Plan and Prepare for Adventure

Embarking on a self-drive camping trip requires careful planning and preparation. Botswana's National Parks feature predominantly sand or dirt tracks, making driving conditions challenging and slower-paced. As you navigate through remote areas, thick sand, or deep water, it's essential to carry extra drinking water, fuel, and spare wheels for a safe and comfortable journey.

Safety in the Wilderness

Campsites within the game reserves and national parks are unfenced, adding to the thrill of your adventure. However, this also means campers must take necessary precautions to ensure their safety and respect the natural environment. Vigilance and adherence to safety guidelines are paramount for an enjoyable and secure camping experience.
