Types of Travel in South Africa
Luckily, South Africa warrants many return visits so you can travel a different way on each next trip. Whatever your travel style, our consultants and operations team on-site got your back.
Self-Drive Trips
South Africa is one of the most popular destinations in Africa to do a self-drive trip – let’s call it what it is: an epic road trip. Good road conditions, ample signage, and intimate family-run guesthouses make South Africa accessible for independent travellers. You tell us what you’d like to experience, we put together your itinerary, book your reliable car and accommodations. You hop in your adventure rental, and off you go.
Guided Lodge Tours
Let our guides do the driving and immerse yourself in South Africa’s nature, history and culture. Whether you join our small group tours or book a tailor-made private tour – at intimate camps and lodges and from the window-seat of our Mercedes Sprinters your trip is about making connections, not following the crowd. Our guides share their invaluable local knowledge with you so you can experience your surroundings in context.
Hiking Trips
Hike along the untouched trails of the remote Wild Coast, where nature is still in charge. Wander the Drakensberg Mountains at the first light of day and take the deepest breath you have taken all year. On our hiking trips in South Africa, you get active in nature, connecting with the land, its wildlife, its plants, its magic. Your guide will lead the way and share their local knowledge about the area. At night, rest in rustic huts and comfortable guesthouses. Let’s go!
Anything you can imagine
Gourmet food and wine tours, surfing trips, weekends in the city or lodge stays in the bush – there are a hundred and one ways to travel South Africa. Whether you’re a solo traveller, a family of six, a honeymooner couple or friends on your trip around the world, we’ll share our favourite spots with you so you will have the unique experience you were looking for.
Even if you travel in a rental car, it is great to have a contact person to ask all your questions and have an expert designing the route and booking the accommodations.
