Head off the beaten track, visit wildlife reserves, or stay up late watching the stars.

Windhoek to Etosha National Park
When you pick up your camper van for hire in Namibia, theres a good chance you will start your adventure from the capital, Windhoek. Stock up on supplies here. After that, head north towards Etosha National Park. Along the way, make time to stop at Okahanja and check out the markets, some of the best in the country, selling handmade wood carvings, which are great for souvenirs. As you carry on towards Etosha, the scenery slowly turns green. There are plenty of campsites in the area. This is the African wilderness as its best. Take your time and enjoy every moment.

Swakopmund to Sossusvlei
Kick off this road trip from Swakopmund, a small coastal town with a German influence.  The drive takes you through a desert landscape. Make time for a stop at Namib-Naukluft National Park that will make you feel like you are on Marsh. Solitaire is another nice layover, known for its vintage cars, which are good for taking pictures of. Once in Sossusvlei, hike up Big Daddy, one of the world's largest sand dunes, and enjoy the sunrises here; they are spectacular.

Lüderitz to Fish River Canyon
If you like history and scenery, then this one's for you. Lüderitz is your starting point, a town full of colourful colonial buildings. Your first stop is Kolmanskop, a ghost town that's being reclaimed by the dunes. You can walk through half-buried buildings and imagine what life was like when it was a mining town. Carry on towards River Fish Canyon for one of Africa’s best landscapes. It is sometimes referred to as Namibia's very own Grand Canyon.

• They drive on the left, which is good news for those arriving from the UK.

• Seatbelts must be worn at all times.

• It is best to drive in the daytime, as the risk of an accident increases at night.

• The drink drive limit is 0.00%.

• You must have your driving licence with you at all times.

Twyfelfontein
Twyfelfontein might be tricky to pronounce, but it's easy to fall in love with. Think of it as an outdoor rock gallery with surreal rock formations and views that stretch for miles. Walk through a collection of ancient petroglyphs sketched into the rock thousands of years ago with pictures of animals and humans. It's a must-visit place that feels like stepping back in time. It’s perfect for those who want to go somewhere different after picking up their motorhome for hire in Namibia.

Cape Cross Seal Reserve
If you love wildlife, this one's for you. Head north along Namibia's Atlantic Coastline. You will find thousands of fur seals lounging, swimming, and generally living a good life here. It's loud and very busy (with seals, not people). It's a good place to get some photographs. Be warned, though, because there are so many seals, there is a fishy smell here that's so strong some people recommend sticking tissues up your nose.

Spitzkoppe
The road here can be bumpy in a campervan, so take your time. Think of it as nature's skyscraper with its fantastic rock formations. One of the most popular things to do is to watch the sunset at Rock Arch or take a guided tour of the park to learn more about the area. The stargazing here is also excellent.
