The distance from Northern Africa (Ras ben Sakka in Tunisia) to South Africa (Cape Agulhas) is some 8000 kilometers tip to tip, whilst its width is around 7400 kilometres. The shoreline is 26 000 kms long and the surface area comprises some 30 million square kilometers. Therefore, Africa is a huge piece of land! In truth Africa is the 2nd biggest continent after Asia. 4×4 hire Africa is an ideal method of seeing this continent. There are 62 political territories and fifty three independent countries in Africa and several different languages are voiced throughout the continent, but you may survive speaking English.
4×4 hire Africa can be arranged in many African countries, but South Africa continues to be a firm favourite to start and end an excursion, simply because of its excellent infra-structure and other features available to the traveler. From South Africa, areas to be visited could include Namibia, Zambia, Botswana, Tanzania, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Swaziland and Lesotho, although wanting at doing all of these in one go, would be a bit much.
An excellent 4×4 hire Africa route would be to start in Cape Town, South Africa, and travel up the West Coast visiting regions like the Richtersveld and the Kgalagadi Game Park. After that you will be entering Namibia and look at the Orange River Canyon, the Sossusvlei area, Windhoek (the main town of Namibia), Swakopmund (a regular German colonial town) Etosha game park, the Caprivi Strip after which you can enter southern Zambia. Here you could potentially visit some resorts on the Zambezi River and going to the Victoria Falls is important. You would then enter Botswana, where the Okavango delta near Maun and further east, the Chobe National Game Park could be seen. After that you would travel southwards toward Johannesburg and then east toward the Kruger National Park. Such a trip will keep you fully occupied for 5-6 weeks, probably covering almost five thousand kilometres and having observed and experienced enough to keep a very long time, or at least long enough, until your feet begin itching for the next 4×4 hire Africa.
4×4 hire Africa vehicles can be hired fully pre-loaded with all add-ons and a rooftop tent, that may illuminate the need for extensive resort or lodge accommodation. Many camping sites available cater well to tourists by providing ablution facilities, running water and electricity, and in many cases tuck shops if not eateries of some kind. There are some precautions to be taken on a 4×4 hire Africa trip, like the taking of malaria prophylactics and yellow fever shots. Other than that, and making sure to obey customs and excise rules, as well as road rules, travelling in Southern Africa is not complicated. English is widely spoken in Southern Africa, including most outlying areas you are bound to visit.
4×4 hire Arica will definitely provide you an experience of people, the bush, animals, food and tales to satisfy your wanderlust for a long time – why not give it a try?
