Namibia Self-Drive Safaris

Self driving in Namibia

There are many good reason to self drive around Namibia, but it is a good idea to come prepared and that's where we come in. At the Cardboard Box Travel Shop we have years of knowledge regarding what to see, when to see it, Namibian road conditions, accommodation establishments, camping sites, vehicle rental and anything else you may want to know about.

We will help you plan your self drive route and will recommend (and book) accommodation in Namibia, organise the rental vehicle you require, and generally take all the hassle out of the planning process. Planning other peoples self drive itineraries is the favourite part of our job; as it gives us an outlet for all the knowledge we have accumulated.

Every self-drive itinerary we design is tailored to our clients needs, the more you tell us about your interests and requirements the better we are able to match you with the perfect Namibian self-drive experience. Please email us about your trip and one of our travel consultants will get back to you with an itinerary.

To get you started we've added some suggested itineraries, these are categorised into camping, accommodated and 'dream' itineraries, but we're happy to mix and match various accommodation options to suit your requirements. One of our travel consultants will guide you through the process, making suitable suggestions where appropriate. To aid you in getting an idea of the distances involved in driving between places have a look at the distance chart Namibia.
