Driving in and through Botswana is currently possible ON REQUEST ONLY.

It is very important to us that you and your fellow travellers have the best possible driving experience and can enjoy your trip. Unfortunately, many roads in Botswana and particularly the popular routes in the Chobe and Moremi Park and surrounding areas, are currently in particularly bad condition. This makes driving there extremely strenuous and time-consuming, and the cars are put under extreme strain. A standard equipped doublecab is not designed for these demanding 4×4 routes. Knowing that there are currently almost always vehicle damages or repair cases due to the poor road conditions, coupled with the poor mobile network coverage, we cannot let you venture into these areas without further ado. We would like to spare you the hassle of the currently very probable vehicle damage and the associated time and financial expenditure.

For all those who would still like to experience Botswana at the moment, we recommend fly-in safaris or travelling with a tour guide. Instead of renting a heavy-duty 4×4 vehicle that can endure these particular routes and incurring the associated high rental and insurance costs as well as the driving stress and extra time, we recommend experiencing Botswana from the air via small aircraft. Alternatively, for those who want to stay on the ground and don’t mind the bumping and banging on the tracks, we recommend going with an experienced driver or tour guide.

You are only allowed to drive into Zambia until just over the border / up to the Victoria Falls. Further driving to/through Zambia is prohibited. Due to the special police requirements and the extremely high costs for spare parts and repairs, accidents or repairs in Zambia are simply unsustainable under current circumstances.

You are only allowed to drive into Zimbabwe until just over the border / up to the Victoria Falls or Hwange park. Further driving to/through Zimbabwe is prohibited. Due to the special police requirements and the extremely high costs for spare parts and repairs, accidents or repairs in Zimbabwe are simply unsustainable under current circumstances.

Namibia is a wonderful destination for your family holiday! The ever-changing landscape and diverse wildlife is a real joy for young and old alike and will bring out a sense of discovery and adventure even in the biggest couch potato.
