"It’s so hard to choose just a couple of places in South Africa, but for me beach time at Plettenberg Bay and a safari in Sabi Sand top my list."

Self Drive Holidays

If you love the thrill of the open road, Africa offers some exciting opportunities for independent travel. Our top recommendations for a self drive holiday are South Africa, Namibia and the Indian Ocean island of Reunion. All have good, well-maintained road networks and when compared to Europe, there is considerably less traffic. We carefully plan the itinerary with you, provide maps, emergency back-up and of course arrange all the accommodation along the way.
