Looking into visiting Namibia after the new year, as an extention of an independent South Africa trip. We'd hope to include crossing into northern Botswana. I've Just seen a great trip report by Richard Rae who covered many sites in December 2004, all with a hired 2WD vehicle.
Anyone know if this is still likely to be possible, and if so more difficult in Jan through Feb weatherwise?
Any links to more recent reports involving 2WD, or any other advice greatly appreciated, eg would it be actually easier to access northern Botswana from SA somehow?
cheers,
Larry
PS. cost the biggest issue, ie. camping and no guides whenever possible.
PPS. Richard's report mentions the need for an international driving license to hire a car. Is this still the case?
