Self‑drive
An independent (self-drive) tour is one of the best and most affordable ways to explore Southern Africa.
One of the most enjoyable and flexible ways to explore Namibia is to hire a car and drive yourself to the remote destinations. You can take your time, stop along the way and change your itinerary at short notice. The road network is excellent, well sign-posted and traffic is very light. Most of your motoring is done on well-graded gravel roads.
While we can certainly arrange car hire for an adventurous self-drive tour to Botswana, Zambia and Victoria Falls these are best served as fly-in or guided safari destinations. However, sections of your safari may well include a self-drive option so talk to your Travel Expert about the best options for combining a self-drive tour with a fly-in or guided safari.
