Dear Caprivi,

We will remember probably for a long time our road trip from Windhoeck to Victoria Falls. Even if at the beginning we were a little bit anixous because it was our first stay in Africa, everything happened very well. The car was in very good conditions and Caprivi staff took time to explain us its working and all the instructions. But hopefully, we didn't have any problem, neither breakdown nor flat tyre and we really enjoyed our trip, contempling the awesome afrincan landscapes, the magic of the sunsets and sunrises, and obviously the many fantastic wild animals.

Doing this trip by ourselves, sleeping in the tent in nature was really a very good experience. We wish come back again.

Dear Claudia & Caprivi Car Hire

Many thanks for letting me know. I have already received a notification from my bank that the deposit has been unblocked.

Please find attached a couple of photos of the car that I thought turned out nice. Feel free to use them however you wish; I would just appreciate learning how they end up being used if so :)

Namibia was an incredible experience, and exploring it with a car and tent is without a doubt the best way! Another friend and I are already talking about a second trip to visit the Caprivi strip, which we sadly didn't have time for during this trip!

All the best,

Linn

Dear Claudia , dear Caprivi Car Hire Team,

Our Rental is now a few weeks over. ( Oct.-Nov.2018). You might recall , I had a stone damaging the left running board . You have charged  ~30 € , which is very reasonable. But I wanted, to tell you, that we were very pleased with the car and the service , you have provided. 

The car including the tyres was in very good condition.  Remarkable, during 5 rentals over many years I did with you and earlier Kessler, I never had a tyre problem, even using the car on rough streets in the Brandberg area and in the Caprivi stripe. Also, never one car left us with any trouble.

The service at the pick up station was excellent and I have observed, that your team gave very detailed instructions to people, who had less Namibian road experience .  All camping equipment and the roof tent were in good condition . Since the holiday experience is depending extremely on  car and equipment , this is a strong “plus” for your organization.

I am providing here also a few pictures which I have made personally and you have the right , to make use of them. Just let me kindly know, if you do so. Also, if you need higher resolution on the pictures, let me know.

With best wishes

Werner and Heidi

Dear Mrs. Claudia

Back home we are still dreaming about our fantastic trip to Namibia and Botswana, countries were we had never been before. We lived in Mozambique for 6 years long time ago, and used to travel to South Africa and some other african countries, but Namibia is unique...

We were very, very lucky to have rented the 2 cars from you. I was a bit afraid because I was travelling with my grandons and most of the others had never been to Africa before. So, to choose a company in which we could rely was our first priority. I read a lot of reviews on internet before I chose Caprivi Car Hire and I can tell you that you are still better than what we were expecting. Your cars are very good, tyres are brand new, but, above all, what impressed me the most was your deepest sympathy  and permanent availability to help and to make things become easier. 

We will miss you and next time we, or some of our friends, go to Windhoek, be sure that we do not search cars elsewhere.  

We can post this email on your homepage, as my statement. I can also post a statement on your page of Facebook.

I'll check if I have a nice photo with your car, but may be this can take a bit longer as I may need to contact our friends, which took much more photos  than me,  and they do not live nearby.

Warm regards

Eliseu Fernandes

Dear Caprivi,

Please find attached some pictures that you can show on your site.

Our comments: ”We have just come back from a beautiful trip in Namibia and would like to thank Caprivi Car Hire for the quality of its service delivery. Indeed, we drove 4 500 km and had no problem at all.

The idea was to camp to enjoy nature at its best and therefore we rented a car (with a tent on the roof) from Caprivi Car Hire for 21 days. Everything went very smoothly. We had a briefing about the tent (it is quite easy and quick in fact to set up or put down, and after just one night, we already felt comfortable). The inside of the tent was clean and comfortable (a good foam mattress, pillows, bed sheet, and sleeping bags). The camping equipment is basic but sufficient. We also took advantage of all the advice regarding the trip: states of the roads (tar or gravel for most of our trip, sand), tire pressure, speed limit. The left-hand driving was also a challenge for us (coming from France). Finally, it is important to respect all advice from the car hire, not drive too fast and be very cautious at all times (animals on the side of the road for example).”

Dear Caprivi,

I'm sending you some photographs of the great trip we had through Namibia. Hope you are all well!

Kind regards,
Caroline Pool

We really loved your country; we loved nature, landscapes, and animals and really enjoyed the people.

