For the intrepid traveller, a guided self-drive safari in Namibia is not just a journey; it’s a thrilling expedition into one of the world’s most stunning landscapes.
Namibia is renowned for its off-road allure, inviting adventurers to explore its remote corners and experience its raw beauty like never before. Our meticulously crafted itineraries ensure you make the most of every moment in this extraordinary land.
Imagine yourself behind the wheel of a rugged 4×4, equipped for camping and ready to tackle the wilderness. Each day brings new adventures as you traverse breathtaking terrains.
Visit a bustling seal colony, drive along the beaches of the Skeleton Coast, and seek out the desert-adapted elephants roaming the dry riverbeds of Damaraland. This isn’t just a vacation; it’s an opportunity to connect with nature in the most exhilarating way possible.
Embark on one of these adventures and immerse yourself in the heart of Namibia — where every turn reveals another breathtaking vista and every experience ignites your spirit of adventure.
What is the difference between a classic self-drive tour and a guided self-drive tour?
Our classic self-drive tours are private tours for just you and your partner, family or friends. You drive your rental car from one destination to the next, exploring sights along the way. You will usually overnight at lodge accommodations.
Our guided self-drive tours are set up as small group tours with a maximum of six vehicles (private tours on request), departing on set dates with travellers from around the world.
You will drive your own vehicle. However, there is a guide and crew in a separate vehicle accompanying you. They will guide you across remote terrain and give you the confidence you need to go on this adventure.
You will overnight at secluded campsites instead of lodge accommodation.
What to see and where to stay on our self-drive safaris
Namibia is a paradise for self-drivers, with largely untouched landscapes that invite exploration away from the beaten path.
Namibia is easy to navigate, unlike many other African countries, due to its well-maintained roads and excellent amenities. It strikes the perfect balance between adventure and comfort for every traveller.
As a result, no prior experience is necessary to embark on a guided self-drive journey. If you need assistance, our guides will provide helpful advice.
A guided self-drive tour lets you explore Namibia’s iconic destinations, including the stunning landscapes of Kaokoveld and the Namib Desert. Our Off-the-Beaten-Path Namibia adventure takes you through some of the country’s most remote and beautiful areas.
Alternatively, you can choose the Skeleton Coast route, travelling north to the mouth of the Kunene River at the Angolan border.
Each route offers unique experiences.
When you contact Namibia-Experience, a travel expert will assist you in selecting the perfect tour for you.
We will take care of the logistics so you can focus on your journey. By partnering with trusted local car rental agencies, we provide a reliable 4×4 vehicle for your adventure.
At night, you will stay at remote, often completely wild campsites, enjoy delicious meals, and gather around a crackling fire with your companions.
Under a dark sky filled with countless stars, you’ll climb into your roof tent for a peaceful night’s sleep.
