How to Choose the right campervan for your South Africa holiday.


Firstly, what sort of self-drive holiday in South Africa are you considering? If you want to spend every night in a campsite and drive the Garden Route then hire a motorhome with shower and wc onboard and stay in one of the fantastic campsites on the way. If you want to do a self-drive safari then a 4x4 camper is the best option.


You then need to decide on bed layouts. These can be one large double bed, one double bed and two singles, one double bed, one smaller double and two singles or any other combination. Two people can share a 6-berth if you require extra room. The budget conscious may want a small 2-berth camper.
