A fully equipped 4x4 vehicle is best for a self-drive Namibian journey By far the best vehicle for Namibia is a 4×4 that’s fully-equipped for self-sufficient camping. Second best would be a sturdy, high-clearance 2×4 or motorhome, and third choice, a regular car. A 4×4 grants access to everything Namibia has to offer and the ability to camp anywhere saves on accommodation costs and allows you to experience the remote parts of Damaraland, Kaokoland and the Zambezi Region, not to mention the Namib Dunes. Four-wheel-drive is not 100% necessary elsewhere, but there are still local areas across the country where a 4×4 will get you to places a regular car will not. namamibia self drive leaderboard
