We focus on quality and individuality and, if possible, do not book large lodges or hotels.

When choosing accommodation, the location and quality (value for money) of the accommodation is paramount.

If you prefer absolute luxury, we need to know this beforehand so that we can meet your expectations.

Rental car

We rent out the best VEHICLES for your safari in Namibia!

As true Namibians, we know that the Toyota Hilux & Landcruiser is the best and safest solution to our rough gravel roads. When you book a self-drive tour with us, you will receive of these very high quality rental vehicles.

Group size: 1-4 persons

For groups of up to 4 people, we rent out the Toyota Land Cruiser SUV or Fortuner with automatic transmission. You are a little more robust with the Land Cruiser double cab.

The gravel road-proven Toyota Hilux double cab is also a good option and is booked by about 80% of all self-drive groups. Here you can enjoy a small upgrade with an engine that packs more power. Bear in mind, however, that you are only allowed to drive a maximum of 80 km/h on gravel roads and 120 km/h on asphalt roads.

Group size: 4-7 people

The 7-seater stretched Land Cruiser has 6 window seats

Insurance – the vexed subject

As we offer complete self-drive tours, we always include the “maximum” insurance with the lowest possible participation. Fully comprehensive insurance is not available in Namibia! In general, the insurance covers all damages including “moving objects”, which means any accident with other vehicles and animals. Please see the LEGAL section of this page for more details.

GPS – pre-programmed and free of charge!

In addition to a written route description and map, we also lend you a pre-programmed GPS free of charge. The well-known “Tracks for Africa” runs in the background, so you can keep an eye on your orientation even in the beautiful off-road areas of Namibia and reach your destination safely.
