Planning a 3-month Southern Africa trip with kids in a camper van
Hi Lily
Just a little tip—driving a van in Southern Africa seems extremely risky, especially if you’ve never driven on sand before. Maybe a hostile-environment driving course would be necessary, because you can’t just "wing it" off-road when you arrive. If you’ve already done off-roading in a 4x4, it’d be better to stick with that and avoid the van. But don’t forget, you don’t know the country, and you’ll be living right alongside the wildlife and nature, so total vigilance is a must. See you soon

1-Year Southern Africa Road Trip
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
