Botswana Stock Exchange-listed tourism giant Chobe Holdings Limited has warned shareholders to expect a sharp rise in profitability for the financial year ended February 2026, signalling continued strong recovery in the country’s high-end tourism sector.

In a cautionary announcement published on the Botswana Stock Exchange this week, the safari and hospitality group said its profit before tax is expected to increase by between 17% and 27% compared to the previous financial year.

The projected jump translates to an additional P33 million to P52 million above the P194.3 million profit before tax reported in the comparative period ended February 2025.
