Our Quick Guide to South Africa

Getting Around South Africa: Self-Drive or Guided Tours

We highly recommend self-driving, as it's the best way to see the country. Generally, the roads are good, and although drives can be long, we will always recommend places to break your journey in charming towns or places with beautiful scenery. We suggest hiring a larger car for the longer journeys, for a more comfortable experience.


Of course not everyone feels comfortable driving themselves in a foreign country and for that reason we can arrange for transfers, domestic flights or even a small group tour if that’s your preference. We firmly believe that a holiday is about enjoyment and it’s important that you do exactly what you’ll enjoy.

See our Self-Drive and Transfers sections for detailed information and what options you can choose from.


South Africa has several international airports, the main entry and exit points being Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. Internally, and inter-regionally, there is a great network of airlines that serve cities, towns and National Parks.
