Entry details
On a Botswana passport, you need an electronic travel authorization (eTA), not a visa for Kenya. The Botswana passport currently ranks #115 of 199 worldwide, with 77 destinations reachable visa-free or via visa on arrival / eTA.
Kenya is among the easier countries to enter, admitting 198 of the world's 198 other passports without a prior visa; its own passport ranks #127 with 70 open destinations. As fellow Africa countries, their rules are frequently tied to regional arrangements. The reverse direction is smoother: Kenya passport holders get visa-free for Botswana.
In the opposite direction, Kenya citizens travelling to Botswana face: visa-free for up to 90 days.
