Africa travel | Private tours | Guided selfdrive

For 2010 we have based our self-drive pricing on having full tours with 12 adults booked, therefore we have been able to reduce our prices in many cases, yet still retain the small-group and exclusive nature of our tours. Visit our self-drive tour launch page to choose your next adventure today!

Marlize and I would like to thank you very much for the wonderful trip that you organized to Kaokoveld - it certainly ranks as the best 4x4 holiday that I have completed. We both thought that your planning and organizing was top notch. The scenery was breathtaking and the pace of the trip was perfect. There were many highlights to the trip and it is difficult to list all of them, but to me the top 2 must be: Completing van Zyls Pass successfully (thanks to some good guidance from yourself and some extensive road building) and, seeing not one but three different herds of desert elephants! I hope we have the opportunity to join you on another trip soon as we enjoyed your planning, relaxed attitude and good company.

Responsible travel

Many of our tours are spent in ecologically-sensitive regions, and therefore all our tours include guidelines for our guests about responsible travel during our journeys through these areas. Where feasible we often also include stays at community-run campsites and encourage the purchase of local crafts and curios, thereby benefitting these communities by our visits.
