I've driven much of Namibia and love it every time I get in the vehicle and grab the wheel. It's a lot of fun for the right person and no trip is ever the same.

Home to the Self-Drive Safari

Pure desert savannah; this country has massive dunes, exotic wildlife, a famous coastline and more jaw-dropping views than you can imagine.

Namibia is known for being the perfect self-drive safari destination. In fact, most travellers tend to opt for this mode of transport here. The road infrastructure is very good, the people are super friendly and navigating yourself is really easy.

When to go

As Namibia is a desert country with little rainfall and thus it is less seasonal than your typical safari destination. There really is no bad time to travel but do discuss this with us in detail as there are small pro's and con's throughout the year.

Children

At first thought, it might sound a bit much to have children on this type of trip. However, it is actually the perfect trip for children! Children often prefer being driven by their parents over sitting in transfer, and there's a wealth of activities on offer; they'll be kept well entertained.

Benefit of Self Drive? Well...

The beauty of having your own vehicle is that you can drive anywhere, literally anywhere.

It's amazing fun and the level of adventure can be dialled from 1 to 10 depending on what you're after. The key is knowing where to go, how to book and who to call if you need support. That's where we step in. Whether you're driving remote in corners of the country or get stuck in sandy tracks, know you're never alone.

why stop there

Once you're finished with Namibia, why not go see Botswana's Okavango Delta or Zambia's Victoria Falls? We can arrange this for you.
