Motorhome safari trips in Southern Africa up 33% this year

According to CamperDays, a motorhome rental platform, road trips in motorhomes for safaris in Southern Africa increased by 33% in 2026. The growth is driven by demand for flexible, self-drive nature travel, particularly in Namibia and Botswana. Namibia, where 47.5% of tourists visit for leisure, has stabilized international arrivals at over 1.21 million per year. Botswana received over 1.18 million tourists, and its parks, such as the Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park, require 4x4 vehicles, making self-drive safaris popular.
