Our Suzuki Jimny packed and ready to go

1. You are budget conscious adventure travellers who prefer to travel at your own pace

Our vehicles are affordable and fully equipped which makes them the perfect choice for the budget conscious traveler. With all the equipment included in your rental, there are no hidden costs or surprises when you arrive in South Africa.

Self-drive vacations are perfectly suited to the free-spirited traveler. There is no sticking to time schedules or group tour itineraries – you simply go wherever your heart desires.

2. You prefer a minimalistic approach to travel, leaving the bells and whistles at home

At Tread Lite 4×4 hire, we firmly believe in the value of minimalistic travel. We prefer to leave the kitchen sink at home and take only what you really need. With years of camping experience in South Africa under our belts, the equipment in our vehicles has been carefully selected, ensuring the necessities are there, but kept to an absolute minimum.

The Suzuki Jimny epitomizes minimalistic travel. It is a compact, lightweight vehicle with all the strength and capabilities of its heavier counterparts.

3. You seek experiences, not luxury hotel rooms and five-star service

You know how the saying goes; the journey is the destination – and that is exactly what we believe. The fun, adventurous nature of our vehicles means the journey from point A to point B is more than just a stretch of road, there is a world of experiences waiting to be discovered.

We also value the experience of back to basics travel where spending the night under the stars around the campfire and comfy tent is all you need. Combining your camping with self-catered and budget friendly accommodation is a great way to create a varied experience as you explore the diversity of South Africa.
