Most towns in Namibia and Botswana have well-stocked supermarkets where you can buy food, snacks and drinks. In smaller or more remote towns, supplies may be limited, so it’s advisable to plan ahead. Larger centres offer a wider range of grocery stores, clothing shops, banks and curio shops, providing more choice and convenience.
Throughout both countries you’ll also find local craft markets, and many lodges have small curio shops. If you’re travelling on a camping or self-catering safari, it’s important to plan where and when to stock up on groceries and supplies according to your route. Certain areas have restrictions on transporting food and fresh produce across veterinary cordon fences, which should be taken into account when planning.
We’ll be happy to assist with this during your meet-and-greet on arrival, or you can speak to your consultant at any stage if you have questions.
