The rental company

Livingstone, the Zambian gateway for Britz 4x4s

In Zambia, Britz has only one departure point: Livingstone, a town in the south of the country built above the Zambezi, about ten kilometres from Victoria Falls. Where the 4x4 is handed over to you, whether at a depot, by delivery or by appointment, is given at the time of booking. The brand, its rooftop tent range and its services are presented on its main page.

Two main routes open up from the town. To the north-west, Kafue National Park, the largest in the country, has a string of riverside campsites and tracks where four-wheel drive really comes into its own. To the south-west, the Kazungula Bridge, opened in 2021, spans the river towards Kasane and Chobe National Park in Botswana, where Britz also rents vehicles. CoolDrive has not yet recorded any Britz prices or models in Zambia: the vehicle, the mileage included and the excess are revealed offer by offer.

Our view: Livingstone makes a good entry point for combining the falls, Chobe and Kafue while sleeping in a tent, provided that leaving for Botswana is agreed in advance with the rental company. The downside: with no known local rate, comparison can only be made on your dates, and the rainy season closes some of the tracks in Zambia's parks.

Our view

Britz: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?

Britz is ideal if…

  • You are landing in Livingstone and want to sleep in the tent from the very first night
  • Your tour links Victoria Falls, Chobe and perhaps the Okavango Delta
  • Campsites on the banks of the Kafue River appeal to you more than lodges

Britz is not ideal if…

  • You are travelling in the height of the rainy season with a programme focused on park tracks
Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Britz

  1. Stock up in Livingstone

    Once you leave the town, supermarkets become scarce and filling stations are further apart, especially on the road to Kafue. Fill up, load drinking water for several days and top up your supplies before leaving Livingstone: inside the parks, there is almost nothing to be found.

  2. Cross the Zambezi at Kazungula

    The Kazungula Bridge has replaced the old ferry and brings both countries' formalities together at a shared border post. With a hire 4x4, the crossing is only possible with written authorisation from Britz and the vehicle documents it provides. Ask for them when you book, not the day before you leave.

  3. Protect yourself from tsetse flies in Kafue

    Some wooded areas of Kafue are home to tsetse flies, whose bite is painful. They are attracted to dark colours, blue and black in particular: wear light-coloured clothes, keep the windows closed in infested areas and take an effective repellent.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Britz

Where do you collect a Britz 4x4 in Zambia?

In Livingstone, the only Zambian town served by Britz. We do not have a depot address in the town: the place and time of pick-up are set at the time of booking, and our experts then help you organise the handover.

Can you return the 4x4 in Botswana or Zimbabwe?

Britz also rents in Kasane, on the other side of the Kazungula Bridge, and in Victoria Falls, on the Zimbabwean side. A one-way hire between two countries does, however, depend on the offer and generally involves fees. To find out, enter Kasane or Victoria Falls as your drop-off town: only offers that accept this return will be shown, cost included.

How much does a Britz 4x4 from Livingstone cost?

No Britz price has been recorded in Zambia yet, and we prefer not to extrapolate from neighbouring countries. The amount depends on the version, the length of hire and above all the season, the dry period being the most in demand. For your dates, the CoolDrive search shows a final price that includes mandatory fees.

First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations. No complaints. Great!

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Britz 4x4 camper hire in Zambia

When should you go to Zambia with a rooftop tent 4x4?

The dry season, from May to October, is the best time for camping and wildlife watching; nights in June and July are cool in the tent, and October is very hot. The rains, from around November to April, make many tracks slippery and close some areas of Kafue.

What papers should you take to drive in Zambia?

Your passport, your national driving licence and, recommended, an international driving permit, useful at checks. Add the main driver's credit card and the booking confirmation. The minimum age and length of time holding a licence required by Britz are shown in the offer: read them again before paying.

How does a Britz booking in Zambia work on CoolDrive?

You run a search from Livingstone: Britz offers appear alongside those of the other rental companies present in Zambia, such as Bushlore Africa or Avis Safari Rental, each with its all-inclusive price, excess and mileage. Once the 4x4 is booked, our experts help you arrange the handover and prepare for any border crossing.
