Communication was perfect via WhatsApp and calls. 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. All the camping gear, seats, table gas cooker crockery. Really fantastic


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!

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.


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. Giovanni (2024)


We highly recommend this company!


The cars are in very good condition and fully equipped.
Safety is a major concern.
Melissa & Jacques were very very responsive, including at weekends, and even took care of our luggage problem.
We couldn't have chosen a better provider
I highly recommend.



Melissa and all of the team were a great help throughout and always on hand to offer kind assistance.
The car was great and didn't let us down once throughout all of the miles we covered!
We hope to see you again soon. Thank you.




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.

Many thanks for this excellent service

I recommend without any hesitation and thank you to the whole team and particularly to “Jack”!


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!

Car and accessories in top shape and the service was flawless.

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 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!

Responsive, available even on weekends, which is not the case with all agencies, beautiful cars and always at your service.

Tour operating: itinerary planning, booking of campsites, accommodation, activities, airport transfers!
Will definitely recommend and use them again!
Thank you




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



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.




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 🙂






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








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.

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 🙂


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!

(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.
No matter if driving through Namibia to South Africa like 2019 or 2021 camping in Botswana and to enjoy the beauty and people of Namibia again. The equipment and service are perfect!
We got completely addicted to camping (and Zambezi Car Rental) now! We will come back for sure!
Thanks so much Jacques for great service and amazing cars!
Petra & Robert from Austria
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.
Super friendly Staff and great introduction.
Thanks a lot!
Jeremy and Alexia
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!
Thank you very much. We will for sure return.
Cheers,
Barbara & Eric

Thanks for your support
Incredible service from start to finish from him. We highly recommend Zambezi Car rental.
Sonnett and Pieter Badenhorst
We had a great time and we would recommend to everyone to rent a 4x4 with Zambezi Car Rental to discover Namibia.

The car was in a perfect condition and really clean.
Would do it every time again!


Will come back soon!
Thanks again!
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!

Testimonials
Everything we needed for our self-drive in Namibia was there. Jacques helped with all the things we needed, car was in perfect condition, everything clean and on its place. We really liked it. It was excellent way to see Namibia on self-drive travel. We stayed in natural camping sites and it took 5 minutes to make a home for us, as everything was in car. Travelled for 10 days and were happy with car.
Extremely helpful and attentive throughout our trip! Cars are in very very good condition and really well equipped. Highly recommend 🙂
We had an amazing trip with Zambezi Car Rental. The car was very well equipped, super comfortable and Jacques was always available for upcoming questions. There was nothing missing and we had the perfect camping experience on our journey. Would recommend it any time.
