Using our tour self drive requests, they put together our 29 day itinerary. It was a nice mix between camping and resorts. Our trip information was well documented and we were able to follow day by day. Upon arrival at camps + lodges, the paperwork was organised.

Excellent holiday around Namibia on a self 4WD. All very well organised by the company, 4WD vehicle was excellent, campsites and other accommodation booked also excellent. The app was incredibly useful and the company answered all my questions before the trip with patience!

Strengths
Very useful app provided Very knowledgeable about Namibia Very accommodating of my many queries: Improvements or suggestions
A better map/info could be provided for the ‘adventurous route’ between Ugab and Twyfelfontein - for 6 hours we were unsure we were going the right way!!: Product of service:

Every detail of our trip was perfect. All the vouchers, the truck rental, the app; everything worked great and we drove and camped with confidence. The campsites were great and we had a very enjoyable experience.

Strengths
Communications with the company. The app.: Improvements or suggestions
The GPS was OK. The car rental company showed us how to use it but it didn't have Tracks4Africa loaded to it. It still got us around, but we downloaded the Tracks4Africa app to our phone and bought the USD$12.99 country map and that was amazing. The app showed a much greater detail and it showed us where we were at all times. This was particularly important in places like Moremi Game Reserve and around Kudu Island.: Product of service:

From the very start my experience was excellent.I started out with a basic plan of where I wanted to go.The guy who dealt with my trip,Mike Van Den Oord, started out with an itinerary.I was in contact with him throughout until I settled on the places that I wanted to visit.He was very helpful throughout the whole process and whenever I emailed him about anything he replied to me within a couple of days but most of the time straight away.

Improvements or suggestions
I don't know if this has to do with this company or the car hire company.On my schedule it would tell me to use the Tracks 4 Africa on the GPS to find the various campsites.A couple of these sites were not recognised however I tried various ways on the keypad.But this is just a minor thing and I found the places I was looking for eventually: Strengths
I cannot think about the company strengths.The service they provided me with was 1st rate and I had all the information I needed for my trip a long time before it started so it was easy for me to prepare in advance: Product of service:

I really recommend self drive for planning your adventurous trip in Africa! First all the car drives schedules were precise and the mix in lodge and camping were very much welcome with the 8 years old as suggested by Mike. We had a fridge issue but all along the way you can get assistance and we get it repaired in Kasane. Also we had the booking confusion at the Kruger and the assistance worked well with Marco by WhatsApp. Very much appreciated to be alone with those supports. We haven’t took the satellite phone as we were equipped with a Starlink antenna but not available in South Africa.

Improvements or suggestions
We pinched the tire once and the Jack is not the best one considering the 4x4 tyre size. We had to get assistance by locals to use a very standard one that lift the car higher.: Strengths

This selfdrive in Namibia was exactly as we hoped it would be. ASCO Carhire worked perfectly and the super cover was great as we cracked the windshield on day one. We loved all campsites/lodges which all had amazing surroundings and warm hospitality. Already considering using them again next year for Botswana.

Improvements or suggestions
None really except perhaps to simplify the app a bit (which we did love still).: Strengths

Overall experience was very good. We liked the personal service we received from Hans

Improvements or suggestions
The driving distance on the first day was one of the longest. Having never driven African roads before We were unfamiliar with the vehicle and driving on gravel roads. A shorter first leg would have been better so we were able to arrive at our first campsite earlier in order to familiarise ourselves with the vehicle & equipment: Strengths