Our rental has been perfect the car was the perfect vehicle for driving on your gravel roads and I've really enjoying driving on the sand at Sossusvlei!!

We were very lucky as we have not even broken a tire, maybe it was thanks to Ronald and his instructions? 😉

We were used to call the car as “Caprivone”, that means Big Caprivi!

We hope we could come back in Namibia soon, and off course our car rental we’ll be Caprivi!

Regards!

Alessandro e Teresa

We had such a great time in Namibia. One of the most important things you need is a perfect car.

Thanks a lot to Caprivi Car Hire - we were very happy.

Thomas, Julia, Jonas & Luca

We are very happy with our car hire experience with Caprivi and would certainly approach you if intending to travel in Namibia again, or recommend Caprivi to friends.

Kind Regards

Birgitt & Greg

 We have enjoyed Namibia with your car very much, here are some photos we took, if you want to use them you are welcome!

Thanks again and maybe till next time,

Kind regards

Richard and Nathalie Brocken

Thank you for an amazing Service & Namibia Experience!

Rundreise Namibia

In zweieinhalb Wochen haben wir mit dem Toyota Hilux über 3500 km gefahren und dabei nur das Beste erlebt. Vor allem ein Top Fahrzeug, keine Pannen und einen guten Service durch das Caprivi Car Hire Team.

Vielen Dank

Ernst und Hanspeter

Thank you again for making our stay and ride in Namibia lovely!

We were more then happy to rent our 4x4 by Caprivi rentals.

Our Toyota Hilux 2015  4x4 was a great and comfortable car and made our 16 days tour through Namibia a great journey.

The car was completely functional and tyre (very important!) were in perfect condition and new.  We did not experience any problems with our car on our roadtrip. The Tent and the mattress were also very comfortable and we loved having our fridge on board.

We got explained everything clearly at the moment of the car pick up.

Transfer to/from airport was well organized.

The roads in Namibia are challenging for unexperienced drivers. We sincerely recommend to stick to the speed limits advised from the company.

When traveling to Namibia again we will definitely rent our car through Caprivi again.  Serious company.

Greetings from Germany

Marina & Tobias

Friendly Welcome!

November 2017. Twenty days with a Toyota 4x4x Hilux double cabin and camping accommodation. 6000 KM. Vehicle recent, very clean inside and outside when we start, but no when we come back!!!!! No mechanical problem. Transfer to the airport to the arrival and departure.

Just a detail: We are 68 and 65 years old and we are small! So a fordable step ladder of three steps would have helped us to raise and fold the roof tent!!! Not a scoff holding, only a little step ladder!!!!!!!

When I go back in Namibia I will take a vehicle at Caprivi.

Thank you CAPRIVI and don’t forget Namibia is a very nice and welcoming country.

Wir denken gerne noch an den schönen Urlaub zurueck

Das haben wir auch Euch zu verdanken.
Ihr habt professionell, unbürokratisch und in deutscher Sprache mit uns kommuniziert.
Und das wichtigste : Fahrzeug Top in Ordnung.
Vielen Dank.

Our 3 Week Tour through Namibia was absolutely fantastic!

Our 3 week tour through Namibia was absolutely fantastic! The cars took us where ever we wanted to go without any problems (the odd puncture being part of the game). Thank you for the great communication throughout the planning stage and after the trip. You have been a great help in organizing this tour for 11 people coming from 6 different countries!

Many thanks again.

We all want to come back!

We had a great time in Namibia with the car

Rachel and myself booked a Toyota Hilux with camping facilities for a week to tour Namibia. We drove from Windhoek to Etosha safari park, did a few self drive safaris, on to Damaraland, then down the coast to swakopmund, Sossusvlei and back to Windhoek. The car coped fantastically with all the road conditions, we would not have been so confident with another car type. The huge tyres also gave us confidence as many people had said we would most certainly get at least one puncture during our travels, we didn’t get a single one!

The huge double petrol tank also meant that we only needed to fully refuel twice, definitely a bonus when there can be long stretches without a petrol station. The camping facilities were comfortable and very simple to erect, taking only a few minutes after a few nights practice. Cooking equipment and stove with gas also came in very useful.

Plenty of room in the vehicle for all our bags and generally a very easy car to drive. 

