Born out of Tread Lite 4×4 Hire – a comprehensive 4×4 rental business focused exclusively on the Suzuki Jimny, we have embarked on an extraordinary transformation, redefining the landscape of self-drive vacations across Southern Africa.

Tread Lite is a comprehensive travel specialist service that embraces the essence of minimalist, experience-driven journeys. With a foundation built on years of travel expertise, we craft unique travel packages that invite you to explore the unparalleled beauty of Southern Africa. Our travel packages remain true to our commitment in offering simplistic, experience driven vacations with our adapted Suzuki Jimny rentals. Having focused exclusively on the Suzuki Jimny in our 4×4 vehicle rental business, we understand the Jimny’s capabilities and have also meticulously adapted the our fleet to perfectly suit the South Africa travel conditions.

While Tread Lite 4×4 Hire continues to shine as a 4×4 rental business offering our unique Jimny rentals, Tread Lite emerges as a complete travel service, helping you to create a unique back-road adventure across Southern Africa.
