Preparations for motor home rental in Namibia

Namibia is a great country to explore by campervan. You can choose to make a big tour through Namibia only or to make a combination with for example Botswana or South Africa. However, keep in mind the enormous distances in this area. It is wise to make a global planning in advance. As a starting point, we recommend an average of no more than 200 kilometers per day. Campervan rentals in Namibia always include unlimited mileage. An excellent travel time for Namibia is from late April to mid-November. The rainy season runs from December to March.

The campervan rental during your tour in Namibia

Would you like to rent a motorhome in Namibia? Then you can choose from many different types and sizes of motorhomes. Each vehicle is equipped with a simple or in some cases a comprehensive kitchen with gas stove and refrigerator. Bed linen, hand and tea towels, cooking utensils, cutlery, plates and glasses are included. For a campervan trip through Namibia, we recommend a 4x4 campervan with possibly a rooftop tent, as it provides comfort and safety. The main main roads in Namibia are asphalted, but most secondary roads are gravel, but passable. The 4x4 vehicles are fully equipped for your adventure. We recommend that you bring soft suitcases or bags instead of the "hard cover" suitcases. Soft cases take up less space and are easier to store in the vehicle.

Driving regulations in Namibia

Are you going to rent a motorhome in Namibia? Then it is important to know the traffic rules well in advance. In Namibia people drive on the left. Therefore, be especially wary during the first few days so that you have time to get used to this. You are required to wear a seat belt and it is forbidden to drink alcohol before or while driving. In Namibia, the speed limit is 120 km per hour on paved roads and on unpaved roads the advisory speed is 60 and 80 km per hour. In built-up areas, the speed limit is 60 km per hour. In most national parks you must drive more slowly (e.g. Etosha NP max. 40 km per hour). In case of a criminal offense, the fine, along with the administration fee, will be charged to your credit card.

Motorhome rental in Namibia

In Namibia, Windhoek is the most commonly used depot to start and end your trip. You can choose to explore a particular region of Namibia or combine your tour with Botswana or South Africa, for example. For a surcharge, it is possible to drop off 4WD motorhomes in South Africa (Johannesburg, Cape Town), Zambia (Livingstone), Zimbabwe (Harare, Victoria Falls), Mozambique (Maputo, Vilanculos) and Botswana (Maun and Kasane) (costs on request).

Campsites in Namibia

Namibia has an extensive network of campsites with often moderate facilities. A pitch usually costs between 120 and 240 ZAR/NAD per vehicle (with 2 travelers) per night, depending on the facilities of the pitch and whether you need electricity. Outside the high season (Christmas, Easter and from July to October) and in national parks, you generally do not need to book the pitch in advance. In the main season it is important to book early, due to the low supply. We are happy to help you book the camp sites. It is possible to alternate camp sites with stays in luxury private lodges/camps, where full board and activities are included. This way you can enjoy the typical Namibian hospitality.

Which licenses do I need to rent a motorhome in Namibia?

Would you like to rent a campervan in Namibia? To rent a 4WD car or motorhome you need - in addition to a valid European driving license - an international driving license. You can obtain this at the ANWB. All motorhomes on the site of GoTravelhome can be driven with a B driving license. Sometimes additional conditions apply for campervan rentals in Namibia in terms of age or the number of years you have held a driving license.

Tips for your campervan tour in Namibia

Namibia is a large and vast country, where - if you go camping - you should keep in mind that campsites do not have a store and you will often stay in very remote areas. For your safety, we advise you not to drive at night (wild animals!) and to turn on your car lights when there is a lot of dust. When traveling and especially in remote areas, take plenty of drinking water with you. Tap water in Namibia is drinkable unless expressly stated otherwise. Water is available almost everywhere.
