The freedom to Explore Namibia on your own terms

There is no better way to discover Namibia than at your own pace, on your own terms. Our sister brand Explore Namibia makes that possible, with self-drive tours built around freedom, proper preparation, and a deep knowledge of the country.

Explore Namibia specialises in self-drive travel through southern Africa. Choose from a range of expertly designed routes, or build your own itinerary around the places that you like. Either way, you arrive fully prepared: a fully equipped 4×4 rental car, pre-booked accommodations or camping spots, detailed roadbooks, and a team on the phone if you need them.

Self-Drive Itinerary ‘BIG 5’

The perfect safari trip for a diverse self-drive adventure through Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe, featuring wildlife safaris, cultural encounters, river cruises, and the breathtaking Victoria Falls.

Starting at Okonjima, home of the AfriCat Foundation, you track leopards and learn about wildlife conservation before heading to Etosha National Park for classic waterhole game viewing: elephants, giraffes, zebras, and more.

From there the route moves north into the lush Zambezi Region, where river cruises and cultural village visits offer a striking contrast to Namibia’s desert landscapes. Crossing into Botswana, Chobe National Park delivers Africa’s largest elephant herds, before the journey ends in spectacular fashion at Victoria Falls, with walks along the gorge, helicopter flights, and sunset cruises.

  • Day 3-4: Etosha National Park
