Travel experts agree, motorhome hire in Johannesburg is fast becoming one of the most popular options for self-drive travel. While many travellers enjoy the thrills and spills of camping and trekking across remote passes and destinations, one of the downsides to exploring the great outdoors this way is the lack of comfort. Anyone who has spent the night in a tent during a famous lowveld winter will know that much as the idea of living it rough may be appealing, the reality is not always as fun. Campers, or motorhomes as they are often called, offer the perfect compromise – the ability to go anyway you wish, with the added luxury of built-in accommodation, ensuring that you stay high and dry wherever you go.

Another key benefit of camper hire in Johannesburg is that ultimately you save on travel costs too. Rather than having to fork out thousands of Rands for travel expenses as well as accommodation, you only need to worry about the hire costs (which are a lot more affordable than you may have thought). It is this convenience and comfort, not to mention the added fun travelling across the beautiful landscapes of Johannesburg and Gauteng in a mini home on wheels, which is making motorhome rental in Johannesburg such a popular choice.

Once you have arranged your camper hire from a reputable hire agency, you can begin planning your route. Some of the top camping routes and caravan parks within Johannesburg and surrounds include the following spots:
