Product Description
Our Edition 3 of our Namibia Self-Drive Guide Book is finally here! Completely revised and updated!
Real Travel, Real Experiences
Unlike many travel guides written from one person’s perspective, Tracks4Africa guidebooks draw on the shared knowledge of an entire community of adventurers. Moreover, the T4A community explores Africa extensively—not in luxury buses, but on their own wheels. Whether they journey solo or travel in groups, they move by motorbike, sedan, or 4WD. Consequently, these guides serve as the perfect resource for self-drive travellers who want authentic, road-tested advice.
The Essentials for Every Self-Drive Traveller
On the road, you need practical answers fast. That’s why the guide covers the five essentials:
- Where to sleep
- Where to refuel
- What to see and do
- Where to buy supplies
- Where to go in case of emergency
With the Tracks4Africa Namibia Self-Drive Guide Book, you can prepare with confidence and enjoy the unspoilt beauty of Africa.

What’s New in the Third Edition?
Building on the success of the first two editions, the third edition adds updated content and exciting extras. Now in A4 format, the Namibia Self-Drive Guide Book includes an atlas section with detailed 1:1 million country maps, sourced from the popular Tracks4Africa Southern Africa Atlas.
Trip Planning Made Easy
The guide now features two suggested itineraries for first-time visitors, complete with maps and descriptions. Seasoned travellers can still rely on detailed destination information to plan custom DIY trips.
Updated Accommodation and Camping
We have checked and updated all listings to include the latest facilities and contact details. Moreover, if a campsite or lodge could not be verified, we removed it to ensure accuracy. However, for community campsites, we added notes where updates were not possible—giving you the chance to explore them yourself.
Built to Last
The Namibia Self-Drive Guide Book is printed on high-quality paper and bound in a glossy semi-hard cover. As a result, the guide opens flat without damage. Furthermore, its sturdy design ensures it withstands the rigours of life inside your car while you travel.
Packed With Essential Information
The Namibia Self-Drive Guide Book covers:
- Country information and safety tips
- Trip planning and navigation
- Preparing your vehicle
- Communication and border procedures
- Health advice and veterinary fence rules
- 4×4 rental pitfalls and must-have gear
