Time in Botswana is given by a single time zone, officially denoted as Central Africa Time (CAT; UTC+02:00). Botswana has never observed daylight saving time. Botswana, as the Bechuanaland Protectorate, has observed CAT since 1903. In 1885 it used the South African Standard Time (SAST; UTC+01:30) as British Bechuanaland. Before adopting SAST and CAT, it observed local mean time (LMT; UTC+01:43).
Daylight saving time in Botswana was adopted in 1943 and consequently disposed of in 1944.
In the IANA time zone database, Botswana is given one zone in the file zone.tab – Africa/Gaborone. "BW" refers to the country's ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code. Data for Botswana directly from zone.tab of the IANA time zone database; columns marked with * are the columns from zone.tab itself:
