Tracks4Africa Botswana Self-Drive Guide Book (Edition 2)

These guides are based on the collective experiences of a diverse community of travelers, not just a single person’s perspective. The T4A community travels extensively, not by luxury bus or safari vehicle, but on their own wheels, whether by motorbike, sedan, or 4WD. This guide is tailored specifically for self-drive travelers. Botswana is covered at a scale of 1:1,000,000 over 27 pages in the atlas section, complete with a convenient atlas keyplan for easy map access.
