Michael, in Namibia with that kind of range I do not think you will have a problem - we found petrol readily available. Peter and Russ could also add their opinion as they travelled more widely than me in Nam.
In Bots, there should also be no problems too - our longest stretch between fuel was from Maun to Kasane via Savuti and Linyanti - distance about 410 kms dirt road and some thick sand. The amount of fuel you need will be dependent on how much driving (game viewing) you will be doing in between Maun and Kasane. There probably is petrol at the border post at Ngoma bridge, but we did not go into the village to check, which will reduce that 410 kms by approx. 50. I also saw that they were busy constructing a new modern fuel stop in Kachikau, thus further reducing this distance.
