Tailor-made

Self-drives

Besides our example self-drives, we also offer tailor-made self-drives.  You indicate where you want to go and we compose the trip. It is also possible to start and /or end your trip at Johannesburg or Windhoek.

Lodges

If you want to exchange your tent for a lodge, then we like to  arrange that for you. Please be aware that inside the parks and reserves the lodge rates are inclusive of meals and game drives. The rates vary roughly from € 300 to € 1800 per person per night (p.p.p.n.). Outside the parks, especially in the towns and villages, the lodges offer also only accommodation starting roughly from € 30 – € 50 p.p.p.n.

Excursions

If you are interested in birding, boating, culture, fishing, a helicopter view, horse riding or  walking, combine your self-drive  with one or more excursions.
