Motorhome rental in Africa

What could be better than traveling through the fantastic landscapes of Africa? With the motorhome you are as close as possible to and in the beautiful nature. And driving across the Savannah with your own 4WD motorhome is an unforgettable adventure. A motorhome tour of Africa is always an experience! Let yourself be enchanted by the colors of this continent. In Namibia, the horizon seems endless and you will see so many shades of red, orange and yellow.

South Africa is so diverse and varied: the beautiful, jagged coastlines contrast with red rocks and green landscapes, there are wine regions, fantastic wetlands, overgrown mountain ridges, the vast savannahs. A thundering feast of water can be found at the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia - the Victoria Falls. The spectacle, of course, are the magnificent nature parks with the Big 5 and other fascinating animals.

The advantages of renting a motorhome in Africa

Traveling by motorhome in Africa gives a sense of freedom. You can choose your own route, get out where you want and for how long you want. At the end of the day you don't have to search for a hotel and you don't have to keep unpacking your suitcases. You can spend the night at the most beautiful places, for example at a beautiful beach or in one of the many nature reserves or National Park. Every night you sleep in the same bed and at all times you can prepare your own food and picnic wherever you want.

Rent a motorhome in Africa and live in it

In Africa you can choose from RVs of all shapes and sizes, there are many 4WD motorhomes for rent but also some traditional motorhomes. Each vehicle is equipped with sometimes a very simple outdoor kitchen and sometimes a fairly elaborate kitchen inside with a gas stove, sometimes a refrigerator. Cooking utensils, cutlery, plates, glasses, hand and tea towels can be rented separately as well as bed linen. We recommend bringing soft suitcases and bags instead of "hard cover" suitcases. Soft cases take up less space when empty and are easier to store in a vehicle.

Preparations about motorhome rentals in Africa

Traveling in Africa requires some preparation, if only because the distances are great. South Africa alone is 30 times bigger than the Netherlands and therefore it is necessary to make choices. As a starting point when planning your trip, we recommend that you definitely do not travel more than 150 to 200 kilometers per day on average.

What driving licenses do I need to rent a vehicle in Africa?

If you are going to rent a motorhome in Africa, you must always carry a valid, national driver's license. An international driver's license is required in Namibia and Botswana and is highly recommended in South Africa and Zambia. All motorhomes on the GoTravelhome site can be driven with a B driver's license. Sometimes a motorhome rental company in Africa may have additional requirements such as age or you must have held a driver's license for a number of years.

Driving through southern Africa with a campervan or 4x4 vehicle

Southern Africa is generally driven on the left. Distances are sometimes very long and travel time can vary greatly depending on the season. Keep this in mind when planning your day.
In South Africa, there is an extensive network of gas stations in the cities and along the main roads. In other, remote areas, gas stations are scarce, so it is recommended to refuel as often as possible.
