Travel South Africa at your own pace

Travel in South Africa is one great adventure after another: from Kruger Park safaris to the epic coastal Garden Route; from the bright lights of Cape Town to the sweeping Drakensberg mountains; from vineyards to deserts and from beaches to the bush. It really is 'the world in one country’. While travelling, you'll encounter lions, elephants, rhinos, ostriches, penguins and baboons. We'll give you a chance to immerse yourself in local culture while staying in Swazi beehive huts, bush chalets and traditional rondavels (circular African huts). Enjoy national parks, open savannas, ostrich farms, sweeping mountain views and then settle back at sunset with a chilled Savanna cider or a glass of South African wine.

Independent travel doesn't necessarily mean that you have to go it completely alone. We've been to South Africa, so we know the best places to visit and how to get there. No other travel organisation offers the wide range of authentic, out of the ordinary travel experiences that we can provide. Let us help you make your South Africa trip exciting, unforgettable and unconventional!

 

Create your own unique trip by choosing from a wide choice of building blocks called modules. These are short travel experiences, usually lasting between two and three days each, to the most unforgettable locations in South Africa. If you want to organise elements of your trip before departure, but don't want to book a group tour, we offer the perfect solution. Create an active adventure or something a little more laid-back, it's completely up to you - arrange as little or as much as you like.

We also offer a number of sample suggested itineraries; combinations of modules that allow you to travel in South Africa for two, three or more weeks. Suggested itineraries are made up of modules that fit well together. To ensure that your trip runs smoothly, we can make all necessary transportation reservations to get from place to place.    

Want a comfortable arrival in South Africa with everything taken care of for you? Book an Easy Going Starter Package, including airport pick-up and a two-night hotel stay. Let us arrange transportation in the form of domestic flights, rental cars or 4WD's and overnight stays in small comfortable hotels. If you enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, canoeing/ kayaking, mountain biking, horse and pony riding, rafting, diving, rock climbing or whale watching, let us make reservations for these activities during your travels.

Whether you are planning a 2-week trip to South Africa or stopping here as part of a multiple stop worldwide itinerary, we have the expertise and the airline deals to come up with the right flights for you. We will ensure that your flights are perfectly co-ordinated with your land arrangements in South Africa, giving you the convenience of booking everything under one roof. In addition, we will keep you up to date on any airline schedule changes that might occur while you are away and will adjust your travel plans where necessary.
