What do travellers say?
Swiss Army knife on wheels
“The Jimny arrived on time, Covid compliant cleaned and every item promised was neatly packed. This set up is compact and durable. It’s like a Swiss Army knife on wheels. We had rain, high winds, heavily graded 4 x 4 routes – the Jimny and her camping kit handled it all like a boss.”

What Do Other Travellers Say?
Set up camp and enjoy the African sunset
“What a wonderful adventure!!! The Jimny was more than capable to get us anywhere we want to be and therefore enabled us to see wonderful wildlife. The equipment was well thought out and made it so easy to set up camp and enjoy the African sunset.”
Tielman Odendaal
Couldn’t have been happier
“We just finished a 25 day rental and couldn’t have been happier! The booking was simple, the car was in great shape and performed superbly on challenging roads, and was fun to drive. Pick up and delivery were simple and went without a hitch.”
No brainer
“What really stood out was Stuart’s willingness and flexibility to work with us … great service, great car and a great price – no brainer! We will definitely use them again”

What is Africa’s Golden Hour?
There is magical time in Africa just before sunset. The sun starts changing hue to golden pinks and oranges. The animals come alive and go down to drink, night animals emerge to hunt. It’s time to find a spot with a view and breathe in the sights and sounds of nature. Refresh your soul. To fully appreciate golden time, each Jimny is equipped with a fridge for your refreshments.
