Gondwana launches transport service

TRAVELLING has never been this easy.

Hospitality company Gondwana Collection has launched a daily hop-on, hop-off transport service for all travellers connecting them to some lodges across the country, easing the transport burden for them.

The company said this new deal is set to provide a link between their lodges that are positioned along the classic routes throughout the country, and will provide unprecedented freedom of movement and ease of travel.

Nine routes have been selected for the service, and will include – Fish River Canyon, the Namib and Kalahari deserts, Damaraland, Swakopmund and Etosha National Park.

The company said the service will not only be available to their clients, but also to all visitors to Namibia.

Last year, a few car rental businesses, especially at the coast, had to reduce their fleet as travellers were restricted from moving around the country and even coming in.

“This couldn’t have come at a more opportune time, when only a third of the car rentals that were on offer in pre-Covid days are presently available. The massive shortage in rental cars is set to continue for some time, with vehicle production delayed and exacerbated by events like the floods in KwaZulu-Natal, while the demand continually increases as the world opens its doors again to travellers. Namibia is increasingly becoming a destination on travellers’ wish-lists, as world travel resumes,” said the company.

The company said the service is ideal for people without cars, and those seeking to save on fuel.

“The Go2 traveller transfers is the ideal means of travel for people who prefer not to drive themselves, but who would like to retain their independence and choice of destinations, as well as for tour operators who can book multiple transfers around the country for their guests. Additional benefits of Go2 are saving on fuel costs and the expense of paying for a hire vehicle when it is stationary at a lodge,” said the company.
