15 Day Namibia Explorer: Luxury Guided Safari

Begin your packing list with essential documents: your valid passport, necessary visas, and comprehensive travel insurance. For your Botswana tour specifically, consider bringing lightweight clothing suitable for fluctuating temperatures, comfortable walking/hiking shoes, flip-flops, insect repellent, sunscreen, a headlamp, and a sleeping bag if camping. Other useful items include a reusable water bottle, personal medications, a quick-dry towel, and a retractable washing line. Given the soft-sided luggage requirement and the emphasis on packing light for overland vehicles, it's wise to consult your travel specialist for tour-specific recommendations, ensuring you bring only essential items.

All tours will include; tents (camping tours), chairs, table, cutlery, pots, pans etc. Sleeping bags are included on select camping tours, while a sleeping bag rental option is available on others. Most travellers will bring their own sleeping bag + travel pillow + towel. Bedding is included on the accommodated tours. Sleeping mats are included on most overland tours, with the exception of a few budget overland camping tours. We will advise on this when suggesting a tour(s) for your overland adventure. The camping tour makes use of large 2-man dome canvas tents, with built in mosquito nets. They are super quick and easy to put up and take down. The accommodated tours combine the adventure of camping and comfort of bedded accommodation, making use of twin and single rooms in hotels, hostels, lodge-style bungalows, chalets and permanent tented safari camps.

Yes! Wild camping is possible, and there are scenic campsites near Semonkong, Katse, and Sani Pass.

Expect limited electricity and intermittent mobile data in rural national parks. Bring power banks, solar chargers, and extra SIMs/eSIMs. Campsites occasionally offer basic electricity, but overlanders rely on self-sufficient charging setups.

Time spent driving depends on the tour and route you’ve chosen. On average each tour has both short drives (a few hours) and long drives (all day) which will include lunch stops, restroom stops and scenic stops to stretch your legs and enjoy the surroundings.
