how to get to Botswana

FLIGHTS

Scheduled Flights:

Frequent flights link Johannesburg to Gaborone, Maun and Kasane - the gateways to the National Parks, and wilderness areas.

Shuttle/Charter Flight:

Shuttle/ Charter Flights are the only way of reaching the majority of camps in the Chobe, Moremi, the Central Kalahari and Delta area. Scheduled light aircraft flights depart from Maun and Kasane and handle all inter-camp transfers in this area.

Transfers

Self-Drive:

Although Gaborone, Maun, and Francistown are accessible by 2-wheel drive cars, travel into Moremi, Chobe and the Central Kalahari can only be undertaken by 4-wheel drive. Self-drive clients have access to most of the Moremi, Savute and Chobe lodges, but lodges in the Delta itself are only accessible by light aircraft. 

Guided Safaris :

A large variety of guided safaris are available. Please see our &Beyond Expeditions detailing a great diversity of guided camping, personalised and lodge-accommodated safaris. 

Trains and Coaches:

We do not recommend these modes of transport for travel within Botswana.

What to Remember when travelling around Botswana

Botswana is not really a self-drive destination unless you are prepared for serious 4x4 driving and check weather conditions carefully as these impact on the road conditions. Although Gaborone, Maun, and Francistown are accessible by 2-wheel drive cars, travel into Moremi, Chobe and the Central Kalahari can only be undertaken by 4-wheel drive.
