Wild Traffic: On Safari in South Africa
 
 
This is the category for visitors to Africa that want to be in charge of their safari itinerary. Here you will find rental cars and 4 x 4s with camping equipment, BMW motorbikes and motorhomes for hire, that can take you through South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique.

 

South Africa for instance is a perfect country for a self-drive holiday. The highways and roads are well maintained and the driving relaxed - apart from big cities during rush hours. Accommodation from campgrounds to 5 Star hotels is easy to find whilst on safari. Every few kilometres the landscape changes. You can enjoy magnificient views from mountain passes or cruise along the coast with the wind in your hair. You won't find a Route 66 in South Africa, but the Route 62, which takes you on a safari through winelands to the ostrich capital of Oudtshoorn.

The advantage of a self-drive holiday: You are the director of your own road movie. But bare in mind: Africa is a vast country and the distances between sights are sometimes larger than they occur at first. And there is so much to see that you will stop more often than expected.

 

Our advice for your selfdrive safari: Plan every day so that you have ample time to arrive at your destination before dark and relaxed enough to still enjoy the sunset. We gladly help you with the planning of your safari route. Mail us with your ideas!