The staff at pick up and drop off were extremely polite and very helpful. Providing an extra airport shuttle for us to get to the airport on the way home. 

Overall 5/5 stars. We will definitely recommend and use again when we come back.

Many thanks

James & Rachel     

Thank You For Everything!

Tour durch Namibia mit 2 Dachzelten

Familie Eder, 12.09.2017

Wir hatten wunderbare zweieinhalb Wochen auf unserer Tour durch Namibia mit zwei Dachzelten auf einem Toyota Hilux von Caprivi Car Hire - das Auto und die gemietete Campingausrüstung in sehr gutem Zustand, Übernahme und Rückgabe sehr unkompliziert und die Einweisung in das Auto und Equipment ausführlich und gut. Auch der Transport vom und zum Flughafen bestens. Wünschenswert wäre eine zweite Batterie, auf die der Kühlschrank läuft für Campsites ohne Strom. Sonst perfekt und rundum empfehlenswert! 

Herzliche Grüße aus München,
Familie Eder

3 Wochen Hilux

Robert,  08.04.2014

Hatten von Caprivi Car Hire 3 Wochen einen Hilux. Alles war perfekt. Der Wagen war in super Zustand - die Reifen schienen komplett Neu. Die Abwicklung verlief unkompliziert und äußerst freundlich. Also alles super. Beim nächsten Mal sicher wieder!

Wir verbrachten 5 unvergessliche Wochen in Namibia und Botswana und der Hilux hat uns treu und zuverlässig begleitet! Unterwegs zu sein mit dem Dachzelt ist ein besonderes Erlebnis! Wir danken Caprivi für die unkomplizierte Abwicklung und das tolle Auto! Wir werden euch mit Sicherheit weiter empfehlen und wieder bei euch buchen

15 Tage Tour durch Namibia

Rike, Michael und Ben, 10.01.2014

Wir haben eine wunderschöne Tour mit dem Toyota Hilux durch Namibia gemacht - er war er gut gewartet und hat uns in den 2 Wochen auf den hebre 2000km keine Probleme bereitet. Ob bei über 30 Grad in Damaraland, oder der wirklich sehr holprigen Strassen im Erongo oder steilen, felsig rauhen 4WD Routen über viele Berge und Pässe, bis über 1700m bis nach Opuwo.

Die meiste Zeit haben wir keinen einzigen anderen Selbstfahrertouristen getroffen. Dank der guten Bereifung sind wir kein einziges Mal stecken geblieben ( Bitte darauf achten - wir haben viele Geschichten gehört von anderen Fahrern, die Probleme hatten).

Natürlich haben wir außer schöner Landschaften auch noch viele Tiere hautnah gesehen. Löwen bis 1m zum Auto, Elefanten, Zebras, Gnus, Antilopen, Giraffen, verschiedenste Vögel. Ein wirklich gelungener Abenteuerurlaub.

Im Toyota Hilux durch Namibia, SA und Botswana

Norbert Mehlführer, 21.12.2013

Obwohl unser Toyota Hilux schon etwas älter war - wir durften den 100 000er mit ihm feiern - war er gut gewartet und hat uns in den 6 Wochen auf den 9649km keine Probleme bereitet. Ob bei nur 3,1 Grad in Klein Aus-Vista oder bei über 40 Grad im Transfrontier Park, ob auf der wirklich sehr tiefsandigen West Coast 4WD Route in SA oder steilen, felsig rauhen 4WD Routen über viele Berge und Pässe (bis über 1700m).

Jedenfalls hatten wir dann so viel Vertrauen zum Auto, dass wir es gewagt haben nur mit einem Auto die Zentralkalahri in Botswana in 4 Tagen von Süden nach Norden zu durchqueren. In der Zentralkalahari haben wir keinen einzigen anderen Selbstfahrertouristen getroffen, es hat aber 2 Tage lang geregnet und selbst die Löwen waren nicht zu hören oder gar zu sehen. Dank der guten Bereifung sind wir kein einziges Mal stecken geblieben, im Gegensatz zu anderen, wie wir von den Rangern gehört haben, die in Schlammlöchern festsaßen und von ihnen freigeschleppt werden mussten.

