Study Abroad Botswana 2014

We are currently in Maun, Botswana getting everything ready for the program to begin on the 28th of May. We have set up two student phones, which the students will be able to use freely once they get here. You can also call Professor Thoralf or teaching assistant Thomas if you cannot get through (in case of emergencies).

Calling from the US to Botswana: 011 + 267 + phone number

Student phone #1: 76 50 89 69
Student phone #2: 76 50 96 20
Thoralf: 72 67 08 36
Thomas: 76 47 30 80

Cell phone service in Botswana does not work as well as in the United States, so you may have to call a few times to get through. We also experience power black outs from time to time which also means you will not be able to get through.

We will have a satellite phone ready once the program starts, which will be turned on every night between 7-8 PM (Botswana time). This phone will work in case of power black outs and when we are on safari (where there is no phone service coverage). This phone is for absolute emergencies ONLY.

The satellite phone number: 00881631627587

Safe travels and see you soon!!
