I lived 6 years in and around SA and I can't remember anywhere you couldn't get in a rear wheel drive with decent ground clearance; unless you really went looking to get stuck...
What about a combi? The SA built rear engine T3 are really fantastic and surprisingly capable, with a bit more living space. You could also ship it back at the end of the trip. The T3 campers still fetch amazing money, and a rust free SA built one would be snapped up rapidly.
Whatever.
Have a good trip (even if it's too short to enjoy everything SA has to offer)

Yes I know it is too short, but it is not exactly the first time I go to Africa, it is more a ´see again´ of some places and people after many years, although I have never been to Angola as that wasn´t possible in ´my time´ (1982 -2000)
Indeed I have been thinking of a Combi as well, but Moremi and Chobe will be too much fun for me with a Combi I am afraid (unless the ´roads´ were improved). And what I found on the internet they seem overpriced to me as well.
A pickup is not what I am looking for, otherwise the Nissan Hardbody would be a good choice indeed.
See that there is a Toyota Condor 4x4 in RSA, at reasonable secondhand prices. Never heard of that car before. Anyone experience with it?
