How do I get around Botswana?
In Botswana, travel is mainly by 4x4 with driver-guide for safaris. Domestic flights serve Maun, Kasane, and Okavango camps. Public transport exists but isn't suitable for tourist circuits.
Preferred modes of transport
- 4x4 with driver-guide: main solution for safaris and discovering national parks
- Domestic flights: connections to Maun, Kasane and remote camps in the Okavango Delta
- Organized tours and mobile safaris: all-inclusive packages to explore reserves
Public transport: limited for tourism
Buses and minibuses connect the country's main cities, but these forms of transport do not provide access to safari zones or isolated camps. They remain unsuitable for standard tourist itineraries.
Local agency advice
Given the considerable distances between sites and the condition of tracks in the parks, opt for a 4x4 vehicle with an experienced driver. This guarantees safety and wildlife expertise throughout your stay.
