4×4 Campervan Hire in Botswana
If safari driving is your dream, then Botswana is the place to go. Considered to be safer than other safari destinations such as Kenya, Botswana is easy to navigate by self-driving. There are many magnificent nature reserves and safari parks to discover, with most of them featuring campervan parks.
Because Botswana is small, there is no need to drive a long distance to see fantastic animals. Straight from your safari camper, you will be able to see elephants, gazelles and zebra in their natural habitat. Road conditions are generally good, except during the rainy season, when roads can get washed out.
