Namibia makes an excellent choice for a self drive safari and holiday location in Africa. With excellent National Parks like the Etosha National Park to visit and generally a good road infrastructure to get to them. Hiring a car in Namibia and going on a self drive adventure is relativity easy and can work out much cheaper than staying in hotels and safari lodges as well as giving you far more freedom and flexibility.
The Roads in Namibia
Generally Namibian roads are pretty good, however many are dirt tracks, which are mostly drivable in normal sedan cars, unless it rains. If you plan on visiting Namibia in the rainy season, you are highly advised to rent a 4x4.
Specialist Vehicles
There are also many specialist vehicle rental companies in Namibia that not only offer 4x4's, but ones that are fully equipped for camping. Now I know that a camping holiday in the middle of the African bush is not for everyone, but for those that are, Namibia was everything you could ever hope for with many truly wild places to go camping.
If camping is not your idea of a holiday, you can still enjoy an excellent self drive holiday as Namibia has many excellent quality B&B's, guest houses as well as safari lodges that you can organise to get to under your own steam, saving you money.
