An ever increasing number of travellers are shying away from organised and guided holidays and prefer to explore a destination at their own pace depending on their interests. On the African continent, this type of holiday is generally not possible, bar for the seasoned adventure traveller. South Africa is one of the few exceptions on this continent and offers itself as an ideal, travel-friendly, self drive destination of unexpected variety. |

South Africa has an excellent network of tarred roads allowing easy travel to any area visited. Road signs are frequent and easily followed, petrol is widely available and relatively well priced, cellular networks cover most of the country and communication is both easy and affordable. Generally distances travelled are substantial, especially by European standards, however traffic density is relatively low and in conjunction with the excellent road network, travel times are reasonable.
Your South Africa self drive holiday can easily be combined with the many other activities available such as a spectacular train journey or a comfortable cruise on a cruise ship along the coast of South Africa to take you back to your point of departure. Our self drive specialist partners have carefully planned a few sample itineraries to show you what is possible and what works well. There are many variations on these self drive holiday itineraries, so contact one of our self drive specialists to put together a suitable self drive holiday tour package in South Africa for you.
