The advantage of a guided self drive is you'll be guided by an expert but will still be able to drive your own vehicle and experience an intimate and private safari yourself.

South Africa is an ideal self-drive safari destination as it offers an extensive and modern road system and has a mobile phone network covering most of the country. In Madagascar we have to supply a driver with all vehicles’ we hire out as there are no proper roads or signs on the road network in the country. In Namibia, Botswana and Zambia - with their gravel roads and off road driving - it is better to go on a guided self drive in one of our 4x4 safari vehicles.
