Freedom Offered by Campervan Rental

Renting an RV in Southern Africa is a comfortable way to explore the open road. At the end of a day’s drive, there are no tents to pitch or campsites to set up. Our RV rentals are fully equipped, self-contained vehicles that hold everything you need for your trip. All you need is your touring party, food, and a sense of adventure before setting off in your RV.

Key differences between 4×4 rental and camper hire

4x4s are all-terrain vehicles designed for off-road travel, with additional height clearance, low-range gearing, and four-wheel drive traction. Fully equipped 4×4 rentals come with all the necessities for off-road safari and camping trips, including pitching tents at each destination.

An RV, campervan, or motorhome is a self-contained vehicle providing both sleeping accommodations and transport. The level of features can vary from a simple sleeper vehicle with a small kitchenette, power supply, and portable toilet, to a luxurious recreational vehicle with hot showers, air conditioning, and an indoor toilet. While some of our RVs are 4×4, they are not always designed for off-road trails and may have restrictions on the type of roads you can travel on.
