them have been largely successful. Thanks to the implementation of control measures such as aerial spraying and traps, tsetse flies have been almost completely eliminated from the wilderness areas. This has significantly reduced the risk of contracting sleeping sickness, a potentially fatal disease transmitted by the bite of an infected tsetse fly. Enjoy a safe and unforgettable safari experience.
