Botswana

Botswana car rental

Canadian travelers have only just started to head to Botswana for a holiday, as tourism is still very much on the rise. There are no direct flights, but a stop in the US or Europe and then in South Africa is one way to go, which helps break up the travel time. The roads are usually smooth, which allows Canadians to explore the beautiful country at their own pace via car rental. To find the best prices, compare car hire online; this not only secures a cheaper deal but it can help you select the car of your choice too.

Canadian travelers don’t require a visa before arrival and are welcomed with open arms. The public transport system is a little unreliable so a rental car is a good idea.

Tourists’ favorites

The Okavango Delta, which runs through the Kalahari Desert, makes the whole country of Botswana a stunning, lush, forest-filled wonderland. There are fascinating masses of land there are preserved and are national parks; these hold a myriad of wonderful, exotic animals. The Central Kalahari Game Reserve has an array of tours to see the animals as well as camps to stay in.

The Moremi National Park and the Chobe National Park are both beautiful and are well worth a visit. Expect to have to set your air conditioning in your car rental to maximum if staying in the hot season over November to February.

Best time to visit

Being in the southern hemisphere, December and January is the hottest time and the summers the coolest, although even the summers require gallons of sun cream and lots of water to stay hydrated. Canadian travelers tend to stay in the south of the country, where the large cities and most of the hotels are, and venture off on day-trips to the parks.
