Bargaining Etiquette in Botswana

Bargaining is generally limited to informal markets, roadside stalls, and craft sellers, where a polite back-and-forth over the price is acceptable, but fixed-price shops, supermarkets, and most services expect you to pay the stated amount. Keep the tone friendly and unhurried, and if you do negotiate at a market, a modest discount is more realistic than aggressive haggling, which can come across as rude.
