A little preparation goes a long way when travelling through Botswana.
At Raintree Camp, we often welcome guests arriving with no itinerary, no route planning, and very little information about the areas they are exploring. While we are always happy to share advice and help where we can, planning a self-drive adventure properly before you arrive will make your journey far more enjoyable, safe, and stress-free.
We strongly encourage guests to do their own research ahead of time and, if needed, work with a trusted travel agent who understands Botswana and self-drive travel. From road conditions and park bookings to fuel stops and seasonal changes — preparation matters!
If you’re looking for assistance planning your Botswana self-drive adventure, we’re also happy to recommend trusted travel agents who can help you create a well-organised itinerary.
Be prepared. Travel smarter. Enjoy the adventure. 🌍🚙
