Namibia Self Drive
Safari

With its epic desert landscapes and vast empty roads, Namibia is as safe as it is exhilarating for family holidays.

About Self Drive Safaris

If you like the idea of a proper road trip – bundling the family into your own four-wheel drive and taking to the open road in one of Africa’s most beautiful countries – then look no further.

The scale of Namibia and its magical scenery make this an adventure of epic proportions. You can drive for a full day in many parts of the country without seeing another car, but excellent back-up and well maintained roads and signs make this a safe trip to undertake with children. 

Combine self-driving for several days with one or two sorties with expert desert guides to see the best of it.

BEST TIME TO GO ON A SELF DRIVE SAFARI

Namibia is a year-round destination and your itinerary will be tailored to suit your travel dates and in-country conditions.

The best time to visit Namibia on a self-drive safari is between July and October when temperatures are a pleasant 20 degrees and the chance of rainfall is relatively low. This time of year is also the best for game-viewing and can be popular with other visitors so make sure you plan ahead. This time of year also fits in nicely with school holidays.

DESERT-ADAPTED SPECIES

Namibia is unexpectedly varied in terms of terrain and wildlife. Pale sand-dunes, salt pans, canyons and mountains are found variously along the route.

In certain areas it’s possible to track desert-adapted elephant, rhino and lion amongst the riverbeds and there are also cheetah, giraffe, gemsbok, springbok and zebra.
