Discover Africa at your own pace

A self-drive tour suits you if you enjoy driving and prefer to organise your days independently. Accommodation and the overall route are planned in advance, while you travel between stops at your own pace. If you would rather be driven or travel with a group, another travel format may suit you better.

Your booked overnight stops and time-specific services provide the framework. Within that framework, you choose your breaks and stops. Allow enough time for longer visits or extra activities. Additional nights or route changes are best discussed before booking; changes during the trip depend on availability and the conditions of the services booked.

This depends on the route. Paved roads and regular access roads involve different demands from remote sandy tracks or challenging off-road sections. The vehicle and itinerary should therefore be chosen together. Tell us about your driving experience so that we can develop a suitable proposal.

We consider driving times, road conditions, planned activities and accommodation locations together. A short distance on the map does not necessarily mean a short drive. Several nights in selected places allow time for excursions and rest. Discuss how much driving you would like to do each day and which experiences matter most to you.

Yes. For example, you can drive between your accommodation stops and include guided activities at selected locations. Whether game drives, walks or other excursions are available and need to be booked separately depends on the accommodation and programme. Your specific offer will set out the included services.

A carefully planned route can work well for a family. The children's ages, preferred daily driving times and suitable accommodation are key considerations. Activity age limits and the vehicle equipment you need also belong in the planning. Tell us your children's ages and your preferences so that these points can be considered in the proposal.

Your travel dates, preferred duration, number of travellers and approximate budget are useful starting points. Also tell us which countries and experiences interest you, your accommodation preferences and your driving experience. Preferences for shorter driving stages, longer stays or particular activities help us plan your journey.
