Britz camper hire in Botswana: 4x4s with roof tents

Q: Where can I collect a Britz 4x4 in Botswana?

Britz has depots in three cities. In Maun, it is on the Matshwane industrial site, ideal for reaching the Okavango Delta and Moremi. In Kasane, it is located in Kazungula, very close to Chobe. In Gaborone, the precise address is provided with your booking. Handover times are shown in your confirmation.

Q: What excess and security deposit apply with Britz in Botswana?

Our observations show an excess of €3,063 for seven vehicles out of eight. The Jimny shows €273, a discrepancy to be confirmed in the details of the offer. A security deposit is generally blocked on the main driver’s credit card on departure, then released after the return. Reduction options are specified when booking.

The rental company

Britz in Botswana, 4x4s for the Okavango and the Kalahari

In Botswana, Britz rents 4x4s prepared for bush camping from three cities: Maun, the usual starting point for the Okavango Delta, Kasane, at the gateway to Chobe National Park, and Gaborone, the capital, in the south of the country. The brand is also present in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the United States.

The offers observed by CoolDrive in October 2026 mainly concern Toyota Hilux vehicles fitted with a roof tent, in Budget, Comfort, Navi and Premium versions, for 2 or 4 people. Added to these are a Suzuki Jimny with a soft tent and a seven-seat Toyota Fortuner, without berths. All these vehicles have an automatic gearbox.

None of the observed offers limits the mileage. The observed excess reaches €3,063 for seven vehicles out of eight; that of the Jimny, shown at €273, differs so much from the others that it needs to be confirmed in the offer.

Our verdict: a reliable choice for a self-drive safari between the delta, the Makgadikgadi Pans and Chobe, with depots located where the great parks begin. On the downside: a high excess on almost the entire range and vehicles in high demand during the dry season, which are best booked well in advance.

Our view

Britz: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?

Britz is ideal if…

You want to sleep under canvas near Moremi, Chobe or the Kalahari
You plan to link Maun, Nata and Kasane without keeping an eye on the odometer
An automatic gearbox reassures you when tackling sand
You are travelling as a couple and a small, nimble Jimny is enough for you
Your nights are booked in lodges and all you need is a seven-seat Fortuner

Britz is not ideal if…

You insist on a shower and toilet on board
Your group has more than four people needing beds
The deep sand of the park tracks worries you and you don’t want to face it
Your credit card cannot cover an excess of more than €3,000
You want to leave at the last minute in the middle of the dry season

Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Britz

Book the park campsites first

In Moremi, Chobe or the Central Kalahari, campsite pitches are few and must be booked in advance, often through different operators. Fix these nights first, then set your Britz hire dates around them: doing it the other way round often leads to wasted days.
Get to grips with sand

The tracks of the delta and the Kalahari combine soft sand and deep ruts. When you leave the depot, ask to be shown how to engage four-wheel drive, low range and the recommended tyre pressure. On sand, keep a steady pace and avoid stopping in the middle of a difficult stretch.
Fill up at every opportunity

Petrol stations are few and far between on the main roads and non-existent in the reserves. Fill the tank whenever possible, carry plenty of water and a few days’ supplies. Note also that veterinary checkpoints line some roads and may inspect any meat or dairy products being carried.
Aim for the dry season for wildlife

From May to October, animals gather near waterholes and the tracks are generally easier to drive. The rains fall mainly from December to March: some areas become muddy, but the landscapes turn green again and the parks are quieter. Choose according to what you want to see.
Inspect the 4x4 before leaving the depot

Open the tent, test the fridge, locate the spare wheel and jack, and check the inventory of camping gear. Photograph the bodywork and the windscreen. Save the rental company’s assistance number: in much of the parks, there is no phone signal.
Declare any plans outside Botswana

From Kasane, Victoria Falls and the Caprivi Strip are not far away. Leaving the country with a Britz vehicle requires the rental company’s approval and documents for the 4x4, which are usually charged. Mention it when booking and check the list of accepted countries in the offer.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Britz

Where can I collect a Britz 4x4 in Botswana?

Britz has depots in three cities. In Maun, it is on the Matshwane industrial site, ideal for reaching the Okavango Delta and Moremi. In Kasane, it is located in Kazungula, very close to Chobe. In Gaborone, the precise address is provided with your booking. Handover times are shown in your confirmation.

Is mileage unlimited with Britz in Botswana?

Yes: in every Britz offer observed by CoolDrive in Botswana, mileage is unlimited, from the Jimny to the Hilux Premium. This is a real comfort in a country with long stages: the tarmac road linking Maun to Kasane via Nata alone is over 500 kilometres, not counting the return trips on the reserve tracks.

Which Britz 4x4 should I choose for the delta and the Kalahari?

A couple who frequently move camp will appreciate the Hilux Premium, whose hard-shell tent is quick to put up. The Budget and Comfort versions with soft tents come with 2 or 4 berths, the latter with five seats. The compact, lightweight Jimny is aimed at two travellers with little luggage. The Fortuner is suitable if you are staying in lodges.

Can I pick up a Britz 4x4 in Maun and return it in Kasane?

A trip between two Britz depots in Botswana, for example from Maun to Kasane via Moremi and Savuti, is an appealing route idea. Its feasibility and cost depend on the offer. Enter Kasane as the arrival city in your CoolDrive search: only offers that accept it will appear, with the one-way hire already priced in.

How much does Britz hire cost in Botswana?

For 15-day trips, prices observed in October 2026 put an equipped Britz 4x4 from €73 per day in January, with a median of around €96. In July as in October, the median rises to around €170 for an equipped 4x4 and €145 for the Fortuner, mandatory fees included. For your exact dates, run a search.

First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations. No complaints. Great!

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Britz 4x4 camper hire in Botswana

Why book Britz with CoolDrive?

On CoolDrive, Britz appears alongside Bushlore Africa, Asco and Avis Safari Rental in the same results, with a price that already includes mandatory fees, as well as the excess and mileage terms. Our experts know the Maun and Kasane depots and help you build a realistic itinerary between parks and borders.

What excess and security deposit apply with Britz in Botswana?

Our observations show an excess of €3,063 for seven vehicles out of eight. The Jimny shows €273, a discrepancy to be confirmed in the details of the offer. A security deposit is generally blocked on the main driver’s credit card on departure, then released after the return. Reduction options are specified when booking.

What equipment comes with an equipped Britz Hilux?

As well as the roof tent, an equipped Hilux is designed for living outdoors for several days: it generally includes a fridge, cooking equipment, crockery and camping furniture. The list varies from one version to another and the offer details it. At the depot, check off each item with the agent before signing.

Can I go to Zambia, Zimbabwe or Namibia with a Britz vehicle?

Kasane lies at the crossroads of four countries, and many travellers want to continue to Victoria Falls or Namibia. This is often possible, with the rental company’s approval and border documents, which are usually charged. Permitted countries and fees are specified in the terms of the offer: mention your plans when booking.

Do I need previous 4x4 experience to hire from Britz in Botswana?

It is not required, but it helps. The main roads are tarmacked, whereas the reserves involve deep sand and, in the rainy season, mud. All the vehicles observed are automatic, which makes driving easier. You drive on the left and it is best not to drive at night, because of wild animals and livestock.

When should I go to Botswana with a Britz 4x4?

The dry season, from May to October, remains the most popular for wildlife viewing, with cool nights in the tent in June and July. It is also the period of highest demand: book your 4x4 early. From December to March, the rainy season makes some tracks tricky, but observed prices are gentler.
