Our
self-drive
tours* is the ultimate product for independent travellers
who want full control over their daily travels. It allows
you to spend more time at attractions that you enjoy and to
cut out others less
suited to your taste. Our self-drive
tours* include, amongst other things: Avis
car rental with unlimited
mileage, super cover
insurance and temporary AA
membership; accommodation
and a travel
pack* (map, route descriptions,
contact numbers, etc). We provide tour
backup 24-hours a day, 7 days a week. Where appropriate
self-drive
tours* may include one or two guided
elements - such as joining a game
ranger*, on an open 4x4 safari vehicle, to explore the
African bush on bush tracks not open to the general public.
The number of
people you can fit into a vehicle will depend on which vehicle
you choose. The
largest rental vehicle available is the Volkswagen Caravelle
(a "van" to Americans) which seats 8 people. If
need be we can provide your group/ party with more than one
vehicle. Tours can be customised*.
Self-drive
tours & safaris* are arranged according to luxury
level ( middle-range & top-end).
In each luxury level tours are arranged by length of stay
(2-7 days, 8-14 days, 15-21 days & more than 21 days). Links
to these various "luxury level & length of stay"
categories follow below. For a
brief explanation of our non-self-drive tour products go back
