Self drive safari style Travel Adventures Botswana

Another amazing review ❤

Thank you to Meagan Bromfield, who came on safari with her husband, Scotty, earlier this year.

"We had an incredible Botswana adventure and would like to thank the Travel Adventures team for all the effort that went into organising our trip. The vehicle was excellent, reliable, comfortable, and very well-equipped for overlanding.

Socks and the team were friendly and professional, and the thorough handover gave us the confidence for our first time overlanding. We encountered a variety of road conditions along the way, and the vehicle handled them all with ease.

We would happily recommend your team to anyone planning a self-drive adventure in Botswana."

It's so great to see the pictures Meagan sent through too - and the video of them driving! - we were very excited to spot Socks in the handover picture 👋👀😃

"We have come back home from the wonderful trip you organised for us, and we wanted to thank you for fully fulfilling our expectations. Actually, it all exceeded them. Botswana is an amazing place that surprised us so many times!

The car was perfectly prepared for all possible needs and emergencies. I think we used every tool and appliance that we had, most of them the very first day already…

We have mastered the hi-lift and changing tyres, thanks to the generator we never ran out of electricity, and inflating or deflating the tyres was nice and easy. We even put the sat phone to use — and got an answer straight away, despite the late hour. We were very happy with the roof tents and the beddings inside, warm and comfortable, even though it was pretty cold outside at night.

We wanted to pay you the biggest respects for how well the trip was organised and how much it suited our expectations. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to drive ourselves wild!"

Well, thank you, Jan & Marcin Danczowski, for the wonderful review. We are proud of our team, our vehicles and our whole operation and we love it when clients have an amazing trip that exceeds their expectations.

Jan also took some incredible photos and we can't wait to post more of them over the next few weeks.

We wanted to show some stills from Tom Peyrat's film that we posted about last week.

He took some incredibly atmospheric and emotive pictures and although the film was mainly about elephants - "Tuskers" - he also captured some other iconic images from Botswana and Zimbabwe.

We were so happy to help Tom with his route planning for this trip and are blown away by these beautiful images.

Please take a couple of minutes (2 minutes 15 seconds to be precise!) out of your day to watch this incredible video from Tom Peyrat.

We helped Tom with the route planning for this trip and we are thrilled to be able to share it with you. We are blown away by how amazing it is and hope you enjoy it too.

---TUSKERS--- Shot during a self-drive trip to Botswana in August 2025, traversing the country (and occasionally getting stuck in deep sand, submerged in water, or changing flat tires) with a rooftented 4x4. The landscape is absolutely incredible for wildlife, it felt like living inside a nature doc...

Botswana's night skies are truly incredible to see through a camera lens so we are reposting some of our favourite night sky pictures.

Known as 'astrophotography', you can see different views of the Milky Way, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds as well as millions of bright stars.

It takes skill and patience - and a late night - to take these photos so thank you to for taking the time out of your safaris to get these shots 🙏

Another decision to make when booking a trip is how self sufficient you want to be with camping and catering.

Some clients want to be totally independent and camp and cook their own food and some prefer to spend their nights in lodges and there are lots of clients who choose to mix the two. There is no right or wrong way 😀 the mix of accommodation types totally depends on a number of factors including client wishes, time of year and availability.

To cater for different wishes, we offer two different vehicle set ups for clients - standard equipped and fully equipped. All vehicles come as 'standard equipped' which includes a full set of recovery equipment including hi-lift jack, tow rope, spade and sand ladders plus fridge/freezer, water tank, spare tyres and satellite phone.

There is also a table and chairs, cutlery, crockery and metal tumblers and goblets (much more practical in the bush than glass!) and a thermos for hot drinks.

With a standard equipped vehicle you can store and prepare cold food only, which is ideal for breakfast and lunch but clients will need to stay at a lodge for hot food and water.

In addition to all the above, our fully equipped vehicles also include a braai/BBQ grill, cool box, hand basin and dishwashing basin, shade awning as well as a full range of cooking utensils including a kettle, pots and pans and other essentials such as oven gloves, chopping board, colander and a potato masher!! In fact, everything you need to create a delicious al fresco meal.

All this equipment is carefully packed in the vehicle in an absolute feat of spatial and packing optimisation ready to be used on your adventure 😃

It's a bird bonanza!

We were looking back through some guest pictures and thought that a few of Tessa Murray 's amazing bird pictures deserved to be seen.

These show some of the birds having a tasty snack 😂 or picking up various bits and pieces, the lovely colours of the Marico bee eater and in the case of the Jacana - their amazing long legs and feet - perfect for literally running on water 😲

1. White crested helmet shrike
2. White fronted bee eater
3. Common scimitarbill
4. Southern yellow bill hornbill
5. African Jacana
6. Marico bee eater

All these birds - and many, many more - can be seen in Botswana - contact our reservations team to find out more or to book:

So how do you go about planning and booking a trip with Travel Adventures Botswana? You may have seen an ad, a social media post or have done an online search and found us and now you want to get in touch.

The best way to get in touch to start with is via email (see below) or by using our online Booking Form.

https://traveladventuresbotswana.com/travel-adventures-booking-form/

This gives us an idea of some of the basic details about your trip – times of year you can travel, length of time you can travel for, the number and age of guests, rough budget, interests and any other requirements. But don’t worry if you don’t know any (or all) of this – or would rather speak on the phone or WhatsApp first – we can definitely do this and we are happy for you to contact us any way you would like 😃

How long does it take to plan a trip?
It depends! If you just want to book a vehicle from us, the process is very quick. It’s booking accommodation and campsites that takes more time. Please allow extra planning time for visiting countries other than Botswana eg Zimbabwe or Namibia or if you plan to visit during high season when there’s extra demand for accommodation.

How far in advance do you have to book?
The popular campsites eg Moremi book up a year in advance so if that’s somewhere you definitely want to go, then you need to bear that in mind and we are already taking bookings for 2027 😀 But don't worry, there are lots of other options that don’t need such a long lead time and we can advise about these.

What else do I need to know?
We can advise on flights, visas, vaccinations, insurance, what to bring with you and we have information on our website – on the ‘Other Useful Information’ page that provides more information.

It can seem like a lot to organise, but our reservations team has over 40 years’ experience in booking safaris in Botswana and neighbouring countries so they are able to guide, advise and help you so that you have the very best trip you can.

Please contact us if you are interested in an exciting adventure in Botswana and beyond – we’d love to hear from you!
