The rental company

Africa on Wheels, Toyota 4x4s for exploring Namibia

Africa on Wheels is a rental company based in Namibia, whose main depot is in Windhoek, on Sam Nujoma Drive, in the Windhoek-West district. In our observations, its fleet consists solely of Toyotas: double-cab Hilux in 2.4 or 2.8 litre versions, Land Cruiser 79 and 76, Fortuner, Land Cruiser 300, and the Quantum 4x4 minibus.

Most models can be hired in two ways: equipped for camping, with a roof tent and 2, 4 or 6 berths, or on their own, for those staying in lodges. The Bush Villa, based on the Land Cruiser 79, sleeps four; the Hilux AHA Camping is designed for two. Groups will find an eight-seat Land Cruiser 76 and an eleven-seat Quantum.

Outside Windhoek, you can set off from Swakopmund or Walvis Bay on the Atlantic, Keetmanshoop in the south, Gobabis in the east, Omaruru, Tsumeb, Fort Namutoni at the entrance to Etosha, Epupa on the banks of the Kunene or Katima Mulilo in the Zambezi region. Every offer observed by CoolDrive includes unlimited mileage.

Our verdict: an attentive local rental company that covers almost the whole country and offers vehicles ranging from a 4x4 for two to a group minibus. Its weak points: outside Windhoek, departure points without a detailed address, to be confirmed when booking, and distances that make it essential to check the vehicle and emergency equipment carefully before setting off.

Our view

Africa on Wheels: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?

Africa on Wheels is ideal if…

  • You dream of nights in the bush, in a tent on the roof of your 4x4
  • You are travelling as several families: there is an eight-seat Land Cruiser 76 or an eleven-seat Quantum
  • You prefer an automatic gearbox: the fleet’s Hilux vehicles have one
  • You want to start on the coast, near Etosha or in the Zambezi region rather than in Windhoek
  • Your loop covers several thousand kilometres: none of the observed offers limits them

Africa on Wheels is not ideal if…

  • You are looking for a classic motorhome, with a shower and toilet on board
  • You want to know the excess before any search: our observations do not show it
  • You insist on an automatic Land Cruiser 76 or 79: the ones we observed are manual
  • You have never driven on gravel tracks or on the left, and it worries you
  • You don’t want to deal with a mechanical problem yourself far from any depot, on remote tracks
Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Africa on Wheels

  1. Hilux or Land Cruiser: choose according to the tracks

    The Hilux 2.4 is the cheapest model in our observations and it is automatic: it is enough for the great classics, from Sossusvlei to Etosha. The Land Cruiser 79, with a manual gearbox, is more reassuring on the rocky tracks of Kaokoland, towards Epupa, or on the sand of the Zambezi region.

  2. Count the berths, not just the seats

    The Land Cruiser 76 has eight seats, but 4 or 6 berths depending on the equipped version. The Quantum minibus and the 4x4s hired on their own have no berths at all: they are suited to a lodge-to-lodge trip. Check both figures on the vehicle page before booking.

  3. Organise your arrival in Windhoek

    The Windhoek depot is in town, in the Windhoek-West district, and not at Hosea Kutako International Airport, located east of the capital. Plan the journey to the depot and, if your flight arrives late, a night in town before collecting the vehicle.

  4. Make the most of departures outside the capital

    Setting off from Katima Mulilo opens the road to Victoria Falls and Chobe, while starting from Epupa puts you straight into the heart of Kaokoland. Enter these cities in your search, with a different return city if needed: only compatible offers are displayed.

  5. Look at January prices

    In our observations, January prices are significantly lower than those of July, October or April. It is the rainy season in the north: tracks can be muddy, but Etosha turns green and there are fewer visitors. For the dry season, book several months in advance.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Africa on Wheels

Which vehicles does Africa on Wheels rent in Namibia?

Only Toyotas in our observations: double-cab Hilux 2.4 or 2.8, Land Cruiser 79, 76 and 300, Fortuner and the Quantum 4x4 minibus. The equipped versions carry a roof tent and offer 2, 4 or 6 berths, including the Bush Villa and the Hilux AHA Camping. The other models are hired without camping equipment, for a lodge-based trip.

Is mileage unlimited with Africa on Wheels?

Yes: none of the Africa on Wheels offers observed by CoolDrive in October 2026 limits the kilometres, whether for an equipped 4x4 or a 4x4 on its own. In Namibia, this is invaluable: linking Windhoek, the Namib Desert, the coast and Etosha, then heading up to Epupa or the Zambezi region, means several thousand kilometres of roads and tracks.

Can I hire a vehicle for a large group?

Yes, it is one of this rental company’s distinctive features. The Land Cruiser 76 has eight seats and comes in an equipped version with 4 or 6 berths, or without equipment. The Quantum 4x4 minibus carries eleven people, with no berths: it is well suited to a lodge tour. For a group that camps, two equipped 4x4s are often more practical.

Which cities can I depart from with Africa on Wheels?

The main depot is in Windhoek. Departures are also possible from Swakopmund and Walvis Bay on the coast, Keetmanshoop in the south, Gobabis in the east, Omaruru, Tsumeb and Fort Namutoni near Etosha, Epupa in the north-west and Katima Mulilo in the Zambezi region. Outside the capital, the exact handover location is confirmed at booking.

How much does Africa on Wheels hire cost in Namibia?

For a 15-day hire, our prices observed in October 2026 put an unequipped 4x4 from €76 per day and an equipped 4x4 from €85, in January. In July, the median reaches around €236 per day for an equipped model and €241 for a 4x4 on its own, including minibuses and large Land Cruisers, mandatory fees included. Your dates and model determine the exact price.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Africa on Wheels 4x4 camper hire in Namibia

Why book Africa on Wheels with CoolDrive?

A single CoolDrive search puts Africa on Wheels up against the other Namibian rental companies, from Asco to Bushlore Africa and Britz. The price shown already includes mandatory fees, and an expert can help you decide between Hilux and Land Cruiser, choose the best-placed departure city or prepare a border crossing.

What excess should I expect with Africa on Wheels?

Our observations do not give the excess amount for this rental company: it appears in the terms of each offer and may vary depending on the vehicle and the cover chosen. Read it before booking, check the limit on the credit card that will be used for the security deposit and ask our experts about ways to reduce it.

Can I return the 4x4 in another city?

With ten departure cities, a one-way hire is conceivable, for example from Windhoek to Katima Mulilo to continue on to Victoria Falls. Its availability and fees depend on the offer. In the search engine, choose a different arrival city: it will then only show compatible offers, with their full price.

What does an equipped Africa on Wheels 4x4 include?

An equipped 4x4 is designed for self-sufficient camping: a roof tent and camping gear, the details of which vary by model. The exact list is in the vehicle description. On departure, check the inventory with the depot, test opening the tent and check the spare wheel before leaving town.

Can I cross into Botswana or South Africa?

The rental company mentions road trips between Namibia and South Africa, but every exit from the country must be approved by Africa on Wheels. Permitted countries, documents to carry and any fees are described in the terms of the offer. Give your full itinerary when booking to avoid any problems.

Which season should I choose for a 4x4 trip in Namibia?

The dry season, from May to October, offers passable tracks and wildlife gathered around Etosha’s waterholes; nights from June to August are cold in the tent. From November to April, the heat rises and the rains mainly affect the north and the Zambezi region, but the landscapes turn green and observed prices fall.
