Self-drive trips

Your own pace, your own route — but with the drive planned, the rooms booked and someone who picks up when you call.

Driving yourself doesn't mean organising everything yourself. We plan the route, book the accommodation and tell you which stretches are realistic in a day — that is the point at which self-drive trips in Africa usually come apart.

The countries differ a great deal here. South Africa is closer to European conditions; in Tanzania, Botswana or Zambia, distances and roads are another matter. We'll say openly which routes suit self-driving and which are better guided.

While you're away we are reachable — not as a hotline, but as a number where someone picks up who knows your route.
