4 X 4 self drive tours to the following areas:-

• Richtersveld

The Richtersveld National Park is the only mountain desert park in South Africa. Situated in the western corner of the Northern Cape on the border with Namibia.  The area is known for its rock formations and succulent species of which some are confined to the area. The best time for a visit, depending on the rainy season, is late winter, early spring. A visit during autumn can also be recommended specially for those who would like to put the newly acquired 4 X 4 to the test and also would like to explore nature and to forget city life for a while.

The tour starts at Springbok, “capital” of Namakwaland and ends at Kuboes, the main town of the Richtersveld, with a cultural evening. We provide breakfast and dinner.

If silence is a priority this breakaway is highly recommended. We provide two-way radio-communication on a dedicate channel as well as driver training on this eight day self drive safari.

• Kgalagadi

The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park was the first cross border-park in South Africa. There were never fences in the park that borders with Botswana allowing animals to move freely between the two countries. Visitors are now also allowed to do the same, however border control procedures are to be adhered to before entering the park when you intend to exit at a gate in the other country. We do both side of the park starting in the South African side. At Mata-Mata we take part in a night drive provided by the park authorities. After we have completed the South African side we cross over to Mabuashehube with the access-route and overnight at one of the remote campsites.

To experience the virginity of the Kalahari you would need a 4 X 4 vehicle with low range. An off-road trailer / caravan can be taken provided the horses underneath the bonnet of the towing vehicle is strong enough to conquer the dunes..

As with all our tours we provide two-way radio-communication on a dedicated channel to all vehicles in the convoy. We also provide recovery equipment and assist with driver training.

Breakfast, dinner as well as shower facilities are provided on this 10 day self drive safari.

• Karoo

If you are one of those who thought that the Karoo is that two hundred and eighty kilometre stretch from Touwsriver to Beaufort Wes, then you need to accompany us on a mountain and flower tour early spring. We visit a corbelled house that was occupied as recent as the early 1960’s. On this self-drive tour we tackle the “back-roads”, enjoy the flowers of the Tanqua Karoo from the Roggeveld-mountains. In the Biedouw valley we will test, driver skills on a 4X4 track, hike the Cederberg-mountains and visit the Southern African Large Telescope at Sutherland.

We limit this tour to six vehicles to allow ample time to explore the beauty of the Karoo. As usual we provide two-way radio-communication on a dedicated channel for the duration of the tour. Breakfast, dinner and snacks are provided.
