The rental company

Bobo Campers and its Discoverer range

Bobo Campers is a South African rental company that offers its own range of vehicles, called Discoverer. Its two depots are in Johannesburg, in Benoni, very close to OR Tambo Airport, and in Cape Town. In Durban, East London, Port Elizabeth and Nelspruit, there is no depot: the vehicle is handed over at a meeting point at the airport.

The fleet is split into two families. The Discoverer 4 motorhome, a low-profile, and the Discoverer 6, an overcab, accommodate four or six people for a comfortable road trip. The more compact FunX series and the Discoverer DC 4x4 are aimed at travellers who want to leave the tarmac, with two or four berths depending on the model.

In October 2026, CoolDrive observed three models: Discoverer 4, Discoverer 6 and FunXA. All include unlimited mileage, and the observed excess reaches €3,137, a high amount.

Our verdict: along with Maui, Bobo Campers is one of the two rental companies in our comparison to offer classic motorhomes in South Africa, and its airport handovers make arrival easier. Its weaknesses: a heavy excess, prices that climb in October and only two physical depots: give the vehicle a thorough inspection at handover.

Our view

Bobo Campers: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?

Bobo Campers is ideal if…

  • You prefer a real motorhome, with a kitchen and fixed beds, to a roof tent
  • You are travelling as a family of up to six, aboard the Discoverer 6
  • You are landing in Durban, Port Elizabeth, East London or Nelspruit and want to set off from the airport
  • You are arriving in Johannesburg and want to collect the vehicle near OR Tambo
  • Your tour is long: no mileage limit in our observations

Bobo Campers is not ideal if…

  • Your itinerary follows sandy tracks: a 4x4 from Bushlore Africa, Britz or Avis Safari Rental will suit you better than a large motorhome
  • An excess of more than €3,000 seems too heavy to you
  • You want to set off from Pretoria, Hoedspruit or Upington, where Bobo Campers has no departures
  • You insist on a depot with a counter in every departure city
  • You are travelling in October on a tight budget: it is the most expensive month in our observations for motorhomes
Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Bobo Campers

  1. Discoverer 4 or Discoverer 6

    For two, or a family with two children, the Discoverer 4 low-profile is easier to manoeuvre and park. The Discoverer 6, an overcab, adds a bed above the cab and becomes useful for five or six. In our observations, it costs only a few euros more per day.

  2. Prepare your arrival at the meeting point

    In Durban, East London, Port Elizabeth and Nelspruit, Bobo Campers has no office: a member of staff meets you at the airport. Note the agreed time and the contact number shown on your confirmation, and let them know if your flight is delayed.

  3. Play with the seasons

    For Discoverer motorhomes, October is the most expensive month in our observations, while July and January remain more affordable. July falls in the middle of the southern winter: cool nights inland, but a great season for safaris in the Kruger.

  4. Inspect the vehicle before setting off

    Some travellers have reported faulty equipment. On departure, test the fridge, gas, water and lighting, photograph the bodywork and have every defect noted on the departure document. In the event of a breakdown, call the assistance service before incurring any costs.

  5. Reduce the financial risk

    With an observed excess of €3,137, the slightest bump can be expensive. Ask our experts what options exist to reduce it, and check that your credit card can cover the security deposit required on departure.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Bobo Campers

How much does Bobo Campers hire cost in South Africa?

For a 15-day hire, our prices observed in October 2026 start at €123 per day, mandatory fees included, for a Discoverer 4 in July. Medians are around €167 to €170 for this low-profile in July and January, and €207 in October. The Discoverer 6 is around €175 to €220, the FunXA €172 to €220.

What is the difference between the Discoverer 4 and the Discoverer 6?

The Discoverer 4 is a more compact low-profile motorhome with four seats and four berths. The Discoverer 6 is an overcab that goes up to six seats and six berths, thanks to the bed installed above the cab. Both have automatic gearboxes and share the same unlimited mileage in our observations.

How do I collect a Bobo Campers motorhome in Durban or Port Elizabeth?

In these two cities, as in East London and Nelspruit, Bobo Campers has no physical depot. The vehicle is handed over to you at a meeting point at the airport, at the time set when booking. The precise instructions, location and contact, are in your confirmation: keep them to hand when you land.

Is mileage unlimited with Bobo Campers?

Yes, in the three Bobo Campers models observed by CoolDrive, the Discoverer 4, the Discoverer 6 and the FunXA, you can drive with no mileage limit. A real plus for linking Johannesburg and Cape Town via the Drakensberg and the coast, a tour of several thousand kilometres. Check the wording in the offer if you choose another model.

Does Bobo Campers also rent 4x4s?

Yes, alongside its motorhomes, Bobo Campers offers more compact models: the Discoverer DC 4x4 with a roof tent for four, the FunX2 4x4 for two, as well as the FunXA and the FunX Budget. Not all of them appear in our observations: run a search to see which are available for your dates.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Bobo Campers motorhome hire in South Africa

Why book Bobo Campers with CoolDrive?

On CoolDrive, Bobo Campers motorhomes are displayed alongside those of Maui and the 4x4s of Britz or Bushlore Africa, for your own dates. The amount shown includes mandatory fees, and each offer specifies the excess, mileage and handover location. Our experts help you choose between a motorhome and a 4x4 depending on your itinerary.

What is the excess with Bobo Campers?

The excess observed in October 2026 in Bobo Campers offers is €3,137, the same for all three models observed. This is a high amount, to bear in mind if you are worried about scratches or minor knocks. A security deposit is generally blocked on departure: its amount and the reduction options are shown in the offer.

Can I do a one-way hire with Bobo Campers?

With departures from Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Durban and Johannesburg, a trip without returning to the starting point would be ideal for the Garden Route. Enter a different return city in your search: offers that allow it are displayed with any surcharge. Otherwise, plan a loop from your arrival city.

What is on board a Bobo Campers motorhome?

The Discoverer 4 and 6 are designed for self-sufficient travel: kitchen area, fixed beds and, depending on the model, a washroom. The simpler FunX campers focus on the essentials. The exact list of equipment, crockery, bedding or camping furniture, is given in each offer: check it before packing.

Can I visit Kruger National Park in a motorhome?

Yes, the Kruger’s main roads are tarmacked and several of the park’s camps accept motorhomes. Setting off from Nelspruit puts you about an hour’s drive from the southern gates. Respect the park’s speed limits, book your pitches in advance and avoid narrow tracks with a large model such as the Discoverer 6.

Does Bobo Campers provide breakdown assistance?

The rental company advertises roadside assistance available 24 hours a day during the hire. The numbers to call are in the documents handed over on departure. In the event of a mechanical problem, contact the assistance service before any repair: costs incurred without approval may not be reimbursed. Our experts also remain available during your trip.
