Bobo Campers in Windhoek: a motorhome in 4x4 country
Namibia has a single Bobo Campers departure point: a depot at the Trans Kalahari Inn, on the B6, in Kappsfarm, east of Windhoek. This is the road leading to Hosea Kutako International Airport, so you avoid crossing the capital on arrival. The three models recorded belong to the Discoverer range: a low-profile for four, an overcab for six and the FunXA for two.
On 21 October 2026, CoolDrive recorded nine offers over 15 days, for pick-ups spread from January to October 2027: from €131 a day for a Discoverer 4 or a FunXA to €183 for a Discoverer 6, around €154 on average. That is clearly less than from Maun or Livingstone, where the same company starts at around €190. Unlimited mileage throughout, excess of €3,153.
The key takeaway: a motorhome holds its own on the tarred roads and good gravel roads leading to Sossusvlei, Swakopmund or Etosha, provided you drive slowly. Kaokoland, the sandy tracks of the north-east and remote crossings remain the preserve of 4x4s from Asco, Africa on Wheels or Caprivi, and the excess calls for real care behind the wheel.

Bobo Campers: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?
Bobo Campers is ideal if…
- You are following the classic Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Etosha loop
- You are arriving at Hosea Kutako and want to collect the vehicle without going into Windhoek
- You would rather sleep in a fixed bed than in a rooftop tent
Bobo Campers is not ideal if…
- Your itinerary takes in Kaokoland or the sandy tracks of the north-east
- You want to start in Swakopmund or near Etosha: Bobo Campers only departs from Windhoek
Our tips for booking with Bobo Campers
-
On gravel, speed is the enemy
Most of Namibia’s road network consists of gravel roads. With a tall, heavy vehicle like a motorhome, excessive speed on a bend or when overtaking is enough to cause a skid. Stay well below the posted limit, brake before bends and slow down markedly when a vehicle comes the other way in its cloud of dust.
-
Sossusvlei without a 4x4
From the Sesriem gate, a tarred road leads to the car park reserved for two-wheel-drive vehicles. The last few kilometres of sand to the vlei are covered by 4x4 shuttle. Set off early: the dunes are at their best at sunrise and the heat builds quickly.
-
Fill up at every opportunity
Filling stations become scarce as soon as you leave the main roads, and some close in the evening. Fill the tank in every town you pass through, keep cash in Namibian dollars and carry plenty of water, especially on the desert road.
Your questions about Bobo Campers
Where is the Bobo Campers depot in Windhoek?
At the Trans Kalahari Inn, on the B6 in Kappsfarm, east of the capital. This road links Windhoek with Hosea Kutako International Airport: if you arrive by plane, the depot is therefore on your way into the city. Our experts help you set the handover time to suit your flight.
Is a motorhome enough to explore Namibia?
For the most common route, yes: Swakopmund can be reached on tarmac, as can Etosha, and the road to Sossusvlei uses wide, well-maintained gravel roads to be driven without hurrying. The wild north-west, Khaudum or the Zambezi tracks, however, require a high-clearance 4x4.
What does each Discoverer cost in Namibia?
According to our October 2026 records, over 15 days, the average is around €145 a day for the Discoverer 4, €154 for the Discoverer 6 and €162 for the FunXA. Differences depending on the departure date reach around forty euros a day; the search gives the amount for your dates.

FAQ — Bobo Campers motorhome hire in Namibia
Can you reach Botswana via the Trans-Kalahari?
The B6, which runs past the depot, continues towards Gobabis and the Buitepos border post, the gateway to Botswana. As Bobo Campers has meeting points in Maun and Kasane, a trip between the two countries is feasible, but leaving the country and any one-way hire must be accepted in the offer.
How much is held as a deposit?
The offers recorded show an excess of €3,153. An amount is generally blocked on a credit card at departure: check your card limit before the trip, and read in the offer the options for reducing the excess, particularly for gravel-related damage.
Which season for a motorhome trip in Namibia?
From May to September, the weather is dry and wildlife gathers around the waterholes, but nights can approach freezing in the desert: check the blankets provided. From October to March, the heat rises and storms mainly affect the north, especially from January to March.
