Self Drive 4x4

Botswana is the perfect self-drive country! With your 4×4 you can experience a real African adventure here by traveling straight across the game reserves.

Driving off-road with your 4×4 via tracks through the bush. Camping in the middle of the wilderness in between Africa’s wild animals. It’s all possible with a self-drive through Botswana! In some places, you will have to wade through water or course through deep sand. Botswana is a country where a 4×4 feels at home. Self-drive road trips to Botswana mostly start in Johannesburg (South Africa), Windhoek (Namibia), or in Botswana itself.  Fly to Maun Airport and collect your fully equipped 4 x 4 vehicle on arrival.  Maun is located near the Okavango Delta, Moremi Game Reserve, and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. It is also popular to start and end in Kasane, not far from Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) and Livingstone (Zambia).
