Imagine the satisfaction you will feel after driving yourself to a park, spotting your own animals for the first time and making your camp home for the next couple of nights. Sitting around the fire whilst enjoying a well-earned cold beer, you watch the African sun set and listen to the calls of the wild. The experience is something to behold and will stay with you forever and is totally unique.

Whichever type of self-drive you choose, your totally unique safari will stay with you forever. And as you entertain your family and friends with your countless tales of adventure, you will be dreaming of your next safari. There is more than just one way self-drive works:

→ Lodge Hop;

→ Camp and Lodge;

→ Safari refu or safari kubwa (Long Safari or Big Safari in Swahili) .

See below for more detailed descriptions ... Guided Self Drive Safaris can also be arranged, which includes a driver/guide +/- cook. Please enquire for more details.

Lodge Hop - You will drive from luxury lodge to lodge at your own pace, and be pampered every night with fine dining and all the comforts of home. On your way to the lodges, you can take your time to explore and fine tune your eye as you develop the art of game viewing. Having the exclusivity of your vehicle allows you to steer away from the mass tourists.

Camp and Lodge - This is a great way of experiencing the best of both worlds. Our vehicles are fully equipped with the best camping equipment and packed methodically, making everything easy to use and easily accessible, leaving you free of unnecessary hassles, allowing you more time to enjoy the experience.
You can choose to stay in public campsites which are well sign-posted and usually have toilets and showers or we can book you into special campsites which are basic, but in beautiful and totally secluded locations. The camping is both rewarding and thrilling and the sense of self reliance invigorating.
After a few nights camping you can make your way to a luxury lodge, dust yourself off and as you refresh yourself on a terrace bar, encapsulate an audience of jealous guests who are keen to hear your unique stories and adventures which they have missed. The next morning you set off longing to return to the serenity of your own campsite.

Safari refu or safari kubwa - (Long Safari or Big Safari in Swahili) - This trip is for the outbound adventurous types. Here you will be camping for all of your trip, either in public or special campsites. Going back to nature and the basics will awake your primeval spirit/soul, making you forget instantly the fast paced, disposable world you have left behind.
Nothing can make you feel more alive than being self-reliant. Fridges are supplied with the vehicle, allowing you to stock up on local fresh fruits and vegetables bought at the market, then cooked over an open fire made by yourself. The outcome of your efforts tastes and smells even better as you relax and become absorbed in your surroundings. Buying your own food and drink is in itself an experience not to be missed.
