Self-drive excursions |
|
Due to its central location Rooisand can serve
as the starting point for a number of self-drive excursions:
On this page we portray
several excursions - some with an overnight stay - for which Rooisand is a
suitable "base camp". |
 |
|
|
These excursions have been tried and tested by
the Rooisand team and were rated "highly commendable".
We make some suggestions for each
excursion and we also provide web addresses where you find more details. In
some cases you can book online.
Since the descriptions of the
excursions are a little extensive they open through a separate browser window.
To return to this page, simply close that window.

PLEASE NOTE
There is no
danger in renting a car for self-drive in Namibia, as long as you keep on the
left-hand side of the road and bear the following rules in mind:
- plan your excursions in
such a way that you do not have to drive at dusk and never after dark,
otherwise you are in acute danger of colliding with large animals;
- drive at moderate speeds
on Namibia's gravel roads; if you do more than 80km/h, braking sharply or
swerving becomes very dangerous because the car will probably start skidding.
