Welcome to Drive Botswana
Tailor Made Self-Drive Safaris In Botswana and beyond…
Welcome to Drive Botswana. There are few holiday experiences that are more fulfilling than a successful safari, and good organization and preparation are the keys to making a safari a success. The beauty of self-drive is that you can experience things for yourself, in your own time, focusing on what you want.
We pride ourselves on our itineraries, and have prepared more than 1,500 individual tailor-made trips around southern Africa. Our trips are entirely tailor-made. You tell us what you want to see, where you want to go, and for how long and we will put together a personal itinerary for you, depending on your level of experience.

The scenery in Namibia is truly spectacular!
