Body & Ashes Repatriation Botswana

Botswana is a landlocked country located in Southern Africa, with a population estimated to be around 2.4 million people. It is known for its vast wildlife reserves, including the Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park. The official language spoken in Botswana is English.

The presence of British or Irish people in Botswana is relatively significant due to its wildlife tourism industry, conservation efforts, and economic opportunities. Many British or Irish tourists visit Botswana for its safari experiences, game reserves, and cultural encounters. They contribute to the local economy, engage in various recreational activities, and support wildlife conservation in Botswana.

In the event of the most unfortunate circumstances, should an individual from England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, or any non-native origin pass away in Botswana, Rosy International's Botswana team is ready to assist in repatriating their remains (including ashes) back to the UK or Ireland. We can arrange collection from Gaborone, Francistown, Molepolole, Serowe, Maun or any other specified location in Botswana.
