For a relaxing adventure we recommend hiring your own car or jeep and heading off to discover the treasures of South Africa at your own pace. One of the most popular ways to see South Africa, we can design a comprehensive itinerary that leaves plenty time for leisurely exploring and sightseeing or, if you are tight for time, a bespoke “highlights” itinerary. The road network in South Africa is modern and the highways along the main tourist routes are very safe. We supply maps and a detailed self-drive kit and we give you the local phone numbers of our South African representatives for added peace of mind.
