Team Selfdrive4x4.com
Hans Schoelink and Marco de Lange. Two Africa travellers in heart and soul are the founders of Selfdrive4x4.com. Marco lived in Zimbabwe for several years and organised trips in Botswana, among other places. Hans has driven countless kilometers through the various countries of Africa in the past 25 years. Study trips are also made almost every year. As a result, we have many good local contacts and we can help you put together the best trip and discover the real Africa by 4×4 car. Our knowledge and that of our team (Esther, Mike, Irene and Tessa) is the basis for your self-drive trip. Together with them, we are happy to speak to you.
Up-to-date advice and reliable cars
Since the early years (1994/1995), much has changed. Tourism has increased dramatically and self-drive trips and 4×4 rental cars have become extremely popular. Travellers used to only run into other ‘overlanders’ with their own cars (much like we met each other in Namibia). However, now you’ll notice that you won’t be the only one discovering Africa with a 4×4. Luckily the countries are so massive that there’s space enough for everyone. You can still drive there for a day without meeting anyone.
Southern Africa
We ourselves are regular visitors of Southern Africa, so we can keep our self-drive experience up to date. Our network of local contacts also keeps us updated, so we can provide you with the latest information of the local situation. We use this knowledge to support and advise you during your self-drive trip through Africa.
If you have a self-drive question or if you want to have more information, please call us on +31 24 208 22 00 or send us an email at info@selfdrive4x4.com. We would love to help you.
