We had Nissan Navara for 26 days with two roof top tents. Car worked very well and we had no problems with it. Also tents were good and pretty easy to put together. Staff in Zambesi are super friendly and helpful and relaxed about stuff. They said they have a good network of repair and help in case of trouble but luckily we didn't need any of that. They always replied our questions fast and gave us good tips. Can highly recommend this company! Thank you for very special trip in amazing Namibia!

The truck was in incredible condition. Great tyres. Very clean and comfortable.All the accessories made the journey easier.The roof tents are amazing, the large fridge in the back is great to have.

This was our first trip to Africa, and we spent a lot of time researching car rental companies, knowing how essential a reliable vehicle would be for our nearly two-week road trip. After exploring many options in Windhoek, we chose Zambezi Car Rental based on its outstanding reviews—and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made in the trip.The Zambezi team is exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive. From the moment we were picked up at the airport and taken to their office, we felt well taken care of. Jacques took the time to give us a detailed two-hour briefing on the car, the tent setup, and all the camping equipment, ensuring we were fully prepared. Throughout our trip, he remained readily available, quickly assisting us with any questions. The car was in good condition, and thankfully, we had no major issues during the journey. Returning the car in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, was also a seamless and efficient process.A special mention goes to Melissa, who handled most of the customer communications. Her friendliness and support went above and beyond; even before we arrived, she shared invaluable advice about the country and even offered help with my visa issue. Thanks to her warmth and kindness, I felt a connection to Namibia even before setting foot there. Although we couldn’t meet her in person when we arrived, we were fortunate to connect before heading back home, forming a genuine friendship. We sincerely hope to cross paths again in the future :)If we return to Namibia, Zambezi Car Rental will undoubtedly be our choice again. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to rent a car in Windhoek. Their exceptional service truly made our adventure unforgettable.Thank you for the great experience!

We have nothing but good things to say about Zambezi Car Rental. Melissa and Jacques are super friendly and took great care of us. The car (Isuzu DMAX) is a cool car and has never let us down. A good car is highly recommended for the difficult roads you encounter in Namibia. Thank you for everything ❤️

Rented an Isuzu Dmax from Zambezi Car Rental for about 3 weeks while driving through Namibia, and it was a great experience. The car handled perfectly, no issues at all on gravel, salt roads, or sand. The double fuel tank was a huge plus. Melissa was super attentive, communicating with us a lot before we even arrived, and they provided airport pickup and drop-off, which was really convenient. Their location in Windhoek, right on the road to the airport, made things easy. Jacques, who runs the operation and founded the company, was always available for any questions during the rental. They realign and service the trucks after every rental, so it felt like driving a brand-new vehicle. Overall, superb experience!

We rented a vehicle from Zambezi Car Rental for a 15-day road trip in Namibia. We wanted to highlight the professionalism of its team, the cleanliness and reliability of the vehicle provided. Jacques took the time to explain to us how the camping equipment works. We therefore left calmly for our journey. Melissa was a great help with the preliminary arrangements for our trip. We would like to thank you and can only recommend this company for your adventure in Namibia.Juliette and William

We rented the Nissan Navara car with Zambezi equipped with 2 roof tents and camping materials (dishes, gas bottle, pots, pillows etc...) and had a great time.The car has never given us any problems (despite the many kilometers traveled on sand and dirt roads) and the material supplied is of high quality.They also provided us with transfers to/from the airport and were punctual and very patient.

Jacques was very friendly and thorough when explaining all the features of the vehicle. He took the time to show us how to jack up the car in case of a flat and kept in touch with us as needed. The vehicle was clean, in great condition and performed well. I’d highly recommend!

I strongly recommend this rental company. When arriving at the airport, we were picked up by Melissa and taken to their car parking,where we received a very thorough explanation of all the car features and how to deal with potential problems. The car was perfect and contributed to a smooth trip with no issues. Their WhatsApp service is also great in case problems arise during the trip (albeit we had none in our case). Highly recommended.

