Cape Verde is best treated as designated-site and local-authority dependent for tent overnights.
- No blanket right to informal wild camping.
- Coastal and settlement-adjacent areas are often tightly managed.
- Municipal and landowner permission checks are important.
Quick status
| Destination | Trekkers' tent-overnight category | Practical rule of thumb |
|---|---|---|
| Cape Verde | Red/Amber-like: mostly designated or permission-based by island/municipality | Use legal accommodation/camps first and verify local coastal and land-use restrictions |
Planning guidance
- Rules can vary by island and municipality.
- Popular hiking islands may have stricter overnight behavior expectations.
- Fire/waste and water-scarcity considerations can trigger tighter controls.
Planning takeaway: In Cape Verde, default to designated/legal overnight options and treat informal camping as exception-only.

Botswana wild camping rules
Botswana wild camping is generally permit- and land-manager dependent. National parks, wildlife management areas, and private concessions are dominant, so independent tent overnights are rarely a blanket right. Some remote routes are feasible through guided/mobile-safari frameworks with explicit permissions.