Eine Überraschung hat uns dann auf der kleinen Khumaga Fähre erwartet als man uns nach 2/3 der Flußüberquerung bedeutete nun von der Fähre herunter und den restlichen Weg durch den Fluß zum Ufer selber zu fahren. Der war dort immerhin etwa einen halben Meter tief. Aber auch da hat uns der Hilux nicht im Stich gelassen und uns sicher ans Ufer gebracht.

Natürlich haben wir außer schöner Landschaften auch noch viele Tiere hautnah gesehen. Löwen bis 1m zum Auto, Elefanten, Zebras, Gnus, Antilopen, Giraffen, Schildkröten, Schlangen, verschiedenste Vöge etcl. Auch einige bunte Wiesenblumen haben an der Westküste von SA sogar noch geblüht.

Ein wirklich gelungener Abenteuerurlaub und wir hoffen bald wieder ins südliche Afrika zu kommen um mit einem Caprivi-Auto wieder eine Rundreise unternehmen zu können.

Toyota Hilux Hire October 2013

Martin Rocke, 14.11.2013

Just back in UK from 10 days in Namibia. We hired a Toyota Hilux from Caprivi - the most pain free car hire ever. The vehicle was in excellent order and carried us over 1,500 miles (2400km) never missing a beat. It was surprisingly comfortable and had loads of room for four adults and lots of baggage. Collection from and return to our B&B near the airport was spot on time. All in all an excellent experience, we'll certainly hire from them again and highly recommend them.

Great service and car

Himmelsbach, 09.11.2013

Thanks to caprivi carhire for the excellent car wewere given to drive. Not one problem during the whole trip. The airport transfer was punctual and we would certainly bok with caprivicarhire aigain.

Dankeschön

Gerhard Heclau, 04.11.2013

Dank Euch allen, angefangen mit Olga, die die Verbindung per Mail mit mir hielt, zweitens der Stefanie, die die notwendige Verwaltungsarbeit problemlos abwickelte, drittens Dank all denen, die für eine gutes Fahrzeug + Campingausrüstung + pünktlichen Flughafentransfer sorgten. So hatten wir 4 alten Knaben wieder mal eine entspannte sorgenfreie Tour voller schöner Erlebnisse mit den Menschen und der Natur Namibias, Botswanas bis hin nach Vic. Falls. Ingo, Du hast eine dufte Truppe!!

Thank's and good bye

Rundreise im Bush-Camper

Erica und Markus, 14.10.2013

Rundum Namibia - mit dem Bush-Camper echt der Hammer! Unsere 3 wöchige Rundreise mit dem Toyota Bush-Camper war super. Das Auto war perfekt – die Einrichtung des Campers gut und der Kühlschrak hat alle unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Gerne empfehlen wir Caprivi Car Hier weiter – herzlichen Dank für den guten Service. Es lief alles bestens von der Buchung über den Airport Service bei der Ankunft in Windhoek bis zur Rückgabe des Fahrzeuges und den Rücktransfer zum Flughafen. Die Wildtiere im Etosha haben uns sehr beeindruckt, und wir haben vor allem die endlose Weite und die Schönheit der verschiedenen Wüstenlandschaften sehr genossen. Die Ruhe auf den einsamen Camp Sites auf dem Aabadi Mountain Camp bei Twyfelfontein, der riesige Campground in der Spitzkuppe sowie an der Blutkuppe und der Fish River Canyon sind einzigartig. Die Dünen in Sossusvlei muss man gesehen haben um die Unendlichkeit der Namibwüste zu begreifen.

Reise durch Namibias Süden

W. Rinker, 08.10.2013

Im September 2013 sind wir (2 Pers.) 14 Tage mit einem 4x4 Toyota von Caprivi Car Hire durch Namibias Süden gefahren. Von der Abholung vom Hotel am Beginn der Reise bis zur Autoabholung vom Hotel am Ende der Reise hat alles wunderbar geklappt. Das Auto hat uns zuverlässig während unserer gesamten Reise von Windhoek über Swakopmund, Sossusvlei, Lüderitz, Keetmanshop und zurück nach Windhoek begleitet. Es gab keine Pannen, alles Notwendige war an Bord. Das Auto war sauber und in Ordnung. Auch das gute Kartenmaterial hat uns gefallen und geholfen. Wir haben viel gesehen und werden bestimmt noch einmal nach Namibia kommen. Wir werden unser Auto wieder bei Caprivi Car Hire mieten und die Firma auch guten Gewissens weiterempfehlen.
