Dear Customer,
As an established company with 13 years experience in car rental we like to introduce our company to you.
Our aim is not to be the biggest company (max 50 cars) but to be the friendliest and most professional and efficient one.
Introducing your car to you is just as important as the proper maintenance by our top- qualified staff in our own workshop.
What can be more enjoyable than a tour through Namibia with a car from Savanna.
Berti Ham and his Team!
Useful Information
The best way to explore Namibia is from a car, or well equipped 4x4 vehicle. The main advantage of exploring Namibia in a 4x4 is the ground clearance and that you can rig it with camping equipment to visit those beautiful places in locations which it are not so accessible with an ordinary sedan car. If you would like to explore Namibia with a 4x4, then Autovermietung Savanna. will assist you with the best advice and equipment to venture this.
Driving on our gravel roads in Namibia allow you to see and visit unbelievable scenic places. This however brings some new dynamics to us as a Car Rental Business. We must ensure that our vehicles are in an immaculate condition, and to inform you of the dangers in driving on our gravel roads.
The biggest contributor to accidents to tourists is speed. The limit in urban areas is 60km/h, on tarred roads outside urban areas it is 120km/h and on gravel roads outside urban areas 100km/h. We will recommend that you stay within 80km/h on our gravel roads to ensure that you always safely reach your destination.
