Stunning sunsets, impressive landscapes, and a variety of things to do and experience – explore Namibia independently in your rental car.
If you are a confident and fairly experienced driver and don’t mind long hours behind the wheel, you will enjoy an adventure on the open road. Look forward to a spectacular experience: desert tours and catamaran trips, safari game drives and hiking tours, ghost towns and ancient rock art.
Travel as couple or family, solo or with your friends. You can overnight at personal guest houses, remote desert camps or family-run guest farms. Our experienced travel experts plan your itinerary, book your accommodations and your rental car, and share important tips and tricks for the road with you.
For the independent and intrepid traveler
A self-drive safari is a particularly unique way to explore Namibia, surely one of the best countries in the world for a self-drive adventure. Our self-drive safari itineraries are carefully handpicked to ensure you get the most out of your time in Namibia, but without having to compromise on comfort and peace of mind.
What to expect
On a self-drive holiday, you drive yourself in your 2×4 or 4×4 rental car from one destination to the next.
Along the way, we have included exciting activities into your itinerary: a visit to a seal colony, walking up and running down the sand dunes of Sossusvlei, or looking for the desert adapted elephants of the Damaraland. Depending on location and activity, you can join guided experiences as well.
Your accommodation may offer a guided sunset drive, a nature walk or a game drive together with a professional guide in Etosha National Park. This way, you get the best of both worlds.
Who should go on a self-drive safari in Namibia
For a tailored travel experience with flexibility and privacy, choose a private guided or self-drive safari. Unlike guided group safaris, you'll travel with only friends and family, customizing your itinerary.
On a self-drive tour, you control your stops and enjoy privacy, though be prepared for long drives.
We handle your car rental and accommodations, providing structure while allowing leisure stops optional guided activities. If you seek adventure with flexibility and a pre-booked itinerary, our Namibia self-drive tours are perfect for you.
