Affordable Campervan Hire South Africa

South Africa Campervan Hire, Motorhome and RV Rental.

South Africa is well know for its safaris and stunning cities but have you heard about the Garden route or the incredible beaches? Touring in a campervan around South Africa is a voyage of discovery.

If you are feeling nervous about how to go about renting a campervan then we are here to help. It is a similar process to renting a car but there are a few other considerations to think about. Firstly, where is everybody going to sleep? Not all campervans, 4WD campers, motorhomes and RV's are laid out inside the same. Some have enough room for six to sleep in three double beds. Others have a mixture of doubles and bunk beds and single beds too.

The larger motorhomes in South Africa have built-in shower and wc's. They are fully equipped for sleeping and eating. A small kitchen is also well equipped as standard.

The range of vehicles does vary from depot to depot. There is a different range between Johannesburg and Cape Town.

In remoter areas the vehicles are mostly 4x4 Land Cruisers and Toyota Hiluxes. Those more adventurous rent four-wheel drive vehicles to explore game parks and travel dirt roads.

The sleeping arrangements in the 4WD vehicles are often roof tents. A certain degree of agility required to climb the exterior ladder to the tents on the roof.

South Africa has long established, international brands of motorhome companies. These are also well known in Australia and New Zealand. Names such as Britz and Maui will be familiar to Australians and New Zealanders.

South Africa also has its own local companies such as Caprivi and Bobo and Roadtrippers. Combined there is a wealth of campervans to choose from to match both your needs and budget.

South Africa also has a very high standard of campsites that are competitively priced. We recommend that our customers spend every night in a campsite.
