Namibia - an excellent self drive destination
Enjoy a refreshing dip in a natural spring after a long and dusty drive through the Namib Desert; or park you car in front of a waterhole in Etosha and stay there all day taking pictures of the passing wildlife.
With a network covering more than 40,000km, Namibia is an excellent self-drive destination. Especially if you want to get a away from it all. Most of the network is well-graded gravel road that sees almost no traffic. The low rainfall figures mean that most roads stay in good condition all year round and you can get to the major highlights in a normal 2WD sedan vehicle.
But the fun starts when you hire a fully-equipped off-road vehicle and camp in some of the most remote and isolated places in southern Africa. A self-drive safari in Namibia is more about the journey than the destination. Long drives mean frequent overnight stops and you get to see and experience the fascinating contrasts that this country has to offer.
Adventure-seekers can team up with two or more off-road vehicles and tackle some Namibia's rugged frontiers. Places without roads where the only form of transport is the donkey-drawn scotch cart. A self-drive safari offers flexibility and an exciting journey to your lodge. If time is critical and money is not, we recommend a fly-in safari – the option that places more emphasis on being there, and less on getting there.
