NEW - Off Road Dune Driving for Namibia self drivers
Africa on Wheels is now offering vehicles for Off-Road-Dune-Driving for self-drives. In addition to the countries Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe, you can now travel with our approval into Angola. Namibia’s road network is known as one of the best in Africa. All of Namibia’s main roads are tarred. The majority of the roads are however sand and gravel roads. For a more comfortable driving experience we always recommend a four-wheel-drive vehicle. I am looking forward in welcoming you.

Sometimes, you just need to slow down.

A quiet morning, a good cup of coffee and nowhere else you need to be. ☕️

No rush. Just enjoy the moment.

There is an old San story from southern Africa about a girl who threw the ashes from her fire into the sky, so her people could find their way home at night.
The ash became the Milky Way.
Today, we still sleep beneath that same southern sky. Far from the lights of towns, the Milky Way stretches across the Namibian night sky – just as it has for generations.
Somewhere out there, the road home is written in the stars.

Making memories that matter. ❤️🇳🇦

"What's this little flap on the side of your canopy for?" 🤔

It's one of the questions we hear quite often, so here's the answer:

When you're driving on Namibia's gravel roads, the flap should be opened. It faces into the airflow, allowing fresh air to enter the canopy while you're driving.

This creates slight positive pressure inside the canopy. Instead of dusty air being drawn in through tiny gaps, the pressure pushes air back out, helping to keep dust away from your luggage. 💡

It might seem like a tiny detail, but it's a clever feature designed specifically for dusty road conditions – and one more reason why these vehicles are so well suited for exploring Namibia. 🚙💨

Small feature. Big difference. 😉

⚠️ Important Travel Update: If your Namibia road trip includes crossing the border into South Africa, please note that new Customs requirements came into effect on 1 July 2026.

Most travellers entering or leaving South Africa are now required to complete an online Traveller Declaration before travelling 👉 https://www.sars.gov.za/travellerdeclaration/

Key points:
✅ The declaration applies to most travellers by road, air, sea and rail.
✅ It must be completed within 24 hours before arrival in South Africa.
✅ Every traveller requires a declaration, including children (parents or guardians may complete it on their behalf).
✅ After submitting, you'll receive a confirmation that should be kept on your phone or printed for presentation if required.

The declaration forms part of South Africa's Customs process and includes declaring goods, currency and other items where applicable.

Please note that only limited exceptions apply (for example, certain air or sea transit passengers who remain within the international transit area).

As entry requirements can change, we strongly recommend checking the latest information and completing your declaration before travelling via the official SARS Traveller Management System.

Wishing you a smooth border crossing and an unforgettable journey! 🇳🇦🚙🇿🇦

Planning a Namibia road trip is exciting… but there is so much to see. 🇳🇦
Do you head for the iconic highlights like Sossusvlei, Fish River Canyon or Etosha? Or would you swap one of them for a lesser-known gem such as Twyfelfontein, Waterberg, or somewhere only seasoned travellers know about?
Imagine you have 10 days, a fully equipped 4x4, and the freedom to explore.
Which 3 places are definitely making your itinerary? 🤔
