A Botswana self drive safari that supports local makers.
One basket carries more than one story.
Travel for Impact works with local communities across southern Africa. At several craft centres in Botswana, women make baskets that are shipped to countries around the world. Each sale provides a source of income.
Money spent while travelling through Botswana does not automatically reach the people who need it most. That is why we share the work of Crafthood and Travel for Impact. It gives your journey a local connection, without making grand claims about a practical, human initiative.
The road takes you past their doors.
During a Botswana self drive safari, you can stop at a craft centre yourself. Choose a basket, see the makers’ work up close and contribute directly. You can also support the project with a donation.
Craft centres along the route
- Shorobe: on the road from Maun to Moremi
- Shakawe: on the road from Bagani to Maun
- Ngamiland, Etsha: on the road from Bagani to Maun
- Ngwao Boswan, Gumare: on the road from Bagani to Maun
From Botswana to your home.
Book a Botswana trip with us and you will receive a small basket made by women in Botswana. A tangible reminder of the road you travelled and the people who live there.

A journey that reaches further.
A Botswana self-drive safari is about freedom on the road. Sometimes its meaning is found in a short stop along the way. We can help shape a Botswana holiday that leaves room for encounters like these. Get in touch.
