Built for Namibia Self-Drive
Savanna Car Hire—also known to German-speaking travellers as Autovermietung Savanna—is a Windhoek-based car-hire provider operating since 1994. Its vehicle range allows travellers to choose between passenger vehicles, SUVs, standard 4x4s and equipped camping vehicles according to the route, group size and style of journey.
The company supports its fleet through an in-house Windhoek workshop, Toyota- and Ford-specialised mechanics and a published network of workshops and garages around Namibia.
Vehicle choice, road restrictions, insurance conditions and cross-border permissions depend on the journey. Travellers should confirm the current terms directly with Savanna before departure.

Why Savanna Works for Namibia Journeys
A Namibia self-drive trip changes character with the route, the road surface, the number of travellers and the amount of equipment on board. Savanna's published range gives travellers a practical way to match vehicle choice to the journey rather than treating every route as the same decision.
Equipped camping vehicles, optional navigation and communication equipment, and workshop support in Windhoek all help travellers prepare more carefully for remote travel. The important step is to confirm the current vehicle, equipment, road-use and support terms directly with Savanna before departure.
Planning Context
