Botswana/Namibia

Yes, it's possible, but not ideal.

To see the main highlights of Namibia would take about 12 days (if driving). Similar with Botswana.

So you end up seeing less than half the main attractions of each, and wondering about what you missed. I'd stick to one country, unless you do a bit of flying and someone else does the driving.

August is good. I assume you are going for safari/game viewing? Have you done this before? I ask because it might influence which country to choose if you only choose one.

Thanks:) To be honest I thought that...The only thing in Botswana I would like to do is visit the Okavanga Delta and stay/camp there a few nights. Is it worth flying form Winkhoek to Maun?
Yes, we want to see game and go on Safari, but are just as happy relaxing and taking in the sights and sounds of different places. We both have been to Africa, Zambia and SA..but not on a Safari.
Is self drive in Namibia the best way to go?

My first trip was about 8 nights in Namibia, then flew to Maun, and 5 nights in the Delta.

So it is possible, as I said. And it was a stunning trip. I've been back several times, as I felt we were only scratching the surface.

If you only want to see the Delta, then it has a very efficient transport system - dozens of small planes operating out of Maun.

Within about 10 minutes of landing from Windhoek, we had taken off to our camp in the delta. And few camps are more than 30 minutes from Maun by air. (The flight may take longer if it stops at several camps en route.)

The "trouble" with going to Botswana, and the Delta in particular as a first safari, is you are spoiled for going anywhere else! There are very few places to compare, so in some respect, I sometimes advice people to go somewhere else first, eg Kruger. But this is a very minor quibble. You will see loads of game there.

And yes, self-drive in Namibia is a joy. Endless, empty wide roads pointing to enormous skies.

But with limited time, the danger is you try to cram too much in and spend all the time behind the wheel.

So, 2 weeks is about 6 days in both countries. Enough to see Etosha and Damaraland in Namibia, say, and 2 camps in the Delta.

It's advised to spend 2-3 nights in camps/lodges so that you see the various times of day and animal comings and going. 2 nights is really only 1 full day, so you are just settling in when you have to leave.

I have seen people book remote camps in Namibia for one night. The camp is an hours drive up a rough road from the main road. They turn up at 6pm and leave at 9 the next day. See nothing except that rough road!

If you are going to the Delta, try to see 2 camps with different environments. Some are more land-based, while others are water-based, and some are a mix. A mokoro trip is a must!

Hope this helps.

Thank you, that has been really helpful. :)
