Self-drive holidays in Namibia & Botswana

Private driver

If off-road driving is not your thing, then we can arrange a private driver to accompany you throughout your Namibia and Botswana adventures. Take the stress out of your trip and enjoy travelling across these incredible landscapes hassle-free. Our drivers know these roads well and have tonnes of experience navigating the sometimes challenging terrain, as well as top tips for local experiences and hidden gems you may otherwise have driven past without knowing.

Domestic flights

While self-driving is an adventure in itself, some routes – like reaching the Okavango Delta in Botswana or crossing Namibia’s vast desert landscapes – can involve long distances. In such cases, or if you are limited by the number of days, you might want to opt for a domestic flight. Flights connect Windhoek, Swakopmund, and Sossusvlei, in Namibia. In Botswana, small charter flights connect Maun, Kasane, and lodges in the Okavango Delta and Moremi.
