@Laura We are no car mechanics, I can assure you. I would still go for the adventure and hope to learn some things along the way. I would splurge for a satellite phone (we didn’t) and you should be sure to bring extra goods/water before setting out in case you were to get stuck. Oh, and go with a Toyota Hi-Lux, not a Land Rover. Land Rovers are notoriously fickle and if you’re not a car person, they can be a real pain to work with.

Hi! We have been thinking this is the way we also would like to experience south Africa! For all the reasons you already mentioned, it just seems this is the logical way to go. I’m am a little daunted though by the possibility of car troubles along the way. I realize this may be a crap shoot to some degree but was anything along the way more than you were able to handle car wise? As a couple of soon to be travelers with absolutely no mechanical know how, this is definitely my biggest concern.
