WELCOME 2 AFRICA - SOUTH AFRICA SELF DRIVE TOURS!

Welcome2Africa offers a wide variety of self drive tours around South Africa, from shorter tours concentrating a specific region or interest to longer tours covering the entire country.
Self drive itineraries are arranged to encompass every detail - with world-class comprehensive documentation ensuring total peace of mind during a getaway with a difference.

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, user-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. Kindly note that South Africa and its neighboring countries have left-hand side traffic. We have included approximate travel times on the itineraries which give an indication of the travel directly from point a to b and does not include stop-off touring time.

One of the concerns often raised is the safety aspect of a self drive holiday, the traveller can be assured that any areas of tourism value are safe. A general attitude of care and the acceptance that one is in a third world country, will allow for a trouble free holiday.

The itineraries provided in this section gives one an idea of the potential routes available with suggested accommodation offerings. Within such a diverse country offering so many special interest opportunities and as we place huge emphasis on creating lifetime experiences, self drive tours can be tailor made to meet specific time constraints, budgets and individual client preferences.

Accommodation and meals as indicated in the itinerary, car rental as per category mentioned inclusive of supercover, personal accident insurance and unlimited mileage, meet and great on arrival, tourism levy on accommodation, VIP card, deluxe self drive documentation pack and unlimited acces to back-up team.
