When our Troopy conversion is done, the plan was to keep the vehicle in South Africa and do yearly trips until we retire and can do multi-month journeys. Joburg was the logical place being close to all the great safari destinations. I found a couple of options with what looked like good security and decent pricing but we weren't that crazy starting our trips in Johannesburg, getting provisions, etc. Since our first rental self-drive was in Namibia, I checked with our insurance company and they didn't care if we stored the vehicle in South Africa or Namibia.
Since flights from Joburg to Windhoek are aplenty and relatively inexpensive, Namibia became a good option for storing our Troopy; especially since it's a similar distance from Maun as is Joburg. Even though SA is closer to Zambia & Zimbabwe, Namibia has its own attractions worthy of consideration. Plus the climate in Windhoek should be very easy on the vehicle while in storage.
Has anyone here had experience storing their vehicle in any of the places below? Any strong likes or dislikes?
Hunters Home Vehicle Storage | KG Sand & Stone - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]
Langzeitparken – in Namibia für Overlander Fahrzeuge - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]
The Airport Hunting and Guest Farm in Namibia : Vehicle Shelter - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]
Long term vehicle parking between Windhoek and International Airport - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]
There are several others, but the ones above looked the most promising ... at least online.
