Ship Car To Molepolole

Car Shipping Molepolole

Molepolole is the current active capital of Bakwena and it got its name from the local river. The city is located about 50 km from the capital of the country of Botswana. There are quite a few things that you would need to take into consideration if you want to ship your vehicle to Botswana from USA. However, one of the most important things to account for is the fact that the roads are incredibly rough, most of them being rugged terrain. Only a quarter of the roads are paved and that’s why it’s highly advisable to have a 4x4 vehicle all the time.

You should know about the nearest port from your home, so that shipping can become easy. However, the transporting company should help you with this. If the ports are very far away from your home, it’s advisable that you make arrangements with the shipping agent or with a third-party transport company to drive your car to the port, if you won’t be able to do it yourself.
