Advantages of Self-drive Tours

For travelers who prefer adventures at their own pace, direction and review, self-drive tours are ideal. However, you need not go it all on your own – African Sky offers various itineraries to assist the independent traveler. We will plan your general route and book your accommodations, flights, and rental vehicle. All you have to do is show up for the trip of a lifetime.

Due to the excellent infrastructure of the country's main roads and major national parks, self-driving in South Africa is both safe and straightforward. Your rental vehicle will always include a GPS, ensuring that, while you may lose yourself in the spectacular landscapes around you, you'll always be able to find your way to your destination. We'll also provide detailed information on attractions and activities relevant to your route, along with helpful travel tips and restaurant recommendations.

The most popular self-drive routes include the drive from Johannesburg to the world-famous Kruger National Park and the coastal road between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. Suppose you're looking to combine both northern and southern highlights. In that case, we'll ensure that some flights are included to minimize long travel distances and maximize time enjoyed at the most sought-after destinations.