Everything was perfect: the rental went very well. We had a clear and exhaustive presentation of the operation of the vehicle and all its equipment. The vehicle was recent and of very good quality. The owner was particularly available on WhatsApp to chat before and during the rental to ensure that our trip went as smoothly as possible. He was a great help to us during the trip, following a lost baggage at the airport, with great kindness. Thanks for everything!We highly recommend this company!

I recently had the pleasure of renting a 4x4 vehicle from Zambezi Car Rental, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the moment I inquired about their services, the team displayed outstanding professionalism and a genuine eagerness to help.The vehicle itself was in excellent condition, reflecting the company's commitment to providing high-quality cars. It was clean, well-maintained, and performed exceptionally well on various terrains. Whether navigating through rugged landscapes or cruising on smooth highways, the 4x4 handled everything with ease.What truly set this rental service apart was the perfect camping equipment provided. Everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable camping trip was included, from sturdy tents to cooking gear and portable chairs. The equipment was in pristine condition, and it was evident that careful thought had gone into selecting each item.The people at Zambezi were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They took the time to give us a thorough explanation of how to use the car and the camping gear. Their detailed guidance ensured we felt confident and well-prepared for our adventure.In summary, Zambezi Car Rental offers an exceptional 4x4 car rental service. With top-notch vehicles, comprehensive camping equipment, and a team that goes above and beyond, they made our trip unforgettable. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable rental experience.

Excellent experience with our ISUZU rooftop tent. The vehicle was in perfect condition, the camping equipment was very complete (the only thing missing was a colander for the pasta :-)) and the service was very attentive during the presentation of the vehicle and during our 15-day stay where we had need support to recharge the secondary battery of the fridge which does not recharge when the vehicle is running. Camps with 220V compulsory, otherwise autonomy of around 5 evenings/nights.I recommend without any hesitation and thank you to the whole team and particularly to “Jack”!

We recently used Zambezi Car Rental for our adventure around Namibia, and we couldn't be happier with the service. As two girls with limited car knowledge, we were a bit nervous, but the team at Zambezi made sure everything was thoroughly explained before we left. This really boosted our confidence.One thing we loved was their 24-hour customer service. Even though we had no issues on our trip, it was reassuring to know that help was available anytime if we needed it.A special shoutout to Melissa, who was fantastic from the moment we booked. She was so helpful, even offering advice for planning our next trip.If you're looking for a professional, friendly, and high-quality car rental service, Zambezi is definitely the way to go. Highly recommended!

10/10. Would drive Zambezi car again!Couldn't have picked a better car rental company for our first self-drive adventure in Africa!Planning everything, getting to Namibia, driving and chaning camps every day or two can be challenging and often a bit stressful. I can't describe my happiness and relief seeing Zambezi Car engaging with such professionalism, and yet in very comforting way.End-to-end quality of rental process is amazing.Then you have:-> Nice selection of new cars in good prices,->Connect and great contact prior and throughout the rental,-> "Airport-Car park-Airport" transfers included,-> Nice intro to car and tent handling [kudos to Jacques for explaining everything and live demo:) ]-> Smooth, fast and clear return process,For our first self-drive adventure we picked 4x4 Navarra with 1 rooftop tent, and it was the best car for the job.It's a top choice for gravel roads, and did great in 4x4 while getting to Deadvlei (I highly recommend getting there yourself, especially for someone who never tried 4x4 🙂 it's turbo easy and fun:) )Thanks Team!Hope to do business together again soon!

We were met with our transfer at the airport without any hassle. Jacques and the team were very welcoming. We spent time going through the vehicle and also the camping gear. I had a lot of questions regarding the exclusions on the insurance, and Jacques answered all the questions and put us at ease. Very happy with the vehicle and the services, and we had a great time exploring the beautiful Namibia. Would definitely recommend Zambezi for your 4x4 rental in Namibia.

