Botswana - Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution
Exercise increased caution in Botswana due to crime.

Teaching English in Gaborone, the vibrant capital of Botswana, offers a unique opportunity to experience a rapidly growing African metropolis known for its safety, economic stability, and welcoming culture. The demand for English education is driven by the country's business, tourism, and academic sectors, where fluency in English—an official language of Botswana—is highly valued. Educators typically find positions in private international schools, language academies, or through volunteer programs, working with motivated students in a modernizing urban environment. Beyond the classroom, teachers can explore Gaborone's bustling markets, nearby nature reserves, and cultural landmarks, making it an incredibly rewarding destination for expatriate instructors. For those interested in pursuing this path, you can find more details on how to get started through the American TESOL Teach in Botswana program.
