We are a team of people who have been involved in the tourism, financial and medical industries and who have had to work together over the last 15 years to resolve accidents where tourists were injured or stranded.

The key metric that determines successful resolution for the injured tourist is time: time to contact, time to respond and, finally, time to resolve. The first hurdle is the vastness of Namibia, but the next bottleneck is getting to the best medical help. In Namibia’s case, all the service providers require upfront payment – which can be upwards of EUR 6 000, depending on how many people are injured.

We designed the DriveWise offering to address all of the issues, problems and challenges we have dealt with over the years.

About Us

The Insurance Illusion

You’ve planned your dream trip to Namibia. You have your gear, your itinerary, and your travel insurance. You feel protected. But in the vastness of the Namibian bush, that protection might be an illusion.

Namibia is beautiful, but it is immense. When an emergency happens, your safety is measured by a single metric: Time. Time to contact help, time for them to respond, and time to resolve the crisis.

This is where the “biggest hurdle” reveals itself. Most travelers don’t realize that standard travel insurance often fails right when you need it most. Why? Because Namibian service providers do not accept “orders” or promises of payment from foreign insurers.

They need upfront cash. We have seen major incidents where expenses quickly climb upwards of EUR 6,000. Without immediate funds, you are left to pay out-of-pocket and hope your insurer pays you back months later.

At DriveWise, we spent 15 years in the tourism, medical, and financial industries watching these “insurance illusions” strand travelers. We decided to fix it.

We have spent over a decade aligning the best players in the Namibian Tourism sector to deliver a service that is unique in the world. We don’t just offer a policy; we offer a guaranteed local response.

We designed DriveWise to solve every challenge we’ve encountered over the last 15 years. Don’t let your safety be an illusion. Get the local protection that actually works when the clock starts ticking.