Just perfect !We rented a 4x4 for 3 weeks, with a tent on the roof. The vehicle was perfect, with great tires which allowed us to have peace of mind throughout, and we had everything we needed. The roof tent, the pillows, the duvets, everything was very clean. In terms of equipment, we lacked nothing: chairs, tables, kitchen accessories, sockets, cooler, etc.And what I also want to highlight: the service, communication and kindness of those who run the agency.Before the trip, you can ask them all the questions you want. And during the stay, we had a few small unforeseen incidents with the car, and each time, they were very responsive and very understanding. I broke, through my fault, the cable of the fridge, and they repaired it, and didn't ask me anything.Honestly, we couldn't have hoped for better! Thank you very much Zambezi, Melissa and Jaques!

We had a wonderful time in Namibia - and #Zambesi Car Rental played a major part in our 7 day adventure. From the very first moment, the service was superb: we received our almost brand new Isuzu double cab "bakkie" (automatic) in an excellent condition, it was a dream to drive and extremely comfortable. The staff at #Zambesi Car Rental went out of their way to ensure our holiday would be unforgettable. The offroad part of our trip near Omaruru was pure bliss – even for someone like me who has never before attempted 4x4 driving. The bakkie handles like a car and especially the reverse aid on a big screen is a huge help. The Isuzu is powerful and traversed muddy roads, sandy dry river beds and nasty gravel roads (for example to the Lunar Landscape near Swakopmund) with the same ease it did tarred roads. I can highly recommend #Zambesi Car Rental – they will without any doubt be my company of choice on my next trip to lovely Namibia. And I loved the quirky idea of a map on the bonnet – even without cellphone reception you could never get lost! 😉

From start to finish a professional company with competent staff. We did a rental starting in Namibia and finishing in Victoria Falls. It was an ambitious journey and Zambezi Car rental made it seamless. Even when we had an issue at one of the border crossings, the team worked to get us what we needed to cross. Any equipment you might need on your trip they also had -- we were able to rent car seats for our kids and sand tracks just in case some of the sandy stretches got bad. They were very knowledgeable about the roads / conditions, and gave fantastic recommendations. Recommend them without reserve.

We are very happy that we chose for Zambezi Car Rental for our trip to Namibia. We received a very clean and fully equipped car with a very comfortable roof top tent, that you can set up in just a few minutes. As soon as we arrived, we felt very welcome and we got a complete briefing about the car, including some very practical tips. Also during our trip the communication went very smoothly! They do not just rent out a car, but a full service and they really care about you as their customer. We couldn’t have asked for a better rental car and company! Thank you so much for making our trip as perfect as it was!

We were absolutely blown away by these folks—a genuine 5-star extravaganza! Right from our initial interaction, it was clear we were in for an outstanding experience. Their communication and responsiveness were top-notch, handling every request with ease. The vehicle itself was a masterpiece—brand new, sparkling both inside and out. We were equipped with everything we needed and some handy extras that saved the day.They didn't just hand us the keys; they provided an emergency number for any unexpected bumps in the road. This lifeline came to the rescue when our jet-lagged brains missed some points during the thorough handover.As a fellow campervan rental business owner in Scotland, I can only hope to match this level of dedication to my customers. I did my due diligence, and shopped around, but here's the scoop: if these guys have availability, hit that book button pronto. Trust me; it's a decision you won't regret!A special mention to Jaque, the man was spot on with everything.Cheers

The team at Zambezi Car Rental exceeded expectations at every stage of our 16 day Namibian adventure. They engaged with us in an informative and highly responsive manner via email and WhatsApp when we were researching alternatives. As our travel date approached, they reached out proactively to explain and confirm details. When we landed, the team met us in the arrivals area and drove us into Windhoek to pick up our excellent 4x4. they patiently explained all the features and emergency resources deployed on our behalf—including 24 hr emergency hot line support. the vehicle performed superbly across a wide variety of terrain. On our last day, they drove us back to the airport. highly recommended

