A very bad experience with this rental agency. The tent provided was clearly unusable. On the very first night, water dripped onto us, and we spent the night in the dripping rain, with our belongings soaked. This type of equipment should never be offered for rent in this condition.
The most disappointing aspect was the agency's attitude after we reported the problem. Instead of listening and looking for a solution, they refused to acknowledge the issue and showed no understanding of the situation we were in. We felt that our experience and comfort were completely disregarded. Given the rental price, we would have appreciated some kind of compensation, which was refused.
I do not recommend this agency. The equipment was defective, and customer service was completely absent when a serious problem arose. A huge disappointment.

The car we hired was in perfect condition and ideal for travelling round the terrible roads that you come across. the service was excellent, very friendly and approachable. We were given good information beforehand on how to make the most of the car and lots of contact details in case anything went wrong which fortunately did not.

Good company. There are some minor nuances about the car, but overall I am very satisfied.

I rented a Toyota Fortuner from Savanna Car Hire in Namibia from April 30 to May 9, 2026, and paid for their highest level of insurance coverage.
Around noon on May 6, the AC failed while we were staying at Twyfelfontein Lodge. I reported the issue immediately by phone to Savanna’s reservation manager, who passed me to technical support. Instead of arranging a replacement vehicle, Savanna left me to coordinate with local mechanics and spend hours of my vacation managing repairs between the mechanic and their technical team. That cost me valuable vacation time, and I was late for a scheduled lodge activity.
The following morning, after yet another failed repair attempt, we had to drive about 400 km on dusty gravel roads with no AC and the windows open. Savanna arranged a replacement vehicle only after repeated complaints and a direct demand from me, and only at the next lodge that was just 3 hours away from Savanna office.
Mechanical problems can happen with any rental company. What is not acceptable is the way Savanna handled this situation:
• no proactive offer of a replacement vehicle,
• an unreasonable expectation that the customer would manage the repairs,
• putting cost savings ahead of the customer’s time, comfort, and needs,
• a disregard for their contractual obligations and their own reputation,
• defensive communication instead of taking responsibility and resolving the problem promptly
Future travelers to Namibia should take this experience into account when deciding whether to rent from this company.
The only reason I gave two stars instead of one is that, when I returned the vehicle, they at least provided us with a free ride to the airport.
The attached photos show the Savanna vehicle at a local mechanic’s shop and the dust that covered our luggage after we drove through the Namibian countryside with the windows open because the AC had stopped working.

From start to finish: a fantastic experience. They were very responsive to every email sent beforehand.
They offered an upgrade because the rental car was no longer available: we really appreciated the gesture!
Upon arrival, despite a delayed flight, we received a wonderful welcome from the team, who provided detailed explanations of how the vehicle worked for over an hour (thank you Toivo for your professionalism despite the late hour). The vehicle was incredibly efficient, powerful, practical, and superbly equipped! We lacked nothing and our stay went perfectly! A special mention goes to the aluminum cab tent, which was incredibly easy to set up each evening in less than 20 seconds (compared to other vehicles around us that took at least 5 minutes), and the solar panels, which were a real bonus for having fresh food and water throughout our stay!

If we could, we'd give 10 stars.
Perfect service. The initial briefing is excellent, everything is explained clearly, and there's a clear guide in case of a breakdown or police check. You feel very safe.
We had a Toyota Land Cruiser, which was in superb condition and very well-equipped.
Currently, we're traveling in Botswana with the vehicle mentioned above from another provider and are very disappointed. We miss our Savanna Camper terribly. It's lacking in every way.
We had a chip in the windshield of the Savanna and were able to contact someone immediately via WhatsApp.
The return process was also incredibly straightforward. The transfer to our next accommodation and the following morning to the airport were organized very reliably.
Absolutely recommended. I wouldn't choose any other provider.

Had a terrific experience with Savannah for our camping 4x4 holiday. The car and equipment were a dream, they had great phone support for customer and mechanical issues. Everything was very clean and great value. Sammy gave us a great walkthrough before we left to cover everything we needed to know about our car.
The only thing was that we had pre booked some equipment like the Sat phone and when we arrived they did not have any available.

Just dropped off the Ford Ranger we were using for our 2 weeks self driving trip around Namibia. Highly recommended! An excellent new car, robust equipment, non stop support from the office. See you again next year!

Our experience with Savana was absolutely perfect!
The vehicle was brand new, reliable and met all our expectations throughout the trip.
But what truly made the difference was the outstanding service — kind, professional and deeply caring, especially during an unexpected emergency near the end of our journey.
A heartfelt thank you to the amazing Savana team, especially Bianca and Rene – for your support, patience and warm attitude.
You turned a great trip into an unforgettable one! 🙏✨

We rented a Ford Ranger from Savanna Car Hire and couldn’t have been happier with our choice. The vehicle was modern, very comfortable, and perfectly equipped for all kinds of travel throughout Namibia – whether on paved roads or gravel tracks.
What really stood out was the excellent service. At the handover, Junias took plenty of time to explain everything to us, from how the vehicle works to the full camping setup. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and made us feel confident and well-prepared from the start.
Throughout the trip, support from Savanna was fast, helpful, and always friendly. We never felt like we were on our own – there was always someone there if we had a question.
The camping gear was fantastic – everything was thoughtfully provided and in great condition. We really only had to bring ourselves and our luggage.
Thanks to Savanna Car Hire, we were able to enjoy 16 unforgettable days exploring the beauty of Namibia. Highly recommended!

4x4 rental center for those who want to travel in Namibia off-road, immersed in nature.
Company very well equipped with off-road vehicles complete with roof tents and all camping material. Excellent prices!
