4x4 car rental with high standards & reliability
A reliable car is most important when going on a safari trip.
The African heat along with the dust and bumps while driving on a gravel road or even off-road are hard conditions for all vehicles. Accidents and breakdowns may not only ruin your trip but also cost your life. For that reason we keep our vehicle fleet in continuous maintenance. Each car is on regular maintenance and is additionally going through a full-service after each trip to ensure best conditions.
Furthermore all cars have special modifications to fit best to the hard conditions of safari travelling. Since those modifications are varying your can find more details when browsing the rental car fleet.
Rent your camping gear or even a camping trailer
Independently if you are planning a camping or lodging safari, usually there is some extra equipment you will need. For camping trips this is quite obvious, tent equipment, cooking sets, cutlery, storage boxes and a fridge are necessary. On a lodge trip you may not feel the need of extra equipment but enjoying a stop on a scenic viewpoint, having your own chairs, table and a cold drink can sweeten up your journey. For trips with bigger groups or 9-seater rentals we usually offer a camping trailer for transporting the luggage as well as the equipment.

For being able to react to emergency situations and always stay in the insurance boundaries all cars are equipped with a GPS tracking systems that monitor speed and impacts of the car.
You can decide the level of insurance. We do offer different insurance packages. Depending on your level of experience you can decide, what level of coverage your trip and driving-skills may require.

What is a good 4x4 rental car for my trip?
If you already want to find out which type of safari car could be the right one for you trip before getting in touch with us, please check the following sections. For a basic decision the following questions help to lead to the right choice:
- How many people are travelling?
- Do you prefer travelling in a group?
- Are you planning to do camping or rather prefer staying in a lodge?
Ideal rental cars for lodge trips - safari SUVs
Lodge safaris are usually rather focused on comfort and relaxation. As lodges often offer special wildlife activities, you will mostly use your safari rental car to reach your next destination. Usually you have only your personal luggage on board. So there is no need for extra large storage space. A refrigerator in the car offers you even more travel comfort. Our 4x4 safari SUVs will a good option for that kind of travelling. They are offering maximum comfort also on long distance trips by still providing full 4x4 capabilities.
Ideal rental cars for camping trips - double cab pickups
Camping safaris are all about the nature and wildlife experience. You will need your tent as well as good camping equipment to be able to build up your temporary home in nature. So having enough space for that and also your personal belongings is key. Also, you might want to go a bit more off grid with your car while exploring the beauty of the bush. 4x4 Pickups or Bakkies as they are called in southern Africa are a good choice for that kind of trip. Our Bakkies are all double cabs providing space for up to 4 people.
Ideal rental cars for group trips - 9 seaters
You want to travel closely together with your family or friends? Why not travelling all together in one car instead of renting multiple cars? Often 9-seater safari vehicles are used for organized small group safaris. In the meantime, however, they are also becoming increasingly popular for family trips. They are offering space for 9 or sometimes even up to 10 people. So everybody can sit and enjoy the trip together. Only point to consider is the required space for luggage. The more people you are travelling with, the less space will be there for your luggage. Dependent on the amount of travelers we suggest to take the camping trailer along. This will even provide enough storage space for camping trips. By the way: to be able to enjoy your trip even more, consider getting your own driver & guide along with your safari 9-seater.
