We also offer ‘Self-Drive’ African Overland 4×4 Safari Tour Options…

While all of our tours offer you the chance to join us in our reliable fleet of 4×4, we understand that some people like to feel in control, and would prefer a self-drive option.

Therefore if you want the pleasure of driving yourself, and would like to join one of our Southern African Safari Tours in your own 4×4 vehicle, we can accommodate you.

With our self-drive options, you can tell us where you want to go or join one of our scheduled tours.  We will arrange a tour for you as you drive along with us.

All our Overland 4×4 Safari Options…

On each trip, we take only a maximum of 4 people per 4×4 vehicle, so you never feel over-crowded, be sure to check out our Self Drive Tour Options.

We have differentiated between a few options for your overland tour of Southern Africa using ‘Gold’, ‘Silver’ and ‘Bronze’ as the options to choose from, so remember to select the correct option on your enquiry or tour form when you contact us.
