Overview

The best of Botswana is usually between the towns, and this 9-night self-drive is built to find it. You get the car, a mapped scenic route through Maun · Okavango Delta · Chobe, and every night booked ahead — so Okavango Delta mokoro safari and Chobe river elephant cruises happen on your schedule, with the detours left deliberately open.

May – Oct is the sweet spot for Botswana (Africa), and we plan departures from Surat around it — flights via Mumbai or Ahmedabad, 3★ / 4★ en route hotels locked in writing, and this itinerary from ₹2,85,999 per person on twin sharing.

Explera's Surat desk runs the whole journey end to end — flights, stays, transfers, guided sightseeing, Botswana visa assistance and insurance — with a written day-by-day plan before you pay and a human on call 24/7 while you travel. Every departure is fully customisable to your dates, budget and travellers.
