Botswana government in a response to a query from Botswana Guides Association announced that government is about to lift a moratorium on C-licenses for mobile safaris at Ng 19 and NG 41 in 2019. A response from the Ministry of Environment addressed to BOGA has explained that a survey study was conducted in the two areas in November 2018. Government placed a moratorium on mobile tourism licenses to new applicants operating in the Okavango Delta. This policy aimed to reduce congestion in prime tourism locations and encourage greater usage of Botswana’s other tourism resources.
However, Khwai residents have long criticized the moratorium as an inconvenience to the mobile startups in their area.

    Please Sir allow the new C licence to operate in all areas not in selective areas like is currently be, I guess 95% or more of the clients want to visit Okavango, Moremi and Chobe. But this is the areas where currently the local mobile operators are not allowed to enter with their clients, so is high time this need to be resolved. Thank you.
