We also provide a service centre where our customers can come to have their off-road caravans or trailers serviced or repaired. Please browse through our web pages.
WHAT LIES AHEAD FOR 2010?
We wish all our Readers and Customers a wonderful and prosperous 2010!
2010 will be the year of Great Expectations. This year we will see an explosion of tourism activities for South Africa. Not only do we expect a large number of Soccer Fans for the 2010 World Cup but we expect a recovery from the recession of the last two years.
Last year we were spot on when we predicted a big cut in the interest rates, but this year will probably see a decline of 0.5% drop in interest rates, but for how long we are not sure. The recession will also take its toll on the treasury and with all the roads and facilties the Government has started with we can expect a rise in taxes in some sort of form. We would not be surprised to see VAT increasing to 15% or more.
For the Ngonyama Safari Club we plan for 2010 safaris to Kafue National Park in Zambia as well as safaris to South Luangwa & Malawi and a photography trip to Mana Pools in Zimbabwe.

TARIFF INCREASES FOR 2010!
We have kept our rates low for a long period of time but unfortunately for 2010 we had to increase it. Many of our rental items remains unchanged, but we managed to keep the increases to about 10%. Check our rates cards for the latest tariffs.
Beat the recession - rent out your motorhome, off-road caravan or off-road trailer. We do receive a number of enquiries for such items. We are especially looking for a couple of motorhomes. Give us a call on 08 444 10 333.
In the interest of safe off-road towing we have compiled a free Off-road Towing checklist. It has also a safety towing tips component. Download it now.
We have made camping very easy with our fully equipped off-road caravans and off-road trailers. Just pack your food and clothes and off you go!
We specialize in the rentals of off-road caravans where you can rent a fully equipped and fully serviced unit from us including bedding [linen], towels and all the cutlery and crockery in durable stainless steel you will need for your trip. Our caravans are equipped with a 12v/220v fridge/freezer, hot water geyser, gas stove and water tanks. We have choices of various brands to choose from.

In our off-road trailer rental section you have the choice to either rent a fully equipped trailer as per rates card or you can rent one of our basic trailers with or without a rooftop tent [we have a couple of options available]. Our Echo and Conqueror range of off-road trailers are fully equipped and are not available as semi-kitted.
In our general camping section you can rent from us:
· Tents
· Roof top tents
· VHF 2 way radios
· GPS instruments
· Fridge/freezer from 40litres to 80 litres [National Luna & WAECO]
· Recovery equipment
· Solar panels [ANLOF system] and backup batteries
The global "credit crunch" of 2008 affected us all. Are you going to buy new off-road caravans or off-road trailers or camping gear that you going to use only once in 2009 or are you going to be smart and rent it at a fraction of the costs of buying it?
When you rent an off-road caravan from us the current rate is R886.80 which includes VAT and insurance. This rate is nearly 50% cheaper than owning such a unit.
Now which is the best? Owning or renting?
RENT B-4 U BUY or rather just rent your camping gear and equipment for 2010

Ngonyama Camper Rentals is the pioneering company of off-road caravan rentals in South Africa. There were no companies doing off-road caravan rentals when we started 6 years ago. Subsequently our business expanded rapidly to include off-road trailers and camping equipment. Today Ngonyama is the leading company in South Africa in off-road caravan rentals.
In our Rental Products page you will find photos of some of our rentals products.
The demand for our rentals has prompted the opening of branches all over South Africa on a franchise basis. The first of these franchises is scheduled to open its doors for business during 2009 just in time for the expected demand during the 2010 Soccer World Cup. Read more ...
