The self-driver explores Namibia on his own, but benefits from our knowledge, experience and logistics.
Accommodation
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.
Remember that you book directly with us and do not have to finance an agent’s commission.
Car hire / rental car:
We use Namibian local providers and have the following criteria:
The maximum age of the rental vehicles will be 3 years, (we are happy to book older vehicles to reduce costs, but only if you wish us to do so).
Correct gravel road suspension, tyres in excellent condition and always two good spare tyres!
Highest possible insurance with minimal excess! (recommended)
Competence of the emergency service, handling and customer care!

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.
Toyota Fortuner
With four-wheel drive and full automatic, it is and remains an absolute favourite among our self-drive guests, despite being slightly more expensive than the Hilux.
The Toyota Hilux 2.4 Double Cab
Quite often offered and charged by us in the ROUTE PROPOSALS due to reasons concerning the price.
The Toyota Hilux 2.8l Double Cab
This is the popular Hilux with 2.8l engine, a small upgrade to the 2.4l.
Toyota Land Cruiser
We work with the most reliable company in Namibia and are very happy to offer these various Land Cruisers as rental vehicles, as natural driving comfort is assured here.
Toyota Land Cruiser Doppelkabiner
Very suitable for gravel roads are these robust Land Cruiser double cabs. All our vehicles are fitted with correct tyres for Namibia's sometimes disastrous road conditions. Additionally, it is important to know that we provide TWO spare tyres... so you don't get stuck in the desert.
Toyota Land Cruiser gestreckt
If your group or family is a little larger, this stretched Land Cruiser would be the optimal choice.
