Logistics Overview
Botswana is a stable, landlocked economy whose international freight moves overland through South Africa (Durban), Namibia (Walvis Bay), and Mozambique, with Gaborone as the commercial hub.
Infrastructure Advantage
Diamonds dominate exports by value and move mainly by air. General cargo depends on road and rail corridors to Durban and Walvis Bay; the Trans-Kalahari Corridor gives a reliable western routing. Border-post efficiency and trucking capacity are the main variables in door-to-door lead times.
