Namibia is a wonderful country for independent travel as it has miles and miles of well-maintained roads through spectacular scenery. Most roads are suitable for a standard saloon car although many people enjoy the extra height of a 2x4 vehicle. There is a tremendous selection of properties in Namibia, ranging from 5-star boutique lodges to good value guesthouses, and these are well spaced so that distances each day are very manageable. We will provide you with detailed maps and our car hire company has 24 hour support vehicles. Self-driving in Namibia is popular with couples and families alike and for the really adventurous we offer a four-wheel drive option with pop-up roof-top camping.
