Our Story
Sahara Down is led by its visionary founder, Robin Schell-Hammer, a German native who embarked on this journey with modest beginnings and grand aspirations. His enduring passion for Land Rovers paved the way for the realization of two distinctive endeavors: a premier luxury car rental company and a high-end African adventure company.
​
SUV Rentals:
Our luxury car rental company, emerged as a response to the unmet demand in the market for premium vehicles. Our fleet boasts an array of top-tier Land Rover Discovery's, allowing you to explore South Africa in style and comfort. Robin's vision to bridge the gap in the luxury car rental industry has transformed into an exceptional service designed to elevate your travel experiences.
​
Adventures:
Robin's personal journey through Southern and East Africa not only ignited his fascination but also inspired him to share the wonders of this extraordinary continent. In 2017, he founded Sahara Down, an African adventure company that leads explorations across these regions. With Robin and his dedicated team at the helm, you'll embark on an unforgettable journey through breathtaking landscapes, cultural encounters, and wildlife experiences. Robin's deep insights, acquired through years of exploration, coupled with the collective knowledge and dedication of his team, guarantee that every adventure with Sahara Down is a unique and enriching experience.
