Botswana uses 220 volts electricity and requires a 3-pin (square) plugs (Like that of Great Britain or Hong Kong), South African style plug (three large round pin) plugs, or European-style (two round pin) plugs but this is relatively rare.
Travelers will need a voltage converter for 110 volt devices. It is best to travel with your own adapters. It is not possible to use appliances such as hair dryers or electric shavers in the tented rooms as most of the camps in Botswana have low wattage fuses which will trip.
