South Africa Self Drive

At last, a self-drive package designed for those clients that don’t want the formality of travelling in a group, but still want to take advantage of the excellent Drifters infrastructure, Inns, Game Lodge, and adventure activities throughout South Africa. This flexible package is aimed at self-drive clients that want to explore the country concentrating on the wilderness areas. Drifters Inns are all spectacularly located, most are far away from the hustle and bustle of cities. The concept behind Drifters Inns is that we are able to offer packages that visit almost all of the different eco-systems that exist within South Africa. For more information on the various Drifters Inns and Drifters Game Lodge please refer to pages 33 to 36 of this brochure

Regardless of the time period you have available, Drifters in conjunction with your agent will be able to plan the ideal itinerary for you. Because all Drifters Inns are owned by Drifters, and because all of our Inn staff are experienced guides, you enjoy all of the advantages and independence of a self-drive, but will still benefit from the knowledge and assistance of our staff throughout your holiday.

On Day 1 of your tour you will be met by Drifters at either Johannesburg, Cape Town or Durban airport and transferred to the first Drifters Inn where experienced staff will discuss your itinerary with you in detail. We will give you a list of telephone numbers and detailed directions for each of the Drifters Inns on your itinerary. Early on Day 2 your Europcar Group B car will be delivered to you and you will then make your own way to the next Drifters Inn with heaps of advice on the different routes, sights and attractions to see along the way.

Drifters consultants will assist you and your agent with the planning of the itinerary and will ensure distances covered are reasonable and that where necessary two nights are booked to allow time for the local attractions to be visited. An example of this would be two nights at Drifters Zululand Inn so that a full day is allowed for visiting Hluhluwe / Umfolozi Game Reserve. On the last day of your holiday you simply drop off the vehicle at the airport before departure.
