Bushlore Africa in Namibia: 4x4 camper from €115 a day

Q: Which Namibian town should you choose to collect your Bushlore Africa 4x4?

Windhoek is the cheapest and the most central for a classic loop. Swakopmund or Walvis Bay suit you if you are starting with the coast or the Namib. Katima Mulilo serves trips focused on the north-east, near the borders with Botswana and Zambia.

Q: How much will be held at departure?

The excess recorded in Namibia is close to €1,631 for all versions. A deposit is usually taken at pick-up; its exact amount and the options that reduce the excess are shown in the offer. Check your credit card limit before you leave.

The rental company

Bushlore Africa in Namibia: Windhoek first, the coast and the Zambezi as options

In Namibia, Bushlore Africa runs a depot in Windhoek, on Dr. Kuaima Riruako Street, and offers three other departure towns: Walvis Bay and Swakopmund, neighbours on the Atlantic coast, and Katima Mulilo, capital of the Zambezi Region, at the end of the former Caprivi Strip. In these three towns, the handover point is given at the time of booking.

The capital clearly stands out on price. On 21 October 2026, for fifteen-day hires starting between January and October 2027, CoolDrive recorded an average there of about €211 a day, compared with €254 in Walvis Bay, €256 in Swakopmund and €283 in Katima Mulilo. Entry-level prices follow the same order: €115 in Windhoek, €158 and €160 on the coast, €185 in the Zambezi Region.

The 160 Namibian offers in our records all include unlimited mileage, and the excess is around €1,631. All ten versions of the range are available, from the two-seat Hilux Camp, from €115 a day, to the automatic Land Cruiser 79 Bush Camper, from €208.

Our view: for the loop through the Namib dunes, Damaraland and Etosha, starting from Windhoek is the obvious choice for your budget, with a difference of around forty euros a day compared with the coast. Katima Mulilo becomes relevant for a trip combining the Zambezi, Chobe and the Okavango. Asco, Africa on Wheels and Caprivi, which have many departure points in the country, can be checked in the same search.

Our view

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

Bushlore Africa is ideal if…

You are arriving in Windhoek and doing a loop of Sossusvlei, Damaraland and Etosha
You are spending a few days in Swakopmund first before tackling the desert
You dream of Bwabwata, Nkasa Rupara and the banks of the Zambezi
You sleep in a tent and want a vehicle built for gravel

Bushlore Africa is not ideal if…

You are setting off from the coast on a tight budget: a day there costs around forty euros more
A shower and toilet on board seem essential to you

Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Bushlore Africa

Be ready for the cool coast

In Swakopmund and Walvis Bay, the cold Benguela Current brings morning fog and low temperatures, even when the interior of the country is sweltering. For a first night in the rooftop tent on the coast, keep a jumper and a warm sleeping bag close at hand.
In the Zambezi Region, keep an eye on the rainy season

Around Katima Mulilo, the rains from December to March swell the rivers: the tracks of Nkasa Rupara and some areas of Bwabwata can become impassable. The end of the dry season, from August to October, offers the best driving conditions.
Unfenced campsites: a few good habits

Along the Kwando and the Zambezi, many campsites are unfenced, and hippos and elephants alike wander through them at night. Store food in the vehicle, do not climb down from the tent without a torch and set up camp before dusk.
Let the first night go by

After a long-haul flight, a night in Windhoek before collecting the 4x4 lets you recover, do your shopping and listen to the vehicle briefing with a clear head. The depot is in town, whereas the international airport lies to the east, more than half an hour's drive away.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Bushlore Africa

Which Namibian town should you choose to collect your Bushlore Africa 4x4?

Windhoek is the cheapest and the most central for a classic loop. Swakopmund or Walvis Bay suit you if you are starting with the coast or the Namib. Katima Mulilo serves trips focused on the north-east, near the borders with Botswana and Zambia.

What budget should you plan in Namibia, depending on the model?

In our October 2026 records, all towns combined and for fifteen days, the two-seat Hilux Camp comes to around €206 a day, the Land Cruiser 79 Camp with the same capacity around €239, and the automatic Land Cruiser 79 Bush Camper around €307. Starting from Windhoek brings these amounts down.

Walvis Bay or Swakopmund: which costs less?

The difference is minimal: an average of €254 a day in Walvis Bay against €256 in Swakopmund, with minimums of €158 and €160. The two towns are only about thirty kilometres apart; Walvis Bay has the advantage of an airport served from Windhoek and South Africa.

Which version for four people in Namibia?

Four versions offer four berths in our records: the Hilux Camp 4 Pax, from €121 a day, the Hilux Bush Camper, from €161, then the Land Cruiser 79 Camp 4 Pax, from €164 with a manual gearbox or €181 as an automatic. In the Camp version, the double cab keeps five seats.

Everything was quick and quite simple. Just a small downside upon arrival, we waited a good amount of time before being taken care of.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Bushlore Africa 4x4 camper hire in Namibia

How does a Bushlore Africa booking in Namibia work on CoolDrive?

A search for Windhoek, the coast or Katima Mulilo shows Bushlore Africa 4x4s among those of the other Namibian rental companies, at the final price for your dates. Once the booking is confirmed, our experts contact the rental company to settle the handover time, and the place when it is a town with no listed depot.

How much will be held at departure?

The excess recorded in Namibia is close to €1,631 for all versions. A deposit is usually taken at pick-up; its exact amount and the options that reduce the excess are shown in the offer. Check your credit card limit before you leave.

Can you reach Botswana from Katima Mulilo?

The Ngoma border post, west of Kasane, links the Zambezi Region to Chobe National Park; the Wenela post opens onto Zambia. Crossing is only possible with the rental company's authorisation and the vehicle papers, and fees may apply; a road tax is also charged on entry to several neighbouring countries.

Can you start in Windhoek and finish on the coast?

A one-way hire to Walvis Bay or Swakopmund would save you driving back up to the capital at the end of your stay. It depends on the offers and often involves fees. To find out, search with a drop-off on the coast: only accepted combinations will be shown, surcharge included.
