A self-drive country, where the cost driver is distance rather than accommodation. Sossusvlei and Etosha sit far apart, and the vehicle decision — ground clearance, whether to take a rooftop tent, whether to add a second spare — affects the total more than which lodges you book. Long stretches have no fuel, no signal and no shops, so preparation carries more weight here than anywhere else in this guide.
