Prior 4wd driving experience is not essential as we will give a you a briefing on arrival but we do recommend you do some research on general 4×4 driving prior to arriving.

The operation of engaging 4wd is simple and then if you drive cautiously you should be fine.

In sand you should keep your momentum through the thicker parts without speeding. Try and avoid mud and don’t cross obstacles you are not comfortable with.

There are areas we do recommend prior 4wd driving, these may include some areas of Botswana and the kaokoland in Namibia.

We offer 24 hour road assistance and any mechanical problem caused through normal use or fair wear and tear is our responsibility. We will diagnose the problem and then either recommend you take to a workshop at our expense if you are still mobile or we will replace the vehicle in the case of more major issues.

Self drive is very safe and more popular than ever in southern Africa. Like anywhere you need to be diligent in certain areas.

In 17 years we have never had any client injured or worse through a criminal activity.

No one has been injured by an animal accept where negligence was involved.

Always drive safely and responsibly as like anywhere in the world motor vehicle accidents are your biggest risk. Most of our clients are taken back with how friendly the African people are.

We can deliver vehicles to most cities but if outside our normal offices this will attract delivery fees. We do recommend using one of our 4 offices or depo’s. We have offices in Johannesburg and Cape Town in South Africa, Kasane in Botswana and Windhoek, Namibia. Vic falls is very close to Kasane.

4×4 is not essential in South Africa however it does open up your access to some of the most special parts of the country and these include the Richtersveld, Kgalagardi Transfrontier Park, Kosi Bay and St Lucia wetland and coastal areas. The wild coast and Baviaanskloof. Lesotho and the Sani pass. Some areas of the Waterberg and some very special parks in Limpopo are only accessible by 4wd.

Also don’t forget the exclusivity of the kruger 4wd trails. 4×4 campers offer complete flexibility and far better ride height for game viewing. Rather have it and not need it that need it and not have it. Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia 4wd is essential to visit any of the parks. Namibia it is recommended and it is essential in many parts of Mozambique.

Lastly all these areas have many ‘remote parts’ where all the additional equipment we supply with our vehicles like long range fuel tanks, dual batteries and second spares to mention a few are highly recommended for safe travel.

We allow our vehicles to South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique as well as Malawi, Tanzania, Angola, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda.
