Self-drive tours are becoming increasingly popular with independent visitors who enjoy flexibility and like to travel at their own pace. With South Africa, Namibia and Botswana’s decent road networks and infrastructure, and a wealth of online resources and literature, embarking on a self-guided tour is easy. 

However, navigating an unfamiliar country or region requires more than published travel information, which can quickly become outdated. Local knowledge and awareness are crucial for ensuring a safe and rewarding experience. 

That’s where we come in. 

Our self-drive, ’Do it Yourself’ tours across the sub-region are based on our years of guiding experience and extensive knowledge of the best sites and routes, local products and services and logistics. We also leverage our strong network of wildlife and birding enthusiasts and regional contacts.

Finding endemic species can be challenging, but local expertise can make all the difference. By using the services of a local guide, you significantly increase your chances of spotting elusive endemics, specials, and rarities.  

We can arrange these expert guides throughout your entire journey. This approach not only enhances your experience but also supports local communities, increasing their appreciation for conservation and ecotourism. 

We look forward to creating a rewarding, memorable and enjoyable self-drive tour for you!
