'Ello lads, ladies and gender neutral peoples...

I'm planning a trip to Botswana for mid June.
I have the following rough route planned.

(Distances are Basecamp measured so are only estimated).
Home to Rhino Sanctuary - 510Km. (Cross border at Stockpoort/Parr's Halt - closes at 4pm it seems).
Rhino Sanctuary to Khubu Island - 242Km.
Khubu Island to Planet Baobab - 112Km
Planet Baobab to Rhino Sanctuary - 333Km
Rhino Sanctuary to Home - 510Km (Cross border at Stockpoort/Parr's Halt - closes at 4pm it seems).
Total - 1702Km

I plan to camp/pitch tent each night.
I have roughly 500Km (conservative) kilo range on full tanks.
I will possibly be solo on this trip (unconfirmed as yet).
Not too afraid of technical routes or sand.

My questions are as follows:

1.) Fuel in Botswana (where along that route?)
2.) Is there camping at Planet Baobab? Website does not show it. Tracks4Africa does.
3.) If I decide to push past Planet Baobab and start the loop back - where can I stay on the loop back? Can I camp wild just off the route? Safe?
4.) Suggestions in terms of route/accommodation or any advice?

Thanks in advance.
