South Africa offers an incredible diversity of landscapes, wildlife and experiences, making it a fantastic destination for a self-drive adventure. Explore the wildlife-rich wilderness of Kruger National Park, discover Cape Town and its spectacular coastline, or follow the scenic Garden Route. Venture into the rugged Cederberg Mountains, the dramatic Drakensberg and the remote Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. In spring, the usually arid landscapes of Namaqualand burst into colour with spectacular displays of wildflowers. From mountain passes and coastal roads to remote bush camps, South Africa has something for every adventurous traveller.

Discover the towering red dunes of Sossusvlei, the wildlife-rich plains of Etosha National Park and the dramatic scenery of Damaraland, home to desert-adapted elephants. Follow the wild Atlantic coastline through Swakopmund and the Skeleton Coast, or journey south to the spectacular Fish River Canyon. With wide-open spaces, incredible photography opportunities and unforgettable desert campsites, Namibia is one of Southern Africa's ultimate self-drive destinations.
