Tips regarding fuel and service stations in Botswana
Fuel and service stations in Botswana
As of May 24th, 2021, the average cost of unleaded petrol/gasoline in Botswana was US$0.902/litre and US$0.898/litre for diesel. The prices are just an average and they can vary drastically depending on the time of year and the region you are in.
Botswana is a vast country and the population density in some of the most beautiful areas is very low. Although the infrastucture is good and there are many service stations equally spread out through the country, they will not be found at every turn. We strongly recommend that when you are travelling long distances you regularly fill up the tank when possible.
Some simple precaution before embarking on an adventure goes a long way!

Avoid driving at night and always spend the night in established campsites.
It is important to reserve your campsite in advance during peak seasons.
For 5 - 6 passengers we recommend booking long in advance.
