Bushlore Africa Cars in Botswana: the 4x4 for those who sleep under a roof
In Botswana, Bushlore Africa Cars can be collected in the same cities as Bushlore Africa, its sister brand of 4x4s equipped for camping: Maun, Kasane and Gaborone. In South Africa, its offer comes down to a five-seat Toyota Hilux 4x4 with no sleeping space listed. In Botswana, CoolDrive has not yet recorded any vehicle or price: what the search shows for your dates is what counts.
In Maun, the vehicle waits at the depot in the Thito ward; in Kasane, in the Kazungula industrial area, plot 69. For Gaborone, the handover location is given to you at booking. This network lends itself well to a circuit staying in lodges: Maun has many lodges from which scenic flights over the delta and mokoro trips depart, while those in Kasane line the banks of the Chobe River.
In short, our view: a sensible choice for discovering the north of the country without camping equipment, provided you accept finding out prices and conditions when you search. To sleep in the heart of Moremi or Savuti, where accommodation is often camping only, a 4x4 camper like those from Bushlore Africa or Asco is a must.

Our tips for booking with Bushlore Africa Cars
-
The Chobe riverfront in a day
From Kasane, the track that follows the river inside Chobe National Park can be driven by 4x4 in a day, entering through the Sedudu gate and returning before closing time. End with a late-afternoon cruise, when the herds of elephants come down to drink.
-
Stop before dusk
Between Nata and Kasane, as between Nata and Maun, the road crosses unfenced areas where elephants, donkeys and cows walk on the tarmac. Once night falls, they become almost invisible: plan stages that get you to your lodge in broad daylight.
-
Fill the tank in every town
Filling stations are few and far between on the long straight roads of the north. Make the most of Francistown, Nata, Maun or Kasane to fill up, and keep a few litres of water in the vehicle.

great experience! The CoolDrive agents are very helpful with all the procedures
Good customer service, great price on the vehicle, efficient process, would use again without hesitation.
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!
FAQ — Bushlore Africa Cars 4x4 hire in Botswana
Can you go to see Victoria Falls with this vehicle?
The falls are in Zimbabwe and Zambia, a little over an hour's drive from Kasane, not counting the border crossing. Entering with the 4x4 requires the rental company's agreement and cross-border documents. Otherwise, an organised day trip from Kasane saves you these formalities, with the vehicle left parked at the lodge.
What is CoolDrive's role in this hire?
The search sets the Bushlore Africa Cars offer against those of the other rental companies in Botswana for the same city, with conditions readable before payment. After booking, our experts liaise with the rental company to arrange the handover, which is especially useful in Gaborone.
When should you go to Botswana by 4x4 without camping?
The dry season, from May to October, makes the tracks easier and concentrates the wildlife near waterholes. The downside: the lodges in the delta and at Chobe fill up very early at that time. From November to March, the greenery returns and accommodation prices often fall, but some tracks become slippery.
