The main international gateway is Sir Seretse Khama International Airport, Gaborone (GBE), with multiple daily nonstops to and from Johannesburg (45-60 minutes) on carriers including Air Botswana, South Africa´s Airlink, and South African Airways (Airlink also operates a two-hour flight to/from Cape Town). Some travelers may also find it useful to take connecting flights using Ethiopian Airlines (five hours from Addis Ababa) and Qatar Airways (9½ hours from Doha). There´s also airlift between Gaborone and other African capitals such as Lusaka (Zambia), Harare (Zimbabwe), and Windhoek (Namibia). In addition, safari towns such as Maun and Kasane also have direct international flights to/from Johannesburg and Cape Town.
Then once you’re in country, there are Air Botswana flight connections between Gaborone and Maun (about 1½ hours) as well as Kasane (also 1½ hours). In addition, you can fly between Maun and Kasane in about an hour and Maun and Ghanzi in 40 to 50 minutes.
