Is a Hilux or a Fortuner better for Namibia?
The Hilux is the standard choice for self-drive groups of two to five who plan to camp or cover gravel routes. The Fortuner suits families or couples who want a smoother ride, seven-seat capacity, and tarmac comfort, while keeping off-road ability for national park routes.
Is a Suzuki Jimny big enough for a Namibia trip?
For one to four passengers without heavy camping equipment, yes. It is the most compact and fuel-efficient vehicle in the fleet, suited to solo travellers, couples or a Namibia trip with light luggage.
What's the difference between the two Hilux model years available?
The 2024-2026 Hilux is the newest generation with updated interior and safety features. The 2022-2023 Hilux platform offers the same underlying 4x4 capability at a lower daily rate.
Do all vehicles come with recovery equipment as standard?
Yes. Every vehicle includes two spare wheels, one on the Fortuner, a jack and tools, two warning triangles, a tyre compressor, a tow rope, a first aid kit and jumper cables at no extra cost.
Which vehicle has the longest fuel range?
The Land Cruiser has the largest tank at 160 litres (dual tank). The Fortuner carries 160 litres (dual tank) on 2024 models and 80 litres (single tank) on 2025 models, and the Hilux carries 145 litres (dual tank).
