Which part of Africa calls to you?
From Botswana’s salt pans to Mozambique’s coastline. Every destination has its own rhythm, landscape and route. We help you find the place that fits the way you want to travel.
Do you already know where you want to go?
Africa is vast. And every country asks for a different way of travelling. Maybe you want days filled with wildlife, your first self-drive through Africa, or roads where you barely see another vehicle.
Whatever draws you in, this is where you find the destination that fits.
For days filled with wildlife
Botswana takes you into places like Moremi and Chobe, where the journey is often shaped as much by what appears beside the road as by where you spend the night.
A great place for your first African self-drive
South Africa combines accessible routes with plenty of variety along the way. A natural place to get used to the rhythm of travelling under your own steam.
Where the road gets rougher
In Zambia and Zimbabwe, the journey more often takes you beyond the main roads. Less predictable, more hands-on.
Where space sets the pace
Namibia is desert, gravel, coastline and wide-open views. Here, the road between places matters just as much as the destination itself.
Where are you heading?
From desert roads to wildlife reserves and tropical coastlines. Every destination has its own landscape, rhythm and way of travelling. Choose a country on the map and see where your journey could begin.

Your story begins the moment you start driving.

Frequently asked questions.
From driving a 4x4 to routes, preparation and sleeping along the way. Here you’ll find answers to the questions that often come up before you set off.
When traveling to Southern Africa, it is important to take into account numerous differences in both culture and climate.
Currently, a positive travel advice applies to Namibia, Botswana and South Africa. For the most up to date information we advice you to check the website of the national government for current affairs.
Furthermore, due to the severe drought and heat in the summer in Southern Africa, it is advised to bring enough water. Our cars are equipped with a large water tank and a spare wheel, which allows you to drive safely. However, if you are traveling to more remote areas, we recommend bringing extra water.
Namibia
In cities such as Windhoek and Swakopmund, it is advisable to stay alert to, for example, pickpockets. However, in general there is relatively little crime in this country and the population is friendly and always willing to help.
Botswana
In the larger cities, you should be alert to pickpockets and make sure to lock your car as there may be some crimes here. Furthermore, you should keep in mind that Botswana is a large country and when traveling, you may need to drive relatively large distances.
South Africa
In the bigger cities in South Africa, crimes may occur. Be alert at the international airport and do not get cash at the airport. As soon as you are outside the city, it will be more safe and the African population is friendly and willing to help.
Bring whatever makes you feel comfortable while travelling. In addition, there are a few practical items that are almost always useful:
- Warm clothing for chilly mornings and evenings
- Lightweight clothing for during the day
- A headlamp or flashlight
- Sunscreen and a hat or cap
- Insect repellent
- Sturdy shoes
- A reusable water bottle
- A small first-aid kit
- Spare batteries and charging cables
- Soft travel bags that fit easily in the 4x4
