Namibia2Go moves to Hosea Kutako

Namibia2Go is preparing to establish its new headquarters at the turnoff to the Hosea Kutako International Airport, making it the first entirely Namibian-owned car rental company located at the airport. According to parent company Gondwana Collection Namibia, the ground-breaking ceremony took place on 19 January. Acquired in early 2020, the future Namibia2Go premises will sprawl across two erven in the Sungate precinct."We are excited to announce our partnership with architect Sven-Erik Staby from Staby Design, in collaboration with main contractor Gaia Investments, for this project," Gondwana’s operations director Alain Noirfalise said.The official opening date is set for September 2024.Immersive experienceGondwana said guests arriving at Namibia2Go will be greeted by a continuous shuttle service from the arrival hall to the new location, eliminating the need for extended waiting times or the inconvenience of driving to Windhoek. The premises will comprise of a guest-related erf designed for smooth traffic flow, featuring a welcoming main building for meet-and-greet, induction and vehicle handover under a shade roof.“Namibia2Go is not just about car rentals, it is about creating an immersive experience for travellers,” the company said. The main building will house a coffee shop offering delightful treats, and a store stocked with necessities for the first drive out of town, as well as Namibian souvenirs and mementos for last-minute retail therapy.According to Gondwana, the adjacent erf will be dedicated to technical aspects, featuring a mechanical repairs and a tyre shop, an onsite carwash with its own water filtration system, and over 200 parking spots. A designated area will cater to laundry, cleaning and storage of camping equipment, ensuring a comprehensive inspection before vehicles are released to clients.Seamless transportationGondwana said the ambitious plans reflect its commitment to enhancing its offerings. In 2017, recognising the need to provide seamless transportation from lodge to lodge, Gondwana introduced Namibia2Go with four enticing self-drive safari packages in comfortable SUVs. When the Cardboard Box Travel Shop, a renowned destination management company and tour operator, joined the Gondwana family in 2018, it presented a golden opportunity to expand the horizons for Namibia2Go, transforming it into a comprehensive car rental service with tailor-made journeys.Over the years, Namibia2Go has grown considerably, relocating from Bismarck Street to its current location in Bassingthwaighte Street, Klein Windhoek, in 2019. Today, with a team of 32 dedicated members and a diverse fleet of 278 rental vehicles across various categories, the existing space has become limited.