We rented a Nissan Navara with camping for 2 weeks, January '24. Outstanding experience. Excellent communication at all times, addressed all our questions, especially prior to our trip to arrange airport transport and all details for the rental. At arrival, Jacques gave a very comprehensive, detailed guidance on the vehicle features, driving, tent set up, tire change, and car equipment function. And it is a lot of info because these cars are stocked with everything you need. Seriously, you have everything you need to stop and camp. You just need food and drinks. During our trip, we had no issues and the team was always responsive when we contacted. The tents were large enough, we were 3 people. And, may be personal preference, but the most comfortable tent I have slept in. I totally recommend the Zambezi team for your car rental needs and we will definitely use them next time we visit Namibia.

I went camping in Namibia for the first time in my life, and it went well thanks to the Zambezi. The tent is nice (spacious enough for two people), there are enough basic tools, and there were no flat tires. Above all, it was nice that when they lent me the car, they kindly explained the car for about an hour. There are many four-wheeler companies in Namibia, but I think I will choose the Zambezi next time.. Very friendly.If you can afford it, bring another gas bottle. It was a hassle to light a fire.Best 4x4 rental company in Namibia..definitely I will choose zambezi again when I come back here.

Superb experience from start to finish, it couldn’t have gone smoother. The team were on hand at all times to answer any questions I had. The vehicle was perfect for our 3000+km journey across the country. Can’t recommend highly enough! Special shout out to Melissa - she was amazing!

We rented a Nissan Navara (without camping) for 9 days in July 2023 and had a great experience! The team at Zambezi were always quick to answer any questions we had leading up to the trip, and were nothing but accommodating while we were there. We had a pick up at the airport, even after our flights were delayed. We had no issues with the truck throughout our trip, no flat tires, but were well equipped if something did happen. The little vents on the back cab were a game changer as we saw so many vehicles that were covered in sand, we even had people comment on how clean the back was. We would use Zambezi again if we find ourselves in Namibia again!

Very professional, friendly and helpful. The car was very clean and had all what we needed. They arranged pick up and drop off from the airport and even got us a gift for renting the car more than 15 days.Upon arrival, you will receive a two-hour tutorial on how to set up the tents, change the spare tyre, and other things.We were 2 couples with 2 tents above the car, it was enough space for the 4 of us and you will have no trouble fitting all the luggage in the back of the car if you are good at tetris 🙂

Our experience with Zambezi Car Rental was perfect from start to finish! Very well received when handing over the vehicle. We received good, very complete explanations. The vehicle and all the equipment were impeccable, everything was thought of so that we didn't miss anything. Our Isuzu DMAX was very recent and very comfortable, a significant point for the 4000 km traveled in 2 weeks! Go there with your eyes closed!

Just hired a car through Zambezi car rental as was so glad we did. The service was brilliant and very personal and they were so responsive. We even emailed them our route before we left the uk as we were intending to visit quite a few places and wanted to make sure it was achievable and they kindly looked at it for us and reassured us it was ok.The car was great and did us proud. The roads can be challenging in places and we were pleased and relieved we had such a good and reliable car.Can highly, highly recommend. Thanks to everyone at Zambezi car rental. Shaun

Selecting a car rental for a holiday, especially on a road trip where reliability is crucial, can be stressful. However, Zamezi Car Rental made our experience truly amazing. The car we rented was in impeccable condition, and it was evident that they paid meticulous attention to the maintenance and upkeep of their entire fleet. What's more, the Zamezi team (Jacque) was available 24/7 via WhatsApp, ready to address any concerns or issues (though, thankfully, we had none!). There's no need to waste your time looking elsewhere – Zamezi Car Rental is the way to go! Molly & Cam

Highly recommending. Jacques was great. He spent time with our family and thoroughly explained everything about the car, tire change, etc. He was available anytime whenever we had questions. The car was in great condition, fully equipped with all one may need on a self drive trip. Drove a bit over 5k km and we didn't have any issues with the car. We absolutely loved it and are going to repeat in a few years and visit areas where we haven't been on this trip. As a female, driving for the first time in Africa for almost a month with two kids with no driver's license, I was a bit sceptical at first, but it was truly an amazing and very memorable experience for us all. We love self-driving with Zambezi Car rental. Thank you so much!! I can't wait for my next trip to Namibia!

