Self-drive holidays

Nothing beats taking on the open road and exploring all the ins and outs of a destination at your own pace, taking in shifting landscapes and jaw-dropping vistas.

One of Africa’s youngest countries, the stunning landscape of Namibia is best enjoyed on an unforgettable self-drive adventure. Rent a car and cruise by at your own pace as you pass by vast red dunes and crashing waves. There are plenty of empty roads to be explored, but a good place to start is at the Etosha National Park where self-driving is an easy and affordable option. Water is scarce which means large herds of animals congregate around Etosha’s famous waterholes, including black rhinos and flamingos.

A good way to get under the skin of Zimbabwe is to get behind the wheel. With a mixture of scenic landscapes, history, culture and fantastic game viewing, Zimbabwe perfectly lends itself to self-drive discovery. Explore the beautiful Eastern Highlands, the Matobo Hills and the Victoria Falls all at your own pace.

With unbeatable scenery and endless adventure activities, South Africa’s Garden Route packs wildlife, culture, adventure, beach and cosmopolitan cities into one incredible trip of a lifetime. The route stretches along 200km and is sandwiched in between the Tsitsikamma Mountains and the Indian Ocean – making it a best way to experience South Africa’s stunning coastline.
