Botswana Overflight Permit and Ground Handling

If you're an operator of a business jet or a commercial airline with plans to fly over Botswana airspace, obtaining a Botswana Overflight Permit from the Botswana Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is mandatory. As a flight dispatcher, it's important to have a good understanding of the requirements for obtaining this permit. Some key points to keep in mind include:

  1. What are CAA's working hours, including whether they are open on weekends?
  2. Which aircraft documents must be submitted with the overflight request?
  3. Are there any fees charged by the CAA for processing the permit?
  4. What is the official validity period of the overflight permit, as determined by the CAA?
  5. How can the Botswana air navigation bill be obtained, either through IATA or a local agent?
Overflight permits are required for any aircraft entering Botswana's airspace. These permits allow the aircraft to fly over the country without landing. The permits are issued by the Botswana Civil Aviation Authority (BCAA) and are required for all types of aircraft, including commercial, private, and military. It's important to note that the fees for overflight permits vary depending on the type of aircraft and the duration of the flight. It's recommended to contact the BCAA for specific information regarding fees and the application process.

Travel Information :


Botswana, a landlocked country in Southern Africa, has a landscape defined by the Kalahari Desert and the Okavango Delta, which becomes a lush animal habitat during the seasonal floods. The massive Central Kalahari Game Reserve, with its fossilized river valleys and undulating grasslands, is home to numerous animals including giraffes, cheetahs, hyenas and wild dogs.

  • Okavango Delta
Arguably one of the most beautiful places to visit in Africa, the Okavango Delta is actually the world’s largest inland delta. It’s an oasis of islands, wildlife and lush green vegetation located in the middle of the dry unforgiving Kalahari Desert.
  • Kalahari Desert
Part of the huge sand basin that reaches from the Orange River up to Angola, this is where vast expanses of sand masses were created by the erosion of soft stone formations. The terracotta dunes have been shaped by wind and have a surreal, other-worldly beauty.
  • Makgadikgadi Pans
Another place with an unearthly beauty is the Makgadikgadi pans, the largest salt pans in the world. The salt-encrusted pans are flat and arid and come complete with a skyline which appears to go on forever.
  • Nxai Pan National Park
Nearby this national park consists of Nxai Pan, which is one of the Makgadikgadi Pan salt flats. Characterised by sand dunes, vast salt pans, the famous Baines baobab trees it’s a beautiful place which of course offers excellent opportunities to see bird and wildlife. Open all-year round, it’s located in northeastern Botswana so it’s easy to combine a visit with the nearby Okavango Delta and the Chobe.
  • Linyanti Wildlife Reserve
One of the most exclusive safari areas in Africa, this place caters to the well-heeled adventurous traveller. The peaceful private reserve covers some 308,000 acres and can be found in the North East of the country.
  • Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park
This is a sprawling conversation area which covers over 3.6 million hectares and is known for its red sand dunes and dry riverbeds. Expect to see predators such as cheetahs, lions, leopards and hyenas, migratory herds of springbok and wildebeest and over 200 species of birds (including vultures and eagles).
  • Kubu Island
Kubu Island is easily one of the most beautiful places to visit in Botswana and was once described by Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson as the most astonishing place he’d ever been! It’s actually a dry granite rock island engulfed by a white sea of salt in the Makgadikgadi Pan.
  • Moremi Wildlife Reserve
Arguably the most beautiful wildlife sanctuary in Africa, this game reserve lies in the heart of Botswana’s Okavango Delta. Mopane tree canopies dominate the dry landscapes and the rest of the area is a combination of floodplain grasses, riverine woodland and permanent delta.
  • Chobe River
This is an integral part of the Botswana safari experience (which can be combined easily with the Okavango Delta and Kalahari). The Chobe River runs along the northern border of Chobe National Park and a river safari – or cruise – is one of your best options to explore the area.
  • Khama Rhino Sanctuary
Established in 1992, this is a community based wildlife project which was set up to help protect and restore the vanishing rhinoceros. It’s a peaceful spot where sustainable tourism is encouraged – there are even onsite chalet and camping facilities where you can stay overnight. Covering around 8585 hectares, the haven provides protection for both black and white rhino as well as over 30 other animal species and around 230 species of birds.