I had a bad experience with this company. On April 2023 we took 4 cars for the tour. one of them had a tire burst 40 minutes after leaving the airport. the spare wheel was a different size!When a clients complained about this, worker told that the size for riding does not matter. I convinced him to change a tire, Then, after a time it have happened .A few days later the second car started smoking and the engine overheated. We wanted to solve the problem quickly and I found a mechanic in Garage near Uis.We wanted to sort the problem independently by paying for repairs ourselves , but we were categorically forbidden to do this, ordering us to wait for a mechanic.As a result, desert, no connection, a family with small children stood on a dusty road in an extremely hot conditions for 3 hours under the scorching sun.Zambezi’s car rental mechanic arrived 1 hour later with a bad car, without any tools, just to find out what was wrong.He used everything inclusive a car from mechanic I found in garage first 20 min after an accident had happened. What the reason to endanger people in the heat I still don’t understand.Then we continued a trip without that car, and we got it a day later.the remaining car which left Uis earlier also had a burst tire, and the spare was a different size. On any complaints Jaque told me that they are the best company in a world and it’s our fault, but not their.But to put a sign on a board that you are the best and to move as a best - two different stories.Resume: Very inadequate service. I do not recommend this company. I also had a 2 orders with this company from long ago for another months, I asked to improve the service so that there were no problems, but they sent me a letter on Friday night saying that my orders were canceled a few days before the tour in a high season. Please be careful with this company.?? You never win with them.* On a picture is mechanic from Zambezi car rental in Uis which arrived on a strange car without any equipment; wheel which were crashed after 40 min driving on a tyre road.

I would like to thank Zambezi Car Rental for the wonderful experience that we had during our 7 day trip around Namibia. Claudie was super helpful and made the booking process very smooth and the way Jacques explained everything when handing over the car was absolutely amazing!We rented an Isuzu D-Max with camping equipment - the car and all of the equipment were brand new, the car was equipped with everything that you could possibly need in such a journey and was really comfortable to drive in on the gravel roads + we easily made it through the sands on the way to Sossusvlei.We additionally rented a satellite navigator from Zambezi - was extremely helpful as some parts of the country aren’t covered by the local mobile operator.I highly recommend Zambezi and will definitely rent a car with them again when we come back for a longer trip 🙂

Probably the best 4x4 rental in the whole Africa! The cars and equipment is 5+ and Jacques is super helpful! You can see his passion! We rented for 2weeks and drove about 6000 km’s and no problems whatsoever. Tires were basically new and vehicles are serviced all the time!

We must confirm all reviews written before. It is not only car rental, it's a great service during your whole holiday. It starts with very detailed instruction to the car and it's equipment and continues with many tips how to enjoy Namibia in its beauty. We rented a car in many countries (international and also local companies) but Zambezi Car Rental was absolutely the best. 5 star ranking here is very well deserved. Thank you very much Jacques.

I don't know how to start because there were too many things I liked.It was my best experience ever in rental car and I've travelled a lot on all continents. To be fair to rent a car is always a problem for me because for many times it occurs unpredictable problems: the driving license should be international, the credit card is not good, the car has some small (invisible) damages while drop off, etc.I should start with beginning, before to book the car when Jacques was very professional and very kind and he answered to all my questions and there were really a lot as it was my first trip in Namibia and also in Africa. He had a lot of patience and after dozens of emails and messages I made the reservation.When I arrived in Windhoek a car was waiting for me in the airport. The check in was very easy and with a lot of useful information. The car was sparkling clean and everything was as I already settled.We didn't have any problem in the whole trip, except in the end of the holiday when we forgot to turn off the lights and the battery has gone. I send am email and the Oliver replied in 1 minute. The car is equiped with everything you can need and the problem was solved in 10 minutes.The drop off was quick and smothly, Jacques came at our accommodation in Windhoek to get the car and also he helped me with the airport transfer when going home.I don't have enough words to recommend Zambezi Car Rental. For me when travelling in Namibia everyone should rent the car from Zambezi.Thank you Jacques, Oliver and the rest of the team!Vlad, Alex, Traian and AncaRomania

