Fantastic

Strengths
Detail of distances and time were accurate. Good balance of distance each day .
Improvements or suggestions
Some of the tracks are tricky , but advise was given and you learn as you go. I would suggest that a satellite phone is carried purely for peace of mind, should things go wrong. There was no Cell coverage .

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.

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

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
Professionnalisme and accommodating the requests and routes

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
Very flexible and can tailor to your needs. Managed to pick a route which ticked all our boxes.

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
Personal service and their own relevant experience in the places we visited

Excellent communication and organisation of our trip.

Strengths
Great support pre and during trip, everything was very smoothly run and staff were very friendly and helpful to deal with.
Improvements or suggestions
Suggestions for Bushlore and the in car equipment. Some of she equipment was sub par, knives extremely blunt, utensils hopeless, the can opener was broken when we took it out to use it for the first time, there was a lots of a few things. Bedding was very clean but pillows were barely a pillow, we ended up purchasing our own in Francistown. All the actual 4wd equipment was great just the camping gear needs some review, especially when supporting a family who need to cook more and greater amounts.

We've used Selfdrive 4x4 three times now, and have always had a great time. The routes are well thought out and exciting, whilst remembering it's a holiday so keeping the km/day sensible. Accomodation choices are all great (those that are a bit less good are in the parks so no other options). They are happy to discuss customisation to standard trips and we made a few tweaks to most trips based on what was our favourite place/campsite on a previous trip. Car was reliable and over three trips, 10000 km, we've not had a problem - not even had to change a tyre.

Our trip was prepared very professionally. We used an app that was very helpful. We didn't have any problems with vouchers or entrances to national parks. The itinerary met our expectations. The employees of the car rental company were very helpful, friendly and professional.

Strengths
The most helpful thing is offline app. The itinerary was very interesting.
Improvements or suggestions
1. In the description of our trip (20th of November) was a mistake. There is: "After the Makalamabedi Vet Gate, turn left and follow the Kuke fence". But the Makalambedi Gate is on the road to Motopi (direction Gweta). The passed this gate and after we realized that it is a wrong way. We had to come back to Maun, turn left and then we were on the right road. We reached the Kuke Vet Gate, turn left and followed the Kuke fence to the Tsau Gate. 2. We had some problems with GPS in our car. We had to reset it very often. We needed to use paper map. GPS in two others cars were OK.

An amazing trip with particularly well chosen campsites and lodges. None of the overnight stops disappointed. The route was stunning, manageable distances each day and just superb scenery and wildlife viewing. A very good hire 4x4, well equipped and very good condition. The only issue was with the satnav which did take a bit of sorting out. Otherwise was excellent.

Improvements or suggestions
The phone app is very good and useful. I know it is still in development. More of it needs to be downloadable onto your phone so that it doesn’t disappear when you don’t have WiFi.
Strengths
Really well chosen lodges and campsites.
