Kalahari Car Hire goes next generation
Kalahari Car Hire was founded by Hubert and Lola Hester, but they wanted to make more time for leisure – which those of you who know them will probably find hard to believe – and handed the business over to the next generation. Since May 2022 Anika and Ekkehard Friedrich together with Ann-Kathrin and Konrad Friedrich are the proud new owners of Kalahari Car Hire. Anika basically grew up in Lola and Hubert’s house, therefore continuing things as a family enterprise.
As passionate campers and off-road enthusiasts, we deeply appreciate these experiences, bring our own hands-on expertise, and look forward to sharing them with both new and returning customers alike in future. Here’s to many more beautiful adventures and safe trips at all times!
