Reservations needed in top tourist spots in Namibia and Botswana in July/August?
Hi guys
Between mid July and mid August, my wife, son and I will borrow a 4x4 in Cape Town and head north through Namibia and then east through Botswana. All the guide books say it will be busy because of South African school holidays (also Namibia/ Botswana holidays?)
Do I need to book park entry and campsites now, or is it possible to just pitch up on the day, (I’d prefer the later…) in places like Sossusvlei, Fish River Canyon, Etosha and Chobe?
I will obviously have to book a trip into the Okavango Delta: Is it best to reserve this in advance or just turn up in Maun the day before? Do you recommend any particular outfit?
I was last in south western Africa in early 2000 and no bookings were necessary, but it was cyclone season, so everything was quiet (and wet/windy…). What about prime time July/August?
Many thanks for any advice you can give?
Cheers
Chris