Zambezi Car Rental and Jacques were fantastic! I highly recommend renting from Zambezi! My husband and I rented 4x4 truck (without camper) for a 17-day trip around Namibia and the vehicle was in excellent condition. Communication with Zambezi before the trip was easy and so was pick up despite our flight being 2 hours late into Windhoek. Drop off was also a breeze. Jacques took the time to explain everything we needed to know about the vehicle and gave us driving tips. We didn’t ask for a cooler beforehand but he gave us a cooler he had with him (without charging us for the use of it). We would gladly rent from Zambezi again!(We rented in May/June 2021 but my review is super late. Sorry Jacques!)Side note: Getting gas took a lot longer than we were used to in the United States. A LOT LONGER. The gas seemed to dribble out, and the attendants were the ones controlling the pumps. I think at one stop it took a full 25-30 minutes from the time we pulled up until the time we left. Tanking up in Windhoek was the fastest spot. Also be sure you know where the gas stations are located before you get too far in the remote wilderness before tanking up. We had a paper map that showed all the gas stations in the country and it was very helpful.

Jacques was very responsive and provided great service! We had all the camping equipment needed and the car was great and even the mattress in the rooftop tent was very comfortable! I would definitely use Zambezi car rental again and would recommend it to others. Thank you Jacques!

We rented a lot of cars during holidays. But never had a good service and car like this before! Super friendly owner, very helpful. Answers really fast by whatsapp. Car was perfect and camping set complete. Everything was super clean when we picked it up. Takes enough time for instructions. Also good price in comparison with other companies we contacted.

Jacques was very helpful answering all our questions before we actually booked.When we arrived in Windhoek he called with our guesthouse and arranged to drop off the car at the guesthouse the next morning. 10/10 for flexibility.The car itself was everything we wished for and in perfect shape. The camping equipment had everything we needed for a 14 day tour through Namibië.Jacques was flexible at the end to come pick up the car at the guesthouse and wish a pleasant flight back.

Incredible service by Jacques and team. The value for money could not be better: The car along with all camping gear was given to us in great condition and was of very high quality, Jacques took time to go over every details we needed to know before heading out on our trip, and he answered the few questions we had during our trip super fast. Extremely satisfied. For your trip to Namibia, look no further than Zambezi Car Rental. Simply great.

We had a wonderful time in Namibia thanks to Zambezi Car rental. Jacques was very helpful for everything, he gave us a lot of good advices. The 4X4 we rented was in a perfect condition, nothing bad happened to us in 4 weeks. The camping equipment was perfect also. We had a very good communication with Jacques, nothing bad to say at all. You can rent a vehicule with Zambezi with trust. Its a very very good company and if we come back one day in Namibia we will work again with Zambezi. Jacques really helped us and made our trip very safe. Thank you again and I recommend it +++ !!!

I booked a 3 weeks rental with Jacques. Email communication was easy before arrival to Namibia, and while in Namibia, we used whatsapp. I received a relatively new, very clean, and well maintained vehicle with only 40,000 kilometers on it. Most importantly, it has excellent tires. Jacques brought the vehicle to Windhoek airport, spent about two hours going over the vehicle and what to do if encountering mishaps, ensured the tire pressure was optimal, before I went on my merry way. The ride was smooth throughout, and I had really enjoyed driving it. Drop off was also easy and fuss-free. I hope to be able to return to Namibia again to explore the rest of the country, and when I do, I will contact Jacques again!

