TOTAL FREEDOM
Explore South Africa at Your Own Pace
Motorhome Hire is a fantastic way to explore South Africa, giving you the freedom to travel between incredible destinations without being tied to a fixed itinerary. With your transport and accommodation combined, you can enjoy the journey at your own pace and experience more along the way.
South Africa is made for road trips. Follow the Garden Route, explore the Cape Winelands, head into the Drakensberg, experience the wildlife of Kruger National Park, travel along the KwaZulu-Natal coast, or discover the quieter roads and wide-open landscapes of the Karoo. From beaches and mountains to national parks and small towns, there is always somewhere new to explore.
With comfortable sleeping areas, kitchen facilities, onboard bathroom facilities and practical living space, travelling by motorhome gives you the flexibility to spend a few nights in one destination before moving on to the next. Plan your route in advance or simply enjoy having the freedom to see where the road takes you.
GOT QUESTIONS?
Frequently Asked Questions
What Driver's Licence Do I Need for Motorhome Hire?
Most motorhomes weighing under 3,500 kg can be driven on a standard Code B (Code 08) licence in South Africa. International visitors need a valid licence printed in English, or an International Driving Permit alongside their home licence. Check the vehicle’s specifications when booking, as larger models may require a higher code.
How Many People Can Sleep in a Motorhome?
It depends on the model. Our motorhomes sleep between 2 and 6 people, with layouts ranging from compact options for couples to family-sized vehicles with multiple sleeping areas. Choose a vehicle that suits both your group size and the storage space you’ll need for the trip.
Where Can I Park a Motorhome Overnight in South Africa?
Caravan parks, private campsites and SANParks rest camps with caravan sites are the best options, as many offer electrical hook-ups, water points and ablution facilities. Overnighting on roadsides or in unofficial spots is not recommended for safety reasons. Book sites in advance during school holidays and peak season.
Should I Choose a Motorhome or a 4x4 Camper?
A motorhome is best for tar-road touring, offering more living space, a built-in bathroom and easier driving. A 4×4 camper is the better camping car hire choice for gravel roads, remote destinations and parks like the Kgalagadi or Namibia. Consider your route before booking.
Is a Motorhome the Same as an RV?
Yes. RV stands for recreational vehicle, the term widely used in North America for a motorhome. Whether you search for RV hire, RV rental or motorhome hire in South Africa, you’ll find the same fully equipped vehicles with beds, a kitchen and bathroom facilities.
