1-Year Southern Africa Road Trip

Ellison76 · 2026-03-29

Hi everyone,

We’re heading out in April 2027 with our 4x4 to explore part of Southern Africa. Right now we’re researching all these beautiful countries and deciding where to ship our vehicle. We’re from Le Havre—has anyone here already shipped from that port to South Africa or East Africa? As for all these countries, is wild camping allowed, tolerated, easy, or difficult? We’ve already visited a few, but you can read just about anything online, so getting tips from real independent travelers is way better :) We’re all ears for any hacks, experiences, or spots you’d recommend. See you on the road with Doddy

Hi everyone,

I’m also planning to visit Southern Africa with my own 4x4. I’ve been in touch with African Overlanders, who’ve offered me a shipping option from Rotterdam to Cape Town (I’m from Belgium).
