Hi yes if been to Botswana 2 Weeks ago. If you cant enter the parks with your bike just jump on one of the game drives or boat trips which are offered in Kasane for 200 local bugs ca 20 US$. There are also mony more places out of official parks were you can get with a bike or normal car and see wild animales like Elefant Sands see here: In a rental car through South Africa, Botswana and Namibia

True but not for Etosha in Namibia and not for Krüger Park in Southafrica. For Chobe in Botswana just jump on a guidet game drive for 20 US$ insted of renting an expensive 4x4. Because they have Radios, they know were the lions are. Of course 4x4s are nice but heavy on diesel for long trips http://schoene-motorradtouren.de/?report=en_lkw_tour

Anyway hiring a car will be the cheapest option. It was something like 250 Euro per month + insurance if you want it. Thats cheaper then a bike, not talking about two bikes. Just bring your own tent. For a 4x4 thats what they charge you per day  Another trip we visited Southafrica, Botswana and Namibia with the smallest, cheapest car available Hyundai i10 see here: http://adventure-travel-experience.d...=en_suedafrika
Enjoy your trip

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
