Toyota Fortuner or similar with rooftop tent - South Africa
Comfortable on the road, with your sleeping place carried on the roof. The Touring 4x4 with rooftop tent combines the driving comfort of a spacious SUV with the freedom to camp independently.
Your home on wheels through Africa.
Comfort on the road. Your bed on the roof. The Touring 4x4, Toyota Fortuner or similar, combines the comfort of a spacious SUV with everything you need for a camping journey. The enclosed body, automatic transmission and comfortable seating position make this category well suited to longer driving days. On tarmac, it feels relaxed and easy to place. Four-wheel drive and good ground clearance give you more freedom on gravel roads, routes through wildlife parks and less well-maintained roads. One rooftop tent is fitted to the roof. Depending on destination and availability, this can be a soft-shell or hard-shell version. Open it and your sleeping space for the night is ready. A mattress, sleeping bags, pillows and bedding are included, along with the equipment you need to cook and eat on the road. The Touring 4x4 is a comfortable way to combine a regular road trip with camping. If you plan to camp for longer stretches or carry a lot of luggage and equipment, a Hilux or Land Cruiser is usually the more practical choice.
The 4x4 from all sides.
Drive without worries, even when things go wrong.
The rentalcompany’s standard insurance typically includes an excess and, in many cases,does not cover damage to items such as windshields, tires, and other specific components. Our supplementary insurance can significantly reduce the excess, bringing it down to a very low amount or even zero.
