Study Abroad Botswana 2015

Hi everyone! 

We are currently in Maun, Botswana getting everything set up for the program to begin this coming Wednesday, the 27th of May. We have two student phones, which the students will be able to use freely once they get here. You can also call Professor Thoralf or TA Dan if you cannot get through (in case of emergencies ONLY).

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

Student Phone 1: 76 98 53 89
Student Phone 2: 76 98 53 79
Thoralf: 72 67 08 36
Dan: 76 50 96 29

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 have also been experiencing power black outs from time to time which also means you might 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, which Texas is currently 7 hours behind). 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 y'all soon!!