Had an amazing trip with Zambezi Car Rental. We opted for a 4x4 with a rooftop tent and we absolutely loved it. The car was great, the tent was easy to set up and we received a very insightful briefing by the owner Jacques. Everything we needed was included in the rental. The only things we had to think of was doing groceries and refueling from time to time. All in all, we highly recommend anyone to book your Namibian rental with Zambezi!

It was great experience in Namibia for 3 weeks. The travel with the 4x4 of Zambezi was reliable and exciting at every moment. Special thanks to Jacques, supported the travel nicely and always gave me prompt feedbacks. If someone plans to go Namibia as I did, I strongly recommend Zambezi Car Rental. Don’t miss beautiful things in Namibia.

After the friendly welcome at the airport by a Zambezi employee, Jacques was personally greeted at the rental station. It is immediately noticeable that the work here is not only professional, but also with heart. This is how the instruction in the vehicle took place. Everything was explained in detail, plus tips were given for driving on difficult routes.The still quite new vehicle was in perfect condition, very well cleaned and equipped with four brand new tires and two spare tires. There is also a fridge in which food can also be frozen. I was pleasantly surprised by the fuel usage, which was below the information in the vehicle description.On my round trip with 6,600 kilometers I had absolutely no problems. And if so, Jacques is available for his customers 24 hours a day. With this certainty and the well-maintained vehicle, I felt safe on any terrain.The transfer to the airport took place very punctually and the farewell was warm. You first come to Zambezi Car Rental as a customer, but then leave as a friend. I've already booked a vehicle with Jacques again for September and I'm looking forward to seeing him again.Great price-performance ratio, reliability, friendliness - therefore 100% recommendation!

We have rented 3 4x4 vehicles from Zambezi for 2 weeks - we were very satisfied! Customer Service was incredible as the owner is reachable 24/7! The vehicles were in good shape and all necessary gear for camping was available. We can recommend Zambezi 100% - once we come back we surely would rent again with them.

We rented our 4x4 with all our camping equipment and our roof tent with Zambezi Car Rental for 2 weeks. We were in communication with the owner during the whole trip, always answering questions and available. He was very professional and stayed 1 HOUR with us when he gave us the car. The tires were new and we never had any issue. If you stay in Namibia and wish to rent a car, I highly recommend you to book with Zambezi.

We chose to book with Zambezi thanks to the great reviews and low prices. And we are so glad we did! Jacques is an absolute legend and got us picked up at the airport, explained everything there is to know about the car and we drove 2500km in 2 weeks with the Nisan 300 4x4 which was in pristine conditions (as new!). No flat tires even though the car comes with 2 spare ones. He was available on WhatsApp at all times and even came in person to pick up the car at our last lodge near the airport. All the communication and paperwork was transparent and easy. I wish every car rental was so smooth 🙂 Can’t recommend more!

Everything was perfect right from the start, when Jaques delivered the car to us at the airport, showed us how everything works and also helped us getting our local sim cards. We spent around 6 weeks traveling in Namibia and we never had any issues with the car (Nissan NP300 Double Cap) and no flat tire either. Whenever we had a question Jaques was available on WhatsApp and most of the time replied instantly! We recommend Zambezi Car Rental to everyone and hope to come back one day!!!

I have just come back from an incredible 12 day road trip with Zambezi Car Rental, driving through Botswana and Namibia. I can not recommend Jacques and his team enough if you are wanting an effortless, informative and friendly service (with 24/7 contact)! All the vehicles are spotless, and in excellent condition, like brand new!The rooftop tent is super easy to set up, and having a full working fridge/freezer and all the necessary amenities too is a great addition!I loved every minute of my trip and didn’t have any problems at all whilst on the road, which is made for a smooth trip!Whenever I come back I will without a doubt use Zambezi again!Thank you for everything Jacques!
