Is This Car Right For my Trip?

The Toyota Fortuner is probably Namibia’s most popular 4WD, and in our view is the perfect option for most Namibia self drivers who want comfort across the long drives, with enough durability to allow for some basic off-roading. 

DO YOU:

  • You have a party of up to 4 people (including the driver)
  • You don’t require a roof-mounted tent
  • You want to view Namibia’s roadside wonders in style, max comfort, and safety
  • You may do some light off-roading but aren’t looking to tackle the most challenging terrain such as sand dunes, rivers, or rock formations

Then the Toyota Fortuner, Namibia’s most popular 4WD, is probably the obvious choice for you. It is great for:

  • Long highways and city streets
  • Long gravel and corrugated roads
  • Muddy or uneven backroads
  • Basic rocky terrain and shallow river crossings, such as venturing off the road in Damaraland (but not for advanced 4WD rock maneuvers without prior experience)
  • Basic loose sand and desert tracks such as Sossusvlei (but not deep sand in remote areas such as Sandwich Harbour or the wider Skeleton Coast without prior experience)

BENEFITS

The Toyota Fortuner is one of Namibia’s most popular 4WDs because it excellently combines comfort with versatility, while also being more affordable than more specialist 4WD vehicles. 

  • Versatility to handle tough terrain: With part-time 4-wheel drive, low range, diff lock, and robust 17” tyres, it tackles loose sand, mud, and gravel confidently, though deep sand in remote areas like Sandwich Harbour may require extra caution and experience.
  • Safe clearance: High ground clearance of 279mm ensures rocks, ruts, and rough tracks won’t damage the underside.
  • Solid distances made easy: The 80L fuel tank provides around 750km of range, ideal for Namibia’s vast landscapes. Cruise control and agile handling make highway drives relaxed.
  • Your comfort: Seats up to 5 (best for 4 adults with luggage), with air conditioning, power steering, electric windows, and a USB/CD radio for a cool, enjoyable ride.
  • Peace of mind: Airbags, ABS brakes, traction control, and 24/7 emergency medical response mean you’re covered if anything goes wrong.
  • Travel extras included: Unlimited kilometres, two spare tyres, a cooler box for drinks, a GPS tracker, and 24/7 roadside assistance make the trip enjoyable and hassle-free.

FINAL THOUGHT

In short, the Fortuner is probably going to be the most reliable, easy-to-drive, and affordable option that takes the stress out of your driving and lets you focus on the adventure.
