Rental car tour in Namibia South-Southwest in great landscape- INTI Tours
Sample trip: Great self-drive tour in the south of Namibia
We have planned and carried out this example tour for customers in the same way. It is based on the wishes of our clients and represents a combination of different regions of Namibia. Partly private guided tours are planned, then again time at your own disposal with suggestions and with the rental car.
Such a sample trip should show you what is possible. And it should give suggestions. You are welcome to tell us your individual wishes and ideas - we will create your personal dream trip in our travel manufactory. Please feel free to call us or contact us.
And here it goes to the trip:
On this Namibia South & Southwest rental car tour, the focus is on dreamlike landscapes with many special wildlife sightings in Namibia. Experience the deep red dune Kalahari where lions, leopards, whistling rats, aardvarks and lots of antelopes can still be seen. Augrabies Falls is a scenic spectacle with giant granite spheres and deep stone gorges. Marvel at contrasting desert landscapes like Fishriver Canyon - second largest canyon on earth. On the southwest coast, experience the gigantic Bow Rock and remote colonial-era ghost towns.
An authentic farm visit with game drives to herds of giraffes, hikes in the Naukluft Mountains along crystal clear springs in the shade of ancient sycamores as well as the Sossusvlei with the highest dunes on earth will inspire you! Swakopmund as a romantic coastal town should serve with its charm as a recreational destination, but also here we show you the dolphins in the Atlantic Ocean and seals up close. Welcome to Namibia!

Itinerary
Windhoek & Gamedrive
You will probably have an evening flight from Europe and get off the plane early in Windhoek. Reception at the airport, vehicle handover with insurance logistics, handover of your vouchers, maps, route description and welcome package. You will immediately set off with your rental car into the Auas mountain landscape, where you will also spend your first night in Namibia in a high-quality lodge.

There is only one place in the world where you can see animals - including predatory cats - roaming between red dunes: right here! You will undertake various game drives in this unique and dreamlike area - always on the lookout for animals! You will stay in very high quality lodges in the deep Kalahari...
- Breakfast
- Dinner
Augrabies
Augrabies is called "the place of noise". And this is because of the roar of the waterfall and the cries of the Hagedasch storks. Feel a true sense of discovery... The spherical granite landscape is also varied and very impressive. Short walks and game drives reveal interesting flora as well as abundant klipsheps, klipspringers, lizards and quite a lot of other game. You will stay in mid-range bungalows - a restaurant is close by.
- Breakfast
Fishriver Canyon, east side
The Fishriver Canyon is absolutely stunning with its breathtakingly striking deposits, erosion valleys and impressive depth - both geologically and scenically. You will spend the night in a uniquely situated and high-quality lodge.
- Breakfast
- Dinner
Oranje & Half Man
Drive through fantastic gneiss landscapes in the winter rainfall area of the Karoo. The "half man" - the Pachypodium namaquanum - can be admired after a short climb. You will also discover the wild horses of the Namib. Enjoy your mid-range lodge in the middle of the southern rim close to many wild horses.
- Breakfast
- Dinner
Lüderitz, Sperrgebiet & Bogenfels
You reach the harbour town of Lüderitz. Sightseeing with information about the very interesting history of diamonds and the past German colonial era. You will also visit Kolmanskop and Pomona - the diamond ghost towns. A morning boat trip to Halifax Island takes you to see the rare spectacled penguins. And take an adventurous desert drive to the majestic Bow Rock. You will stay in a self-catering cottage beautifully situated right by the sea.
Leaflove Safari Private Farm and Nature Reserve
The old family farm is run by the 5th generation of the Voigts von Schütz family. Ecological principles with nature-friendly farming (hence the healthy food) and a genuine love for the rugged semi-desert nature are reflected in everyday life on this Namibian-typical farm. Visitors are pampered and entertained around the campfire and you can feel like a welcome guest. The early or late hours of the day are filled with game drives, walks and intensive nature observation and interesting conversations. Giraffes and antelopes show themselves in the red sandstone landscape through which the green vegetation strips of the dry rivers meander. Ornithologists find the bunting lark here, botanists the "baboon's shoe", geologists can collect limonite cubes and photographers let the sun set behind giraffes... Just enjoy yourself! Two nights at Leaflove Safari's Nomtsas Private Farm with exclusive visitor rights to Namibia's largest farm with extensive game reserve.
- Breakfast
- Lunch
- Dinner
Naukluft - Namibian fold mountains
Your next destination is a folded mountain range in Namibia, the Naukluft. It was one of the most interesting areas in Namibia for the famous geologist Hans Cloos (book tip: Conversation with the Earth). Rare bird and plant species, mountain zebras and kudus, paradisiacal moments at clear springs under fig trees await you. You will spend the night on a genuine Namibian farm with German Namibian owners on the edge of the Naukluft. A bow field tour concludes the day.
- Breakfast
- Dinner
Dunes, Sossusvlei & Gaub
Experience beautiful and varied landscapes amidst the Namib dunes of the Namib Rand Nature Reserve and ecologically sound game drives through fantastic dune valleys. Sossusvlei is surrounded by the highest dunes in the world. Opportunities for climbing with fantastic views. Visit the Sesriem Canyon. You will get to know remarkable landscapes at the granite massif of the Rotstock near the slate worlds of the Gaub Canyon. You will spend the night in a high-quality lodge. Your overnight stay allows you to use and enjoy your own entrance to the Namib Naukluft Park. This also ensures an early arrival before the main streams of visitors on a guided game drive into Sossusvlei. The game drives take place in open terrain jeeps with well-informed guides. And a sundowner drive into the erosion valleys of Ghaub Canyon are the icing on the cake of your desert experience.
Info: The dunes at Sossusvlei are now usually visited by a large stream of visitors. After all, the dunes are a unique and beautiful landscape highlight. With your choice of accommodation, a super beautiful dune experience in the Namib Rand dune world awaits you. The lodge uses its own park entrance and thus you also get to know the world-famous Sossusvlei unadulterated and before the influx of most visitors. The extra charge is worth it because of the individual dune experience, the high quality of accommodation, the super service and the ecological principles of this lodge.
- Breakfast
- Dinner

Important for this trip
Entry requirements as well as vaccination requirements:
Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your trip at the time of entry and still have at least two blank pages. It must be in perfect condition, i.e. neither damaged (e.g. torn, bent, "repaired" by yourself or even accidentally washed) nor illegible or difficult to read due to dirt.
In recent times, there have been individual cases of problems with the immigration authorities at the airport and at the borders by land, because the period of validity of entry visas has been arbitrarily determined.
Germans may enter the country without a visa for short-term stays of up to 90 days per year for exclusively tourist purposes. A toll-free entry stamp (Visitors Entry Permit) is issued upon arrival at all official border crossings.
No compulsory vaccinations are required for direct entry from Germany. In case of entry from a yellow fever area or stay of more than 12 hours in transit of a yellow fever area, all persons from the age of 9 months have to prove a yellow fever vaccination. Namibia itself is not a yellow fever area.
Make sure that you and your children are up to date with the standard vaccinations according to the vaccination calendar of the Robert Koch Institute. As travel vaccinations, vaccinations against hepatitis A are recommended, and also against hepatitis B, typhoid, rabies and meningococcal disease (ACWY) for long-term stays or special exposure.
Special situation Covid-19:
Please cover your travel payments insurance-wise if you are unable to travel due to a positive test result. Some clients test themselves a few days before departure already to have a little more assurance. We find this step helpful.
You can also get tested at the airport so you can enter the country with a fresh test result. Namibia requires an English negative result no older than 72 hours prior to entry.
