Bushlore Africa in Botswana: 4x4 campers, Maun and Kasane

Q: Where are Bushlore Africa's depots in Botswana?

In Maun, the depot is in the Thito district, on the road to the Thuso centre. In Kasane, it occupies Plot 69 in the Kazungula industrial area. For Gaborone, the address or meeting point is sent to you with the booking confirmation.

Q: What budget for a Bushlore Africa 4x4 for two in Botswana?

For a fifteen-day hire, our October 2026 figures put the Hilux Camp for two between €149 and €240 a day, with an average of around €203. The two-seat Hilux Bush Camper starts at €180, the Land Cruiser 79 Camp at €189. These amounts cover departures from January to October 2027: your dates set the actual price.

Q: What excess and what deposit in Botswana?

The excess recorded is about €1,626 for all models, in all three towns. The rental company usually holds a deposit at departure; its amount and the excess waiver options are described in the offer, which we can go through with you.

Bushlore Africa in Botswana: three gateways to the delta, Chobe and the Kalahari

In Botswana, Bushlore Africa hands over its Toyota 4x4 campers in three towns. Maun, where the depot is in the Thito district, gives access to the Okavango swamps and Moremi. Kasane, with a depot on Plot 69 in the Kazungula industrial area, borders Chobe National Park, a few kilometres from the Zambian, Zimbabwean and Namibian borders. In Gaborone, the capital, the handover location is set at the time of booking.

Our records of 20 October 2026, for fifteen-day hires with pick-ups tested from January to October 2027, give exactly the same price grid in Maun and Kasane: from €149 to €336 a day, with an average of around €245. Gaborone comes to about €9 more each day. The choice of model matters far more: the Hilux Camp for two starts at €149, the single-cab automatic Land Cruiser 79 Bush Camper at €242.

The 120 Botswana offers we recorded all include unlimited mileage, with an excess of about €1,626. All ten of the brand's Hilux and Land Cruiser 79 versions are available, with two to four berths.

Our view: Maun and Kasane cover the country's two main safari hubs, which lets you travel from one park to the other without backtracking when a one-way hire is accepted. Gaborone is handy for those arriving from South Africa by road, but the wild areas of the north are a long way off. Britz, Asco and Avis Safari Rental also rent 4x4s in the country: their offers can be compared in the same search.

Our view

Bushlore Africa: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?

Bushlore Africa is ideal if…

You are combining Moremi, Savuti and the Chobe riverfront between Maun and Kasane
You want to spend your nights at reserve campsites, as close as possible to the animals
You are keeping a day for Victoria Falls from Kasane
Your tour mixes tarmac and sand over hundreds of kilometres, with no odometer to watch

Bushlore Africa is not ideal if…

You are leaving from Gaborone for just a few days: the delta is more than 900 km away
There are five of you wanting to sleep on board: the berths stop at four

Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Bushlore Africa

Kasane–Maun crossing: be self-sufficient

The route via Savuti and Moremi takes several days on sandy tracks, with no filling stations at all between the two towns. Carry the diesel and water needed for the whole route, with a margin, and fill up in your departure town.
Budget separately for entry fees

In the parks and reserves, the campsite pitch and the entry fee are two separate payments, the latter calculated per person and per vehicle. Before setting off, find out which payment method is accepted at each gate and include this item in your budget.
Dress for winter nights

In June and July, the thermometer can drop below zero at night in the Kalahari and around the Makgadikgadi Pans, while the days remain mild. In a rooftop tent, a warm sleeping bag, a woolly hat and a layer of wool make all the difference.
From Gaborone, head for Khutse

The Khutse Game Reserve, south of the Central Kalahari, is the most accessible wilderness area from the capital. There is neither fuel nor supplies there: fill your tank, jerrycans and cool box in town before setting off.

Your questions about Bushlore Africa

Where are Bushlore Africa's depots in Botswana?

In Maun, the depot is in the Thito district, on the road to the Thuso centre. In Kasane, it occupies Plot 69 in the Kazungula industrial area. For Gaborone, the address or meeting point is sent to you with the booking confirmation.

What budget for a Bushlore Africa 4x4 for two in Botswana?

For a fifteen-day hire, our October 2026 figures put the Hilux Camp for two between €149 and €240 a day, with an average of around €203. The two-seat Hilux Bush Camper starts at €180, the Land Cruiser 79 Camp at €189. These amounts cover departures from January to October 2027: your dates set the actual price.

Is Gaborone a good starting point?

It suits you if you are arriving from Johannesburg by road or heading for the Central Kalahari from the south. The rate there exceeds Maun's by about €9 a day, or nearly €140 over 15 days. For a trip focused on the delta or Chobe, the time saved by starting in the north matters more.

Hilux or Land Cruiser 79 in the northern sand?

Both can handle the tracks of Moremi and Savuti. The Land Cruiser 79, heavier and more rugged, is reassuring in deep sand; in our records, it costs on average €30 to €50 more per day than the Hilux in the same version. The Hilux, always automatic here, remains more comfortable on long tarmac stretches.

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!
