    Default Asco Car Hire

    Has anyone used these guys?

    I love their humor at least.

    How to pack a roof top tent- hire an elephant.



    We're planning an African Safari for this time next year... Namibia looks very interesting.... as does the hilux.




    Any comments on these guys would be appreciated.

    Ahem..... they have good taste in tents..ahem!....
    No, seriously, we've used them before. Good outfit and good gear, as you can see with the choice of Howling Moon RTT's. (But then again, most of them do )

    I think you can use them with confidence, and have fun with the Hilux.
    If you need any help with trip planning, it's what we do!

    And as far as the guy under the awning with the lions behind him.....
    As a safari guide of many years in Africa, I'll come out and say it; he's a bloody idiot! He's smiling now, but....

    Default Africa is not for Sissies

    He is South African. Had no clue there were lions till the flash went off. In this case, this occurred at a campsite in a Khutse NP in Botswana.
